Nau mai, haere mai to grey areas with me, Petra Baggist.

Today I catch up with the indomitable Robin Malcolm, queen of stage and screen, who I first sat down with for season one of Grey Areas early in 2022.

Back then, we were both in the thick of perimenopause.

And look, since 2022, she has been busy.

She's co-directed, executive produced and starred in BAFTA-nominated series After the Party.

She's worked in heaps of drama series and movies like Pike River.

and a couple of documentaries, including a new one coming out this year on menopause.

She's also fallen in love as happily in her 60s and an absolute firecracker of a human being.

Here's Robin.

Rob and Malcolm, it's actually bloody brilliant to sit down and yarn with you again about almost five years after we talked for the first time when we were just like going, oh, perimenopause?

Can we what?

Yeah.

And it was like this journey of discovery.

I remember I was smack bang in the middle of it and going, there has to be a better script than this.
