About the show

Parting Words, from Rip.ie, and proudly sponsored by An Post Insurance, is a podcast about the messages we leave behind.​ Through personal stories, music, and reflection, we explore how grief shapes us and how parting words can echo long after goodbye.​ Each episode invites a well-known guest (artist, broadcaster, athlete, thinker) to reflect on someone they’ve lost, share the soundtrack of their mourning, and imagine the final message they’d leave behind — with warmth, wit, and wisdom.
