  • 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

    Consistently brilliant, especially when Gearóid is in a towering inferno of rage and advocating for boiling cups of tea to be thrown in people’s faces.
