Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!

Lots to discuss this week as the all female commercial space rocket launched and the behaviour around it was totally ludicrous. Obviously there was also lots of Coachella chaos to discuss and the madness of Celebrity Big Brother. Fortunately, Esther O'Moore Donohoe was here to take us through the stories.

April 11, 2025 Catch Up on Foster Care with Eithne Larkin of Origins Foster Care
Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!

As we discuss regularly in the news episode, there are lots of children in Ireland being let down by various systems and some of those children need a safe and caring home. That's where the foster care system comes in. Unfortunately there is a major shortage of foster carers in Ireland at the moment, so today I'm bringing you a chat with Eithne Larkin, Recruitment Lead with Origins Foster Care. Eithne has also been a foster carer herself for 23 years, so she is perfectly positioned to give us an idea of what kind of people make a good foster carer, and the impact it has on the lives of both the children and the carers. I found this conversation incredibly enlightening and moving, and I hope you do too.

If you're interested in continuing the conversation, you can contact Origins Foster Care here, or contact Eithne on 0870529749.

April 04, 2025 Catch Up with Candace Bushnell (Yes, Sex and the City Candace Bushnell)
Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!

SCREAM! It's actual Candace Bushnell! Candace is bringing her one woman show True Tales of Sex, Success and Sex and The City to the Olympia Theatre on May 15th. Ahead of the show, I caught up with her this week to chat Sex and the City, the changing media landscape, ageism, relationships and more. Technology was not on our side today - we had to contend with a delay on the line and some dodgy robot noises. I've edited most of it out, but please excuse moments of crossover.
