A Pint With Seaniebee

HALLOWEEN PODCAST SPOOKTACULAR

The Don & Seaniebee launch their new climate change initiative - The CowNappy™ - they talk Squidgame, domestic violence, homosexuality in the Catholic Church, and round the pod off on the rather grim subject of bullying. (But don't worry, there are still a few chuckles along the way).

In the wake of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, The Don and Seaniebee discuss mankind's obsession with and susceptibility to conspiracy theories and the recent resurgence in UFOs, following revelations from the US Government...which of course quite naturally lead them down the rabbit hole of Marian Apparitions and moving statues...

It's a very strange podcast indeed...

Join The Don and Seaniebee as they navigate the road to perdition. From identity politics to climate collapse through viral pandemics, Afghanistan and Haiti; how should one proceed to live one's life in the face of some much trouble in the world?

[CORRECTION: in the podcast we claim that livestock contributes to 70% of Ireland's GHGs. In fact, agriculture contributes roughly 30%, with livestock considered to be responsible for 70% of that].

Seaniebee and The Don invite you to join them on their alcoholiers, as they travel through disease riddled Ireland for Seanie’s birthday. They talk football, as England tries once again to make it come home, and all the attendant thuggish nastiness that entails. They also discuss Terry Wogan, Pope JP2, Richard Harris, Frank McCourt, Sophie Toscain Du Plantier, “Miggledee”, Barack Obama, the climate crisis, weed and why rhino horns may be the thing to invest in if you fancy making a cool million.

Best-selling author and futurist, Richard Watson returns to the pod to discuss the aftermath of the pandemic: will we change the way we live our lives? Will Trump return? What happens to the UK? Plus aliens, the gender wars, pet lambs and why Greece may just be the remedy for all that ails us.

March 20th 2021 saw the sad passing of Seaniebee's dad, the legendary Irish ventriloquist George Boyle.

May he rest in peace.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Seoirse & Gerald have a pint with Seaniebee

Seaniebee’s father has been one of Ireland’s pre-eminent ventriloquists for the past six decades. On the occasion of his 82nd birthday, Seoirse (George Boyle) joins the pod with his sidekick Gerald to share their adventure stories down the years. We discuss what it was like growing up in Dublin during the War and how his love for ventriloquism bloomed, as he made his fist dummies from papier-mâché and daub. Seoirse and Gerald represented Ireland and reached the final on The Original Gong Show with Ted Mack, and were the opening act when Ireland’s TV station RTE launched in 1961. George dovetailed his ventriloquism with a successful career in engineering and shares his wisdom on the current state of the world and ideas on how we might get back on course.

Oh, and we mostly discuss how amazing it must feel to have fathered Seaniebee!

Seaniebee & The Don "celebrate" the first birthday of COVID and also chat Britney, Lent and Sinead O'Connor. The Don also unveils number 1 in her Top 20 Countdown (which we won't spoil for ya!)

Released: February 18th 2021

Runtime: 127m

Recorded: Dublin (Chiswick)

What with the sentencing of the Irishmen responsible for the deaths of 39 Vietnamese immigrants; the appalling travesty of the Mother & Baby homes report; and the country's bumbling, greed-centric approach to COVID19 and vaccinations...the Don and Seaniebee ask whether there's ever been a worse time to be ashamed of being from Ireland.

They also give Donald Trump a fond fare-thee-well and The Don reaches number 2 in her 'Best of' countdown.

GEORGE BOYLE HAS A PINT WITH SEANIEBEE

To celebrate the somewhat surprising milestone of the fiftieth episode, Seaniebee is joined on the pod today by his architect sister, George, who shares the story behind the launch of The Fumbally Exchange (a not-for-profit movement of creative and innovative professionals who share co-working spaces). Like many others in the country, George and her husband lost their jobs during the Irish economic meltdown. What follows is an inspiring tale about a bunch of folks pulling themselves up by the bootstraps, overcoming red tape, government apathy and general crap and adversity to create a shining beacon of what can be achieved when we collectively put our minds to it.
