About the show

IT IS WHAT IT IS! is hosted by radio presenter Katie Sheehan and Aisling Unfiltered. Katie is a radio presenter known for honest, straight talking conversations about real life as it actually happens. Aisling is a well known TikTok creator with over 120,000 followers, recognised for saying what others are thinking and refusing to sugar coat lived experience. This podcast is about real life as it really is. The messy bits. The hard lessons. The things you only learn by going through it. They talk openly about what they have lived through, what has worked for them, what has not, and what they wish they knew sooner. They also sit down with real people to talk about real experiences, without filters or pretending. Nothing is off limits. No stone is left unturned. If people are living it, we are talking about it. Because sometimes the only honest thing you can say is it is what it is.
