Friends
in
Low Places
That stage of life where your back goes out more than you do.
Four friends in their late 40s. Funny, honest and slightly cynical conversations about midlife in Ireland. Not self-help. Not stand-up. Just real talk.
"Not self-help. Not stand-up comedy. Just real conversations, Irish humour, shared experience and laughing at midlife realities once the dust finally settles."
Friends in Low Places (FILP) is an Irish midlife podcast hosted by four friends in their late 40s. FILP explores midlife in Ireland — work, careers, parenting, marriage, dating (then and now), ageing, health, money, friendship, 80s and 90s nostalgia and modern Irish life.
If you're navigating your 40s or 50s, juggling family and work, questioning career choices, or just missing the 80s or 90s — you'll feel right at home here.
Topics Covered
Irish Weddings are Mad
From pints before the ceremony to residents' bar sing-songs, best man speeches to beef or salmon — who fell off a stage, who had guests at the wrong reception, and would you do it all over again?
Room 101
Everyone has things that annoy them more than they should. Saint Patrick's Day, sun holidays, King Crisps and more — the lads make their case for what deserves to be banished forever.
Irish Music Scene We Grew Up With
Happy Saint Patrick's Day from FILP! The lads revisit the soundtrack of their youth — the Irish music scene of the 80s and 90s. Who actually knows their Irish music best?
The Friends You Keep
How the lads have kept their friendship intact over the years and what it really takes to stay connected through life's different stages. Plus: who's most likely to move to Portugal?
Four friends since the 90s. Still speaking. Somehow.
