ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Making friends as an adult isn’t always easy - especially once college ends, people move abroad, and everything feels like it revolves around the pub.
Leah chats to Redmond Newell , founder of Galway-based Social Beyond the Pub, about why he started the group and the big response it got from people in their 20s looking for a more relaxed way to meet others.
They talk about why making friends can feel more daunting in your 20s, the extra challenge for people in rural areas, and how price, lifestyle and “the next morning” are changing how young people want to socialise.
Plus, Redmond shares what to expect from their next meet-up at Wildlands in Moycullen - and why showing up solo might be the best way to do it.
