This week I was delighted to catch up with Shaquira Knightly and Naomi Diamond, two thirds of Haus of Wig. Haus of Wig, billed as Ireland's fiercest & most formidable drag haus, are responsible for some of my favourite drag performances of recent times and they are taking over The Gate Theatre on June 21st as part of Dublin Pride. I was delighted to catch up with them about what we can expect from that night, how they came to drag, their gorgeous friendship, supporting Chappell Roan and lots more.

Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!I was delighted when I got the opportunity to speak to Ruesha Littlejohn, who is a longstanding member of Ireland's Women's National Football Team and is currently also playing for Shamrock Rovers in the Women's Premier Division here in Ireland. Ruesha has made a name for herself online across multiple podcasts and her much loved YouTube channel RuTube, as well as generally being a gas ticket. I really enjoyed catching up with her about what made her come to play in the Irish league, what she's gotten from her career so far, and the growing interest in the personal lives of female football players.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.Join us in Connolly's of Leap on July 17th!
