They say, “Life begins at 40.” But just how differently do we view everything we experience when we’ve hit the dreaded middle age? Paul & Scott’s Midlife Point looks for the humour in everything, while at the same time exploring more serious topics like mental health and well-being. Join us for a lighthearted yet thoughtful look at life from the point of view of two men in their early 40s who find themselves treading a fine line between inevitable weariness and hopeful rejuvenation.
