This week Aoife Moore of the Irish Examiner catches us up on the news, including the consequences for government TDs who didn't cooperate on the National Maternity Hospital and the rising star that is Irish athlete Rhasidat Adeleke. Louise O'Neill joined me to talk about her new book Idol and why we can't always trust our own memories. Then, Esther O'Moore Donohoe delights us with an update on the week's culture and entertainment stories, from Cara Delevingne at the Billboard Music Awards to what percentage happy vs. what percentage jealous we are about Nicola Coughlan's brilliant success.
You can buy Louise O'Neill's book here.
Recommendations this week include Cecelia Aherne's book Freckles (I actually listened to the Audiobook which is really well-read, would recommend), Amy Schumer's new series Life & Beth (now available on Disney Plus) and a little note that last week's film recommendation The Worst Person in the World is now on Mubi.
