Renowned comedian and television personality Katherine Ryan is set to debut her latest venture, a podcast titled “What’s My Age Again?” in collaboration with Bauer Media Audio. This innovative series offers a humorous and insightful exploration of ageing, wellness, and self-discovery. The podcast is scheduled to launch on April 22, 2025, and will be accessible on major platforms including Rayo, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and Google Podcasts.
A Fresh Perspective on Ageing
In a society that often emphasizes chronological age, Ryan’s podcast aims to shift the focus towards biological vitality. Each episode features in-depth conversations with notable UK celebrities who undergo comprehensive blood tests to determine their biological age, providing a contrast to their actual age. These revelations lead to engaging discussions about personal health, lifestyle choices, and perceptions of ageing.
Esteemed Guests and Expert Insights
The inaugural episode features Irish comedian and podcaster Joanne McNally. Subsequent episodes will include appearances by celebrities such as Olivia Attwood, Adam Buxton, Jill Scott, Bryony Gordon, Dame Sheila Hancock, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Alastair Campbell, and Dame Denise Lewis. To provide scientific context, Dr. Nichola Conlon, a specialist in longevity and cellular ageing, joins the discussions to interpret test results and share the latest research in the field.
Katherine Ryan’s Vision
Katherine Ryan expressed her enthusiasm for the project, stating, “In a beauty-obsessed society that rewards aesthetic youth, what about the far more impactful biological vitality? As a pretty clean-living autoimmune disease sufferer with loads of inflammation, I’m excited to be investigating cutting-edge technology that tests glycolic age with a mix of my celebrity friends. Are they biologically older or younger than they think they are? What can we all be doing differently to extend our lives? Who will be willing to give me their actual blood for a podcast?”
Bauer Media’s Commitment to Innovative Content
Lucie Cave, Bauer Media Audio’s Chief Creative Officer, highlighted the company’s dedication to pioneering content, stating, “We are absolutely thrilled to welcome ‘What’s My Age Again?’ to our podcast family. Katherine has always had a unique ability to blend humour with meaningful conversation, and this podcast takes that to a whole new level. The concept of measuring glycolic age rather than biological age is groundbreaking, and with Katherine’s wit and her celebrity guests, we believe it will be an engaging, entertaining, and educational experience for listeners. It’s truly a perfect match, and I know listeners are going to love this innovative new show.”
