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?

"Everyone struggles with questions about love and fidelity at times, and I think my guests' stories will touch many listeners. With Datenight, we explore what true love really means to them and what they find important in a relationship. No hackneyed clichés, but sincere, often surprising details: who was their first great love? Did they split the bill on the first date? What are their wildest dreams?

Do we still sing the praises of folly like Erasmus, or is it trendy again to be smart? And if so, who is the smartest? Who can talk about the medals won at the Olympic Games in London, but at the same time knows who Captain Haddock is? Who knows whether Lacan was a hair growth product or a psychoanalyst and can also program their own digital television? Who has déjà vu when leafing through the Encyclopedia Britannica and when reading the interviews with the new Miss Waregem Koerse? Who, oh who, is the smartest person in Flanders, Belgium, Europe, and by extension, the world? That is determined by a fierce battle between three fellow human beings. Every day, someone is eliminated, someone who may not be the smartest, but who is perhaps cherished in their family circle because of their many other talents. The others advance and are joined by a new challenger every day.
