Podcast Overview

Friends In Low Places (FILP) is an Irish midlife podcast about that stage of life where your back goes out more than you do. Hosted by four friends navigating life after 40, it’s a funny, honest and slightly cynical look at relationships, marriage, dating then and now, parenting, ageing, health, money, friendship, nostalgia and modern Irish life. Not self-help and not stand-up comedy — just real conversations, Irish humour, shared experience, and laughing at midlife realities once the dust finally settles. Website: www.filppodcast.com
