Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep14: Niamh's Secret Phone Notes / Oklahoma storm chasing, shooting boygenius, queer representation
Q: For people who don't know Boygenius, can you give context to their band and the members?
Niamh explains Boygenius as a very gay, highly influential trio consisting of Phoebe Bridgers, Julian Baker, and Lucy Dacus, highlighting their impact and the emotional resonance they have for her as an admirer.
Ep 11: Oisín's Secret Phone Notes / Cycling around the world, 4297 notes, where's home?
Q: When would you say you feel most alive?
Going downhill or being in the middle of nowhere where you can pause, reflect, and appreciate the moment, especially after earning a long climb.
Ep 7: Katie's Secret Phone Notes / Train windows, a terrorist-turned-kindergarten teacher, our tattoo stories
Q: What role did your street photography lesson with John Free play in your artistic development?
The lesson taught Katie to look for juxtapositions and to build a story first, using two interacting elements to make a photograph meaningful, which she then applies across her train series and film work.
Ep 7: Katie's Secret Phone Notes / Train windows, a terrorist-turned-kindergarten teacher, our tattoo stories
Q: How did your train-window project begin and why trains specifically?
It started from a fascination with windows looking out at landscapes and urban scenes; trains offer a unique, repeated route with predictable lines that enable a consistent frame, and the window acts as a natural, enduring boundary for storytelling.
Ep 6: Mathieu's Secret Phone Notes / Fake gay jobs, Spanish insults, wine and whiskey lore
Q: What do you actually do for a living?
I'm an influencer and celebrity marketing professional who coordinates collaborations across multiple countries, focusing on celebrity partnerships and brand representation.
