Girls In Low Places

We are in reset mode so this week on Girls In Low Places, we’re throwing it back to our chat last year with Hannah Mcfarland. We yap all things Karma in love, her so-called “2 Month Curse”, and those swirling Chase Rice rumours 👀. Hannah opens up about staying true to herself, finding strength in the Backbone of authenticity, and why sometimes you just have to Let Him go. Hey Gilpers, I think we need a shoulder...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week on Girls In Low Places, we are late night calling one of our absolute faves... Carly Pearce.From breaking the internet at the Royal Albert Hall with Luke Combs, to writing one of her most emotionally brutal songs (Dream Come True), Carly opens up like never before about the reality behind the dream.We talk about:• The loneliness that can come with success• Missing friends’ weddings and choosing career first• Filling your house with awards but not with people• Meeting the love of your life later than you expected• Why no one’s life is as perfect as it looks on Instagram• Dolly Parton sleeping in her makeup (yes, really)Carly also gets brutally honest about hitting a creative and emotional slump, feeling left behind by “normal life”, and how Dream Come True came from a moment of total vulnerability.This is a conversation about ambition, womanhood, choosing a different path, and learning that there is no deadline on love, happiness, or getting your life “right”.If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything you dreamed of and still feeling a bit empty sometimes… this one’s for you.Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

MY GIRLS IN LOW PLACES, we are so back! Actually we never left, but… semantics. January might be a slower month for country artists in London but we’re not about to take it easy, so consider this our New Year’s Day hangover cure and a proper girls’ yap as we debrief Christmas, predict what 2026 has in store and get into the pop culture chaos we can’t stop watching.From Lainey Wilson’s potential wedding looks to Zach Bryan’s wedding discourse (because it’s all feeling a bit Something In The Orange), country pop-ups in British pubs and whether we’re about to get the Real Housewives of Nashville, this episode is basically a Whirlwind. Plus, I’m sharing my honest experience trying Mounjaro ahead of the CMAs and why I decided to stop....If you’re enjoying the show, it would mean the world if you could rate us five stars so we can keep taking Girls In Low Places from low to high places.

For this special Christmas Day episode, Katie heads back to her roots — the green hills of Surrey — for a festive, unfiltered year-in-review over Dolly Wines with a very special guest: her mum, Carole Atkin.With a glass in hand, Katie and Carole dive headfirst into this week’s biggest country music talking points — from the ever-expanding relationship web of Riley Green, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney and Tucker Wetmore, to Jelly Roll’s official pardon and powerful redemption arc, the Taylor Swift documentary, and why British humour desperately needs more space in country music media.Carole offers her bird’s-eye view on how Girls In Low Places has evolved from a sofa-based passion project into a guest-driven podcast with red carpet access, before sharing candid (and occasionally brutal) thoughts on dating, age gaps, fame, and why meeting someone “in real life” might still be the move.Festive, funny, reflective and unfiltered — a proper Christmas Day yap with country music at the centre. A Christmas "Carole" some would say.🎧 Pour a drink, press play, and Merry Christmas from Girls In Low Places.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
