Viva 50

Turning fifty: it’s the ultimate milestone that society loves to slap labels on. You’re supposed to suddenly settle down, lose your wild streak, and trade the festival grounds for unsolicited conversations about your cholesterol or the state of your lawn. But how much truth is there really to these clichés? Today marks the day Willy DJ Tomas De Soete blows out fifty candles, with Roos Van Acker following suit later this year. No cause for panic, but the perfect occasion for a brand-new weekly podcast: *Viva 50*. Across five episodes, the two Willy icons—joined by famous peers—discuss 50 clichés associated with hitting the big five-oh. Which ones do they ruthlessly debunk, and which ones are they forced to painfully admit apply to them? Armed with a healthy dose of self-deprecation and a barrage of sharp questions, they take on the sacred cows of midlife glory. Is fifty really the new forty? Do people actually mellow with age?
