Talking Cod: a survivor’s guide to middle age

For the second episode of Season Four, we're joined by an unexpected yet pretty damn interesting guest - ChatGPT.

We tackle the complexities of technology, from the intrusive nature of notifications to the health-monitoring capabilities of our smart devices.  We discuss the need for digital detoxes, the irreplaceable element of human authenticity, and how we can better navigate our relationship with tech. 

And as we offer our take, ChatGPT chimes in using the spooky new Voice Conversation feature, bridging the gap between human opinions and machine perspectives. You've really GOT to hear this.

What is Talking Cod: a survivor’s guide to middle age?

Three northern blokes talk about midlife and growing old disgracefully: the kind of things you want to say, but rarely ever do.

Hosts David Eccles, Phil Birchenall and Andy Hall explore how confronting life head-on - with all the crap it throws your way - makes you stronger, older, bolder and, of course, that little bit wiser.

We’ll share our own experiences and talk to friends about life’s ups and downs, what’s worked, and what definitely didn’t.


Frank, fearless, funny. Talking Cod.
