  • The Podcast of Podcasts

    Apotheosis of podcasting - as an avid listener of so many, Blindboy hits that sweet spot: deep dives, intellectualism, lyricism, a feast for the senses, and hilarious. I’m educated and calmed in equal measure. The focus on art, culture, psychology, and mental health whilst keeping alive the Irish Seanchaí tradition is perfection. And then I found Blindboy Burlesque on insta which confirmed his cult status. Blindboy is a polymath and modern-day Renaissance man. Genius.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Catherine Connoly
Q: Why do you want to be president of Ireland?
Because I feel we're at a crucial point in our history, where peace has become an unacceptable word, and we have normalized war and genocide.
Catherine Connoly
Q: Do you ever draw upon your background in clinical psychology with the job that you do as a politician or what you might want to bring to the presidency?
Absolutely, but I'd say that I learned empathy on the floor of my house at home with 14 siblings.
Words for Artists
Q: What advice do you have for somebody who wants to become an artist?
The advice includes trying to fail intentionally to free oneself from the fear of failure, embracing vulnerability and being cringe while expressing creativity, and promoting oneself unapologetically in pursuit of artistic success.
The Science of Happiness with an expert Psychologist
Q: How do you encourage critical thinking on a societal level?
It's essential to pay attention to the narratives and stories we are consuming; they are rapidly accessible and controlled in a way that diminishes critical thinking.
What the history of Onions can tell us about Trumps tariff war
Q: Can you speak about the history of onions?
The host discusses the historical significance of onions, particularly how Breton onion farmers, known as Onion Johnnies, historically sold their onions across the English Channel, and how this ties into modern trade practices and Donald Trump's tariffs.
