Doireann and Friends

I’m writing this episode description from Spain…as smug as can be. Last time I was here if rained for 11 days (have I mentioned that) so being here in sunshine, with my Mom, is heavenly. This week I’m joined by the fabulous Vicki Notaro - best selling debut novelist of 2024 if you don’t mind! We talk reality tv, taking life leaps and lots more. Aisling Bonner is back with Doireann and Foes. It’s a gorge ep if I say so myself!

I say this at the start of the ep and I’ll say it again! Thank you so much for all of the love this season. The pod is growing and growing in listeners which means you’re liking, sharing, even loving this season! So thank you so much. This week I chat being back to the gym and being on the bridesmaid dresses hunt. I’m joined by the BEAUTIFUL (inside and out) Katja Mia and the one and only Pamela Joyce is back. This time, she’s giving us ‘Pam Readings’ where she tells us what’s in and what’s out for Summer 2024. Let me know what you think! 

Episode 4. Welcome back! I’ve been loving following Grainne Gallanagh on instagram. She has been living in Oz for just over a year working a FIFO (Fly In Fly Out) job and I needed to hear all. I strongly advice you watch her reels on Insta before listening to the episode…she rocks the uniform but the flies?! HELL. Allison Keating is back and our listener question today is about overcoming the fear of uncertainty in life. As always, Allison offers up so much help. Would love to know your thoughts on the episode - email us, doireannandfriends@gmail.com 

June glorious June. Time for a brand new start and I’m so excited. Another Doireann and Friends OG is back and this time, it’s my fabulous sister Ailbhe! We talk wedding planning and Ailbhe’s dos and don’ts (if my sister can’t tell it to me straight, who can?!). Hairstylist to the stars (Mariah, Adele, Kim…as you do) Andrew Fitzsimons talks to me about his life in LA and styling the hair of some of the most famous people in the world.

Welcome back! THANK YOU for the love last week. It’s so good to be back in the swing of podcasting. Time for Episode 2, woo! Charleen Murphy is my friend this week. What a gorgeous gal, in every sense of the word. We chatted about influencing, TikTok hate, victim blaming and so much more. Our resident girlo Aisling Bonner joins me and proposes the concept of Doireann and Foes. I think you’ll enjoy! 

I am so excited for this new season of Doireann and Friends! Old friends, new friends, new set…it’s all happening. Pam is back and because we haven't had a proper catch up in ages, there was quite a lot to get through. I wanted to hear about her first couple holiday and she wanted to hear about how Mark managed to surprise me with his proposal (I don’t actually know if she wanted to hear but I told her anyway)... And there was still time for a catch up with Laughs of Your Life alumni, and the true icon that is Trinny Woodall!

Donncha’s back (by, genuinely, popular demand). With the men’s Rugby World Cup on the horizon, he gave us some useful conversation starters tailor-made for those jumping on the rugby bandwagon. We’ve all done it!And Eugene Garrihy joins us to chat about his recent BBQ emergency, the unique magic of the Irish pub and his much sought after views of the world. I’m convinced he’s waited this long so he could say, ‘Well, you left the best to last, Doireann’. 😂 We certainly did, Euge!Doireann and Friends is brought to you by F&F Fashion at Tesco.
