This week's interview is with Nicki Killeen, who is HSE Project Manager on emerging drug trends, harm reduction and nightlife. I met Nicki this week after following her work in the drugs sector for years, and was so impressed by her passion for harm reduction when it comes to drugs, as well as her vast knowledge of drug culture and trends in Ireland and beyond. I knew you guys would be interested in learning about how drug culture has changed, and what the HSE is doing to keep people safe in nightlife in Ireland, so I was delighted she agreed to a chat.

496. Catch Up with Roisin Kiberd
53:42||Season 1, Ep. 496When I heard that Irish writer and creative writing lecturer Roisin Kiberd had written a book of essays on beauty, I knew I had to read it. Once I'd read it, I knew I had to chat to her about it, so that's what you're going to hear today. The Most Normal Woman explores Roisin's relationship with beauty, beauty ideals, beauty niches and beauty standards and I absolutely loved it.
