This is a long episode but there really was so much to discuss. Emer McLysaght is our shepherd through this week's entertainment stories and they are beefy. Having just returned from the final gig of Taylor Swift's final stop on the European leg of the eras tour, she had a lot to say on that, and we obviously had to get into the Oasis reunion (with a special audio note from Sarah Breen, probably Ireland's biggest Oasis fan). We also discuss Chappell Roan's refusal to accept stalking and harrassment as part of her job, Lily Allen's doggy drama and lots more besides.

    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

Stephanie and Sarah are just back from LA, where they made it to the quarter finals of American Idol, and I loved catching up with them on their experience there.

    Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!The Hope and Courage Collective was set up in 2021 to supporting and empower communities to take action against hate, bigotry and extremism. As this is something I know many of us have been struggling with, I thought it would be helpful to learn about the ways the organisation is taking action to ensure hatemongers don't take hold of our society. This week I spoke to Niamh McDonald, Director of Advocacy and Community Engagement at the Hope and Courage Collective, and I learned a lot.Here are the links Niamh mentioned during our conversation:Messaging guidance  Newsletter sign upInformation on social media demandsTo 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.
