in this episode i sit down with my beloved mammy June where she rightfully challenges my statement that she emotionally neglected me. we discuss her childhood, from when she heard a banshee before her daddy died, being used as a human shield by the brits when she was out selling bingo tickets, to witnessing the monaghan bombing. we also talk about the nuns, her brothers being interned in long kesh prison, soldier dolls, and a pretty awkward conversation about periods. we also have a pretty honest chat about the cycle of addiction in our family, and her own journey of overcoming alcoholism.
