Forties AF is a sassy, engaging, and humorous fiction drama podcast that follows the lives of three forty-something single friends—Hope, Chanise, and Brianna—as they navigate the challenges and joys of life after their thirties. Each character brings a unique perspective: Hope is an entertainment magazine reporter and aspiring writer, Chanise is a newly empty-nested postal carrier, and Brianna is a hairstylist seeking her perfect happiness. The series explores themes of friendship, love, personal growth, and rediscovery, all with sharp humor and heartfelt moments.
Created by Tanisha Quilter-Williams, a former Hollywood journalist with experience at ICM, WMA, Inside Edition, E! Entertainment, and US Weekly, Forties AF combines professional storytelling with authentic life experiences. Since its launch, the podcast has amassed over 150,000 downloads with minimal marketing, was chosen to participate in Gotham Pitch Week 2021, and earned a nomination for Best Fiction Podcast by the Podcast Awards–People’s Choice.
Forties AF continues to expand, with Season 3 in development and a dedicated writer’s room to provide exposure for emerging writers in the industry. The podcast exemplifies strong character-driven storytelling and creative production, making it a standout project in audio entertainment.
