My Mate Murphy
Hosted by Padraig Mac Liam · EN
My Mate Murphy is a podcast about a fella who’s been to over 110 countries — including a few you’ve never heard of.
Each week we dive into the history and politics of one place, then hear what Murphy got up to there — from naked couchsurfing to dodgy border crossings.
He’s not writing a book, so I’m doing this instead — to get the stories out while we’re still laughing.
