These days you'll see her on Nationwide, or indeed on bookshelves via her new YA novel Braids Take a Day. It was a real pleasure to chat to her about her career, Nigerian culture, going your own way in terms of career and, of course, her book.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes (including my brand new monthly tv/movies/whatever you're having yourself episode with Emer McLysaght) join our community on Patreon.

Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!After the heaviness of Monday's news episode, I'm happy to report that the stories from the world of entertainment are largely light this week. We say goodbye to James Earl Jones, chat about Beyoncé being snubbed by the Country Music Awards, Heidi Klum's incredible privilege (imagine having the space to have a designated sex closet?!?) and lots more.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes (including my brand new monthly tv/movies/whatever you're having yourself episode with Emer McLysaght) join our community on Patreon.

Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!You probably know Emma Doran as a comedian, you've probably seen her on Amazon Prime's Last Man Laughing, or via her viral social media videos, or through her stand up gigs or whatever you're having yourself. Now, she's also an author. Her book, Mad, Isn't It?, shares her youth in Dublin, experience of becoming pregnant at eighteen, and building the lovely life she has now. It's really funny, but it also acknowledges a lot of the less funny experiences women our age had as we attempted to find our place in the world. I loved it, and loved having the opportunity to talk to her about it this week. I hope you do too.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes (including my brand new monthly tv/movies/whatever you're having yourself episode with Emer McLysaght) join our community on Patreon.
