Not Without My Sister

On Holiday Romances (or Lack Thereof)

Ep. 3
We've always quite fancied the idea of a holiday romance – blame Shirley Valentine (Beatrice's era) or Bliss magazine (Rosemary's) – but the reality has never *quite* stacked up to the fantasy.Join us as we chat about chasing after boys in foreign countries, the true pitfalls of wearing tearaway tracksuit bottoms to the céilí and why you should never trust a man who pursues you on the ferry.***Not Without My Sister is presented by sisters Beatrice Mac Cabe and Rosemary Mac Cabe, in Fort Wayne, Indiana. Editing is by Liam Geraghty. Sound editing and original music by Don Kirkland. Original illustration by Lindsay Neilson.Not Without My Sister is a production of The Warren.
