The Price of Milk, Georgie Crawford and Another Eurofailure
•
We're baaaaack! Aoife Moore and I disucss the price of groceries and whether anything is going to be done about it, as well as what's happening in the Stardust inquest and a story that made me more angry than almost any other one we've ever discussed.
Georgie Crawford and I chat about her new book Glow, and whether you can break out of the limitations your set yourself for your life.
James O'Hagan and I question whether Euphoria could actually be filming in Ireland, as well as what went wrong with our Eurovision entry and what we think about the rumours that Patrick Kielty is the new Late Late Show host.

42:35||Season 1, Ep. 452How delightful to have regular contributor Emer McLysaght as a guest for this episode alongside her writing partner Sarah Breen. Emer and Sarah are responsible for the publishing phenomenon that is the Oh My God What a Complete Aisling books, and they've teamed up again for a new novel: Our Deadly Summer. We caught up on why they decided to stick together for this book, and why they didn't simply write another Aisling book, and the joy of writing a novel set in the heady nostalgia of the early 2000s.

Reality Catch-Up: Housewives Anthropologist and Journalist Brian Moylan
58:24||Season 1, Ep. 450The minute I started reality Fridays I knew I wanted to talk to Brian Moylan. I've been reading Brian's Housewives recaps since I was a solo viewer with no one to talk to about what I was watching, and since then his significance in the culture has only grown. Aside from the recaps he writes for Vulture and his own Substack, he authored The Housewives: The Real Story Behind the Real Housewives, worked with Erika Jayne on her book Pretty Mess, and has presented countless panels at Bravocon and similar events. If you watch the Housewives or any Bravo shows, you will love this chat.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.449. Catch Up on Music with Cian Sullivan
