  • Season 5, Episode 14: Domhnall Nugent: Antrim hurler on fighting back against drink and drug addiction

    Just two years before winning the Joe McDonagh Cup final, Antrim Hurler Domhnall Nugent had been on the streets battling an addiction to alcohol.

    Domhnall was just 20 years old and living out of a rucksack, having spent every penny he had on the addiction that had brought him to rock bottom, where he was left to feel that his life was no longer worth living. After realising the devastation that his addiction was causing to his loved ones, Domhnall decided to turn his life around and checked himself into a rehab facility.

    Life came full circle when he began a new role as an addiction facilitator at Cuan Mhuire, three years after walking through those same doors at his lowest ebb. And then there’s Let’s Face It.

    What started out as a shot to nothing podcast has evolved into something much more meaningful, to him and to those who have benefitted from conversations with guests from all walks of life.

    Talking saved him, and he believes it can do the same for others.

  • Season 5, Episode 13: Kevin On Coming out as Gay in Ireland

    Kevin Penrose is probably better known online as the Wild Irish Wanderer. A few years ago he decided to take his love for travel and hiking to a new level, a move that has changed his life and career- though he never expected it would reach so many people.


    But there is much more to Kevin's story than we know. Kevin has carried a heavy weight on his shoulders all of his life. A much harder challenge to face than any mountain he ever climbed. Kevin was afraid to admit he was gay.
    He was worried he would be met with ridicule, and feared the stigma of being a gay man in Ireland would result in  loss his team mates in GAA, and much more.

    Kevin's story is powerful and it will help so many.

  • Season 5, Episode 12: Ella Vaday RuPaul's Drag Race

    Nick first, he left home at 16 to try and build a career as a performer.....he did almost every job possible as part of that journey but then did become a performer on London's West End stage starring in musicals including Book of Mormon, Cats, Fame, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Peter Pan, and Wicked. However, during the pandemic he also took a supermarket job to make ends meet, and during that time, he started experimenting with drag....and very quickly ended up appearing on RuPaul's Drag Race UK as Ella Vaday where he finished as runner up. So Nick's all about perserverance, and not being afraid to try new things. Personally, his mum has twice had cancer which has had a big impact on him, she's recovering now for a second time and he is doing a 100km CoppaFeel trek in June to raise money and awareness of breast cancer.
