This week I chatted to Aoife Cassidy McMenamin of Education Equality Ireland about their campaign to remove religious instruction from schools. As you probably know, many Irish families have no choice but to send their children to Catholic schools, and this is having a significant impact on children's education. Aoife tells us about the efforts being made to change that.

48:55||Season 1, Ep. 474This is one of my favourite conversations I've ever had on the podcast. I have been a long admirer of Alok Vaid-Menon's work as a comedian, writer and performance artist. Their work around gender and identity is clarifying and vital, and they are also funny and stylish and full of love and compassion. I was so thrilled to speak with them ahead of their Irish tour later this month, and learn about their relationship with Ireland among other things.
