Independent TD, Michael Healy Rae, a man who I’ve realized lives off about 2 hours of sleep, took the time out of his hectic schedule to have a little chat with me. Outside of the obvious roles that being a TD entails, he talks about the sides we don’t see and the parts that have stuck with him for life like talking a man out of committing suicide over the phone.2022-03-311h 09Not a Single BotherNot a Single BotherEpisode 39 - Cancer Doesn't Discriminate with Martine DinesOn this weeks episode, I've been chatting with the inspirational, Martine Dines.

Mark Murphy and Barry BurkeOn this episode of the podcast I chat with two friends, Mark and Barry, about their experiences with growing up gay in Ireland. In a country that considered homosexuality to be a crime until 1993, just one year before they were born, it’s no surprise that they faced different difficulties when growing up and coming to terms with their sexuality. Catholicism and rural Ireland are two of the factors we discuss but the lads are so positive and will definitely be a shining light for anyone who is struggling with their sexuality.
