Show Notes
You might know Siobhán McSweeney from Derry Girls, The Great Pottery Throw Down, Amandaland, Ru Paul's Drag Race or (soon) Traitors Ireland... Basically, she's bloody everywhere and now she's added the Before The Lights podcast to that illustrious list of career highlights.
In this discussion about her time on and off screen Siobhán explores her route to success, being "so proud" of herself after recovering from a life-changing injury and entertainment's role in creating stereotypes of who "is allowed to be in love" on screen.
She tells us about the cast of Derry Girls had "no idea" the show would be such a big success, and absolutely NOTHING about the upcoming series of Traitors Ireland.

This week we're joined by actor/ writer/ Overcompensating creator model/ Mary Beth Barone's muse Benito Skinner (aka Benny Drama).
'Two actors and a rugby player join a zoom call' sounds like the start of a really rubbish joke, but it's actually the beginning of a very special conversation.
