We often take our friends for granted, yet they become increasingly important in our lives as we grow older. We also tend to have fewer close friends as time goes by, which might be more about biology than the capacity in our diaries. But do we value friendship enough?

The one about friendship

Three northern blokes talk about midlife and growing old disgracefully: the kind of things you want to say, but rarely ever do.

Hosts David Eccles, Phil Birchenall and Andy Hall explore how confronting life head-on - with all the crap it throws your way - makes you stronger, older, bolder and, of course, that little bit wiser. 

We’ll share our own experiences and talk to friends about life’s ups and downs, what’s worked, and what definitely didn’t. 

Frank, fearless, funny. Talking Cod.
