Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!I was delighted to catch up with Tony Cantwell this week. He has created a new comedy series for RTE Player called Good Boy, which is based on his own experience of getting a late diagnosis of ADHD. I really loved the four-part-series, which features a who's who of contemporary Irish comedy and I think you will too. It launches next week on October 16th.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes (including my brand new monthly tv/movies/whatever you're having yourself episode with Emer) join our community on Patreon.Theme Song: HowDoILook, Pillow Queens
