Catch Up with Miriam O'Callaghan

Miriam O'Callaghan is iconic in the truest sense of the word, so I jumped at the chance to interview her before I had even read her book. Once I got my hands on it, though, I was even more excited for this conversation. Life, Work, Everything covers Miriam's whole life, from her family life growing up in Dublin to her life as a parent and of course her career. We cover a lot of ground in this episode, but honestly, I could have talked to her all day. I hope you enjoy.

Catch Up with Holly Cairns

I was honoured when Holly Cairns asked if I'd be up for chatting with her in her first sit down interview since she returned to Leinster House since giving birth on polling day last year. We discussed the reality of becoming a mother as a sitting TD and leader of the Social Democrats, and why she's keen to get more women and people from diverse backgrounds in to politics, as well as how she feels about the current anti-immigration discourse. I hope you enjoy.

Entertainment Catch-Up: Billie vs. the Billionaires, Britney and Kevin and Yet More Lily and David

I mean, if any of us thought I'd manage to get through this week's episode without talking about Lily Allen then we were sorely mistaken because there is a Lily update, along with chats about Billie Eilish taking on the billionaires and the changes afoot in the royal family.

Catch Up with Carl Kinsella (but not about the news)

Today's interview felt strange initially, because while Carl and I are used to chatting, we're not used to chatting about ourselves... or not to each other anyway. Fortunately, Carl's book, At Least it Looks Good From Space, is so excellent that we shook off the strangeness quickly to get into my questions about what it includes, including Carl's experience of OCD, the reality of intrusive thoughts, male friendship and Dollywood of course.

Catch Up with Ruthanne

Ruthanne was 17 when she co-wrote Jojo's hit song 'Too Little Too Late', and has been in the music industry since, writing for everyone from One Direction to Kelly Clarkson and Britney Spears. She's used her experience and expertise to write her book, It's Not Just a Song, which is out now and operates as a how-to guide for someone entering the music industry. Of course, Ruthanne is also a talented artist, whose latest album The Moment is released today.


I caught up with her to chat about her experience in the music industry, the role that being a woman has played in it, and the limitations placed on women in the Irish industry in particular.
