It feels a little weird to talk about the fluff and frippery of the world of entertainment in the context of what's happening in Rafah but this is the entertainment episode so that's what Cian Sullivan and I did. We discussed the Met Gala, the Kendrick vs. Drake hip hop beef, Jeff Goldblum's children's inheritance, and the mysterious allure of non-famous celebrity magnets like Derek Blasberg.


Tickets for the live show in the Laughter Lounge on May 29th are available here!

    Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!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.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes join our community on Patreon.

  • 142. Catch Up with Pillow Queens

    39:52
    Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!I promised you a recording of a conversation I had with David Nicholls on Monday night at ILDF, but unfortunately that recording appears to have been lost. I'm devo - there was a technical issue during the chat where our microphones went out and apparently what actually had happened was that the sound desk shut down and the recording was deleted. Gutting, to say the least. Fortunately, I was planning on bringing you a recording of my chat with Pillow Queens from my most recent live show anyway, so it just moved up the schedule a little. I hope you enjoy.Get tickets to see Pillow Queens in the Iveagh Gardens here!To support the podcast and access bonus episodes join our community on Patreon.
