Life after 40 is often described as the “second act,” and two of South Africa’s most dynamic media voices are stepping into it with confidence and conversation. Broadcaster Mpho Maboi and former journalist now marketer Gabi Mbele have teamed up to launch a brand-new podcast designed especially for adults in their 40s navigating career shifts, family life, self-discovery and everything in between.

Named #40Something the podcast promises to be an honest, witty and relatable space for listeners who may feel caught between youth and maturity. From cultural conversations and lifestyle trends to personal growth and career pivots, Maboi and Mbele bring their trademark authenticity, humour and sharp perspectives to every episode.

What sets the podcast apart is its focus on an audience often overlooked in digital spaces—people in their 40s who are redefining what adulthood means in today’s world. “We’re talking about the realities of our generation—what we’ve learnt, what we’re unlearning, and how we’re finding joy in it all,” the duo say.

For listeners craving content that feels grown-up yet refreshing, this new podcast promises to be both a mirror and a guide. Whether you’re figuring out how to balance ambition with rest, or simply want a laugh about the quirks of midlife, Mpho and Gabi have you covered.

The podcast is proudly brought to you by Amati Creatives Studios.
