In Episode 1, two English teachers get to grips with podcasting! We talk about Irish storytelling and how that links with our long standing obsession with superstitions and cures, the Mayo curse and how one team's story captured the heart of the nation. We also discuss non-fiction novel 'Bad Bridget - Crime, Mayhem and the Lives of Irish Emigrant Women' by Elaine Farrell and Leanne McCormick.

This week we dive into the world of holidays. Where we used to have bin bag capes, shopping centre Santas and one egg you couldn't open until Easter Sunday, we now have weeks long marathons of events where we spend extortionate amounts of money and time trying to create magical memories for our kids. We want to know whether our kids are actually having better childhoods or whether we are stressing ourselves out so much trying to micro manage a bank of Instagram worthy memories, that we are actually missing the magic ourselves?
This week we talk about perimenopause - the good, the bad and the bizarre! Niamh has come armed with loads of really helpful information and Mikaela is providing visible shock and distress, along with some tangents and jokes to stave off the horrors. Buckle in!
This week we dive into the world of cults - some newbies, some oldies and Hannah Murray's memoir!
