About this listen

 It's Five O'Clock Somewhere is a new podcast from authors, bloggers and great friends, Jo Middleton and Gill Sims. In it, Gill and Jo kick back with a cocktail and have a bit of fun discussing random topics including but not limited to, parenting, hormones, menopause, weird nineties sex tips, and relationships. Oh, and we also proffer advice we are in no way qualified to give in our regular problem page slot. Jo Middleton is the creator of the award winning Slummy Single Mummy blog, and the author of Playgroups and Prosecco, and Gill Sims is the author of the bestselling Why Mummy series of books, The Saturday Night Sauvignon Sisterhood, and the Peter and Jane blog. We met at an event several years ago, where we bonded over how much we were missing our pets, but not our children. Subsequent meetings saw us crashing a wedding, starting a party in a hotel bar we had persuaded the night porter to open, and liberating a bottle of tequila from a terrifying sausage conglomeration in Brighton. We have not yet been arrested on a night out, but give it time. Get in touch with us by email at itsfiveoclocksomewherepodcast@hotmail.com, or follow us on Instagram @its5oclocksomewherepodcast, on Facebook It's Five O'Clock Somewhere and even on Twitter @5OClock_Podcast. We don't do TikTok. Our children have forbidden us. Also, it scares us. Produced by James Ede, BeHeard Hosted by LibSyn2022 Parenting & Families Relationships

    This week we're talking about Life Admin- what it involves, why it's boring, why we hate it, and why we love the nice man at Halfords who fixes your headlight bulbs. Jo is grown up and serious and talks about wills, Gill lowers the tone as usual.

    The Femosphere
    Apr 21 2026

    This week, we veer dangerously close to becoming serious, as we discuss the Femosphere, and whether it can really be classed as feminism, if it is a new thing, and if it is ever acceptable to use a mini sausage from a tin of sausage and beans as a cocktail garnish...?

    Remakes and Retakes
    Apr 14 2026

    This week, Jo and Gill are discussing remakes of classics. Jo is in favour, Gill is against. Then the chat veers into a side quest about spiral ham, a potential pork based fashion line a la Lady Gaga, and an idea for a very dark remake of The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, despite neither Gill nor Jo being entirely sure what exactly a faun is...

Listening to this podcast feels like going to a cocktail bar with two amusing, highly entertaining friends and quietly sipping my drink while they get on with what they do best.

Two middle aged, middle class, hormonal ladies shooting the breeze. And it's absolutely hysterical!!! As a man married whose wife is pre-menopausal this pulls back the curtain on her and what her friends are discussing and going through. Thanks to both of you.

Just Brilliant!!!

Bonkers, but brilliant.
