    I absolutely love this podcast. The dynamic between Niamh and Gearóid is amazing. Whether you like problems to be resolved in a kind pragmatic way or if you’re partial to a bit of petty (and not so petty!) revenge this podcast has something for you! I genuinely laugh out loud while listening, as opposed to just thinking “that’s funny” in my head which is most often the case. So if you haven’t listened yet, do yourself a favour and listen NOW
