The Limerick Lady PodcastThe Limerick Lady Podcast2 minute thought on 10th Anniversary of Marriage EqualityOn the 22nd of May 2015, Ireland became the first country in the world to legalise Marriage Equality by popular vote.

Ann briefly reflects on how conversations and openness were what won the campaign. Let's be sure to keep talking and listening. Ann will be performing her show, The Morning After The Life Before (@morningafterlb on Insta), in Dance Limerick on Saturday the 24th of May at 8pm.  2025-05-2202 minThe HR Lady, PodcastThe HR Lady, PodcastThe HR Lady Award Winning Podcast: Accountability, Credits Now Available, Merger with HR EmpowermentJoin Wendy Sellers and JC as they celebrate a major achievement in podcasting – multiple awards!

And lots more besides. This podcast is a look at the ideological and practical feminist issues of 2024, and what we hope we won't have to keep talking about next year.   The Limerick Lady is a grassroots movement ba...2024-12-191h 04The Limerick Lady PodcastThe Limerick Lady PodcastThe Limerick Lady 70: Opera Workshop and Limerick's "Banned" AuthorWhat happens when your books, for all the right reasons, are banned? Well sometimes the controversy just drives demand; unfortunately it also often means the author's name is all-but-lost to the mists of time, and relegated to the back of the collective mind. Such was the case for Limerick's own Kate O'Brien whose 50th anniversary we mark in 2024. O'Brien had two books "Mary Lavelle" and "Land of Spices" banned in Ireland, and she herself was banned from Spain, for expressing some very progressive ideas around politics, women's liberation, and sexual identity.  On this month's episode w...2024-11-2153 minThe Limerick Lady PodcastThe Limerick Lady PodcastThe Limerick Lady 69: Sex-Positivity and Entrepreneurship with Shawna Scott, Sex SiopaCome one, come all!

We touch on topics like the Síle-Na-Gig, Eurovision, the Irish artists' SXSW boycott, RTÉ's handling of censorship around activism, and the vulnerability of artists taking any kind of socio-political stance; And there's a belated little International Women's Day message!
