🧙♀️NEW EPISODE ALERT!
This week on The Parting Glass, I sat down with the absolutely terrifying, spell-casting, broom-riding menace to society… Ruth Coppinger 😱
That’s right - the woman some folks on X (formerly known as Twitter, but still full of trolls) lovingly refer to as a witch. Spoiler: no cauldron in sight, just sharp wit, feminism, and fiery takes. Hear Ruth's view on the "bro-ligarchs of the world", her teaching career, growing up in a big family in Dublin.
Tune in as we chat about politics, protests, and whether she prefers eye of newt or oat flat whites 🧹☕️
Burn the patriarchy, not women at the stake 🔥
