  Catch Up with Lindsay and Bobby from Who Weekly? (!!) 18.09.2026 58min

  Guys, this week I got to interview the hosts of my favourite podcast Who Weekly? Lindsay Weber and Bobby Finger are my go-to voices on pop culture, celebrity and its interaction with the media and society. They make me laugh with every episode, and I feel incredibly lucky to be a Wholigan (thanks for bringing me in Emer McLysaght.) Lindsay and Bobby's book, I Want to Be Famous: When Everybody and Nobody is a Celebrity, explores fame and its interaction with society beautifully. I devoured it, and I know you will too when it comes out on September 29.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here. Hosted on Acast.

  Catch Up with Roisin Kiberd 04.09.2026 53min

  When I heard that Irish writer and creative writing lecturer Roisin Kiberd had written a book of essays on beauty, I knew I had to read it. Once I'd read it, I knew I had to chat to her about it, so that's what you're going to hear today. The Most Normal Woman explores Roisin's relationship with beauty, beauty ideals, beauty niches and beauty standards and I absolutely loved it.
