  • Great insights!

    That was a fabulous interview with Amanda Knox. She shares really helpful wisdom there that I personally really needed. And such kindness always from Róisín Ingle! I’ve been a fan of Róisín for over a decade. Two warm, intelligent, strong and generous women. Thank you!

  • Thank you

    For an Irish person living overseas this podcast is just fantastic. I am transported back home to a good afternoon with my girlfriends, and for that, thank you. I have learned so much since I started listening not to mention the new list of book recommendations that I’m eager to get through. I’m thrilled to have found The Women’s Podcast.

  • Let the guests speak

    I used to love this podcast, but Roisin’s constant interrupting & talking over guests is annoying.

  • Love this pod,but…

    I adore this podcast but giving a platform to someone claiming to be a nutritionist (she’s not) and who trots around supermarkets demonising food and spouting rehashed nonsense about additives, all the while selling an online ‘course’ was a disappointing turn of events for this show. Don’t judge this pod on that one show, it’s usually excellent!
