  • New addition to my podcast diet

    This is a relatively recent addition to my routine podcast listening and am really a big fan now...can the podcast fans have a nickname à la the Swifties? ...the Aggies?...

    I had no idea about the long-standing friendship between Niamh and Gearóid. But you can tell they've been pals for yonks. The chats and the laughs are genuine but always with a bit of sardonic spice. Gearóid gives the sharp comic edge while Niamh adds her beautiful humorous warmth. This is a match made in podcast heaven :)... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

227: Not Quite Neighbours
Q: How do I address problematic behavior at a wedding without damaging the friendship?
Address it with a light, direct approach, perhaps a jokey reminder later, and avoid piling on. If they're truly remorseful, a gentle acknowledgment and moving forward is best.
227: Not Quite Neighbours
Q: What should I do if a friend in conversation keeps talking about themselves and doesn't let me share?
Recognize it's a two-way street; set explicit boundaries, prompt for balance, and use a quick reset to shift the focus back. If needed, suggest taking turns or directly inviting space for your own stories.
219: Even Stephens
Q: What should I do about my partner's illegal activities?
Evaluate your values and decide how to address the situation, considering the potential impact on personal and family relationships.
217: Scissors and Buckets
Q: Am I being completely selfish? Will he forgive me if I refuse to have children?
You need to have an honest discussion with your partner about your feelings regarding children and the impact of your mother's passing on your perspective.
217: Scissors and Buckets
Q: How do I say I don't like him and he needs to stop being a self-righteous arsehole without upsetting him?
It's okay to not always like your kids, but you need to separate your feelings towards your son from your past relationship with his father.
