Show Notes
For the very first show of the series, Richie travels to Galway to speak to Tommy Tiernan, eight months after meeting each other for the first time on Tommy's chat show.
Chatting in his garden studio - The Hen House - Tommy describes how emotions feel like dangerous territory for him, how his complex relationship with his mother continues to evolve years after she took her own life, why psychotherapy has been fruitless for him, and the repercussions of misjudged jokes.

A message for listeners: today's show includes discussions of themes that some people may find distressing from the outset and throughout, including sexual violence, sexual abuse and the sex trade.
Nine months ago, Pat Sheedy walked out of prison after spending more than two and a half years locked up for trying to fund his decades-long gambling addiction through various scams.
