Episode 19 | Supporting Queer Creatives with Rosie O’Mahony

Season 2, Ep. 19

It’s a new week and a brand-new episode of Queeriosity! This time we’re joined by artist Rosie O’Mahony, who shares how we can support local queer artists in the run-up to Christmas.


Ally Ryan is finally back from Japan and is spilling all the cultural tea, the chaos and everything in between.


We also dive into the big queer news stories of the week: the controversial SpunOut “move back in” discussion, the closure of Ireland’s National Gender Service waiting list and the bizarre case of the Irish postman charged with a hate crime after kicking a Pride Gnome.


Tune in for art, outrage and a little festive queer cheer.
