About this podcast
JustFU - short for Just For Us - is three old friends in their 60s talking about life, swapping stories, sharing opinions, busting each other’s chops, and laughing at the absurdities along the way. Recorded in a garage studio on the North Carolina coast, Mark, Peter, and Steve talk about family, marriage, aging, work, friendships, childhood, travel, and whatever else happens to come up. No politics, no religion, no sports, and no agenda. Just three friends hanging out, talking about life, and having a good time doing it. And you get to listen in!
