Warning: Gid levels are high. 

For our second installment of our 'Ask A Lad' series, we invited our mate Niall McEvoy to come on the podcast. We got a lads perspective on lots of topics you guys sent in - like navigating dating apps, ghosting, lad culture, the workplace... and loads more.

How do you get yourself through a tough time? Our mate Aimee Lyons posted something incredibly moving and genuinely inspirational to her Instagram recently, about how she made positive changes in her life that helped her out of a dark place. She tells us her story - from uprooting and moving abroad, to ditching fuckboys and a stint as a dog walker (unreal).

Being an adult is scary and challenging, but has some deadly perks (like buying a takeaway whenever you want). We talk about how we're struggling to be successful adults and what being an adult actually means to us. We also asked our listeners what the best thing is about being a grown-up... and what's the worst.

ALSO... some extra tidbits and info on our next live pubcast on March 9th 2019.

We were only delighted to welcome comedian, author, activist, actor extraordinaire Tara Flynn to The State of Us. We try read some problems sent in by listeners, and hashed it out of a cup of tea. PS. Don't forget to tune into Tara's podcast 'Taranoia' wherever you get your podcasts - it's whopper.

It's 2019, and we're having ALL sorts of feelings about the turning of another year. We look back on 2018 with rose-tinted glasses, talk about our resolutions and how we're feeling entering another calendar year.

Warning: We come across a bit glum and mad existential, having been flung back into work and mundane January life... can you blame us though?
