Would you go full naked in a spa?
Welcome to the first episode of Well, That’s Awkward — the brand-new, unfiltered podcast for women over 40 (and the men curious about what we’re whispering about). Hosted by broadcaster Susan Osman and Wellbeing Magazine’s founder Rachel Branson, this witty new show dives head-first into the topics most people avoid… and finds the laughter hiding inside them.
👯♀️ Meet the Hosts
Susan Osman is a seasoned broadcaster, journalist and screenwriter, best known for her work with the BBC, bringing her trademark curiosity, quick humour, and journalistic edge to every episode.
Rachel Branson, Founder and Editor-in-Chief of Wellbeing Magazine, has spent almost two decades exploring the worlds of health, wellness and self-development. Together, the two friends bring the perfect mix of professional insight, midlife wisdom, and the kind of laughter that usually happens once the mocktails start flowing.
The pair first met on a bio-meditation retreat — bonded over yoga shaking, gibberish chanting and shared eye rolls — and haven’t stopped laughing since. Now they’re bringing that same energy to Well, That’s Awkward: a one-take, sofa-side podcast where nothing is too weird, too personal or too real to talk about.
Episode 1: How Naked Is Too Naked? – European Spa Etiquette
In the debut episode, Rachel returns from a luxury wellness retreat in Austria and discovers the infamous “no-textile” spa rule — where swimsuits are removed and modesty is, quite literally, optional.
From towel technique and sauna etiquette to the awkwardness of cold plunge pools and accidental eye contact, this episode explores Europe’s refreshingly relaxed approach to body confidence… and the cultural shock that comes with it.
As always, Rachel and Susan manage to turn even the steamiest topic into a hilarious and relatable conversation about vulnerability, confidence, and letting go (of clothes and expectations).
