The Fifty Something Podcast with Andy Barlow and Darran Medley is the podcast that discusses life in our fifties. We have no media training whatsoever, we're just two guys who've known each other for a long time and find ourselves in our mid-century with something to say about how we got here, what's happening now and where we think it's all going. We will chat about growing up, about current affairs, art, culture, jobs, money, family, sport, fashion, health and everything in-between. We would love our listeners to be part of the show, so please email us at fiftysomethingpodcast@gmail.com and get involved.
If you are a brand or service that speaks to the fifty something community, then Darran and Andy would love to review your products, please get in touch at the above email address.
