Dear Nelly

In this hilarious and heartfelt podcast, award-winning comedian Nelly Thomas and guest co-hosts offer sex, relationship and dating advice from the other side of 40.

Like many people, Nelly got “Covid Divorced” after a long relationship and not only was it not a disaster, it was best for everyone involved. Turning 40 is something faced with dread by some but Nelly has a different take - this is when you really come into your own. Nelly and her guest co-hosts will help you navigate the highs and lows of break-ups, dating, relationships, sex and everything else in-between. Guest co-hosts so far include Cal Wilson, Harley Breen, Mel Buttle, Scott Brennan and Geraldine Hickey.

LOVING this podcast

So much admiration for Nelly Thomas and her ability to kindly and firmly name and discuss the toughest bits of life while also giving so much love, light, hope, and humor. A great, inclusive listen regardless of your age, relationship status, or relationship goals. I absolutely love it.

Son Guzzardi: Welcome to kink and ho’s

This was my first episode and it was fantastic. Son is a good friend and I love hearing their story. Son is so so incredibly brave to talk openly about experiences and life lessons. I enjoyed the open discussion, and the laughter and support was so utterly genuine. I look forward to listening to more! Great job Son! Thanks Nelly for presenting this opportunity for us to listen and learn!
