From the People’s Republic of Cork to the United States of America, this year Stephanie Rainey took a chance and stepped onto one of the world’s biggest stages. Her audition on America’s Got Talent got her ‘4000 yesses’ from Simon Cowell and she made it all the way to the quarter finals of the show. Sadly, that is where her AGT journey ended. But even though she didn’t win overall, being on the programme has opened up a worldwide audience to the Glanmire native. 

In this conversation Stephanie shared with Brenda and Julie what it was like growing up in Cork, the real life tragedy that inspired her viral song Please Don’t Go and accidentally lying to Sofia Vergara about her age.

Some of you would have seen a lot of our guest Liam Walsh this week at our sold out show in September. In the Opera House, he went by his stripper name Frankie but strip away his stage name and there’s a very real person underneath. 

In this interview Liam shares what it was like growing up on a council estate in Ballybeg in County Waterford and getting into trouble from a young age. Between the ages of 17 and 28 Liam was in and out of prison and detention amassing 89 convictions in total. He was caught in a seemingly endless cycle of addiction and bad choices until one day, Liam decided to change his life. Far from living a quiet life though, Liam has continued to live out loud and has stories that would make your hair curl - from swinging, to wild encounters on the job, this man has lived! We hope you enjoy.

P.S Headphones in for this one - it’s strictly over 18s only!
