Doireann and Friends

Turning into my mom, Vicki Notaro, and Doireann and Foes is back

Season 2, Ep. 6

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!

  • 2. Malice or ignorance? And pivoting & dating with Trisha Lewis

    34:23||Season 3, Ep. 2
    Welcome back. We go again! Thank you for the feedback to last week's episode. It is so good to be podcasting again and your messages make it all the better. This week I am joined by Trisha Lewis - aka @trishastransformation on social media. I just love chatting to her. Every time I meet her, she is even more honest, raw and hilarious than the last time. Her episode of The Laughs of your Life podcast is one of my favourites of all time (if you haven't listened to that and need a HOWL, I highly recommend). Four and a half years on, so much has changed for Trisha, from career leaps to camino triumphs and venturing into the world of dating. I hope you enjoy the chat!

We chat all about the rollercoaster that is pregnancy, how mad it is to be doing it together, hospital hiccups, newborn ups and downs, the inevitable Mom guilt and so much more.

  • 12. Season Finale with my Mom

    30:21||Season 2, Ep. 12
    It's the Season 2 Finale! Thank you, sincerely, for all of the love this season. It means so much. I thought it would be nice to wrap it up with a chat with my Mom, Clare. We had the loveliest trip to Spain recently and I managed to twist her arm into coming back on the podcast (she was a nervous wreck last year!). I hope you enjoy. Catch you when The Laughs Of Your Life returns this September!

    37:50||Season 2, Ep. 10
    As I type this, Bonjour! A European adventure has commenced for Mark and I but it’s biz as usual for Doireann and Friends. It was a joy to catch up with the legend that is Dermot Whelan for this week’s episode. He is just a hilarious, humble, happy human! I think there is so much to gain from listening to him, and know you’ll love it. The icon that is Pamela Joyce brings us her final Pam Readings of the season. Enjoy x

    We’re 3/4s of the way there! HOW?! This season is flying which can only be a good sign. On this week’s episode I chat about the 3 things that drove me mad this week. I know, a Monday rant is a negative start but I needed this vent! The fabulous Samantha Barry joins me to update me on all things Glamour (yes, a capital G) in NYC including her apartment purchase and her Met Gala insider info. Aisling Bonner is back and calls for an Emergency General Meeting, as only she could. Enjoy!

  • 7. My basic bitch holiday tips, Clem’s top tier styling tips and jealous “friends”

    31:18||Season 2, Ep. 7
    My love for a Spanish pharmacy knows no bounds. It’s a niche topic, I know, but I’ve fallen hard for them since last week. Also if you’re heading away this Summer, I have some tips for you at the start of this week’s ep! Clémentine MacNeice talks all things styling; her love for it, how she got into it and what we should all do to look our very best. Allison Keating is back to answer a listener question around the topic of jealousy amongst friends. Enjoy!
