In Their Shoes by Seanchoiche

For our first ever live episode, recorded at Dublin Fringe Festival in Smock Alley Theatre, Gaff and Becks are joined by writer and cultural commentator Fionnuala Jay, and performer and playwright Padraig Wilson McCarthy.Together, they explore the theme of childhood. They speak to the moments that make us, the people we carry with us and the stories we return to when we try to understand who we are. There’s laughter, honesty, and that special kind of nostalgia that only comes when a room full of people who together are brought back to their own memories through the guest's live conversations.
