You know Gavan Reilly as one of Ireland's leading news journalists, whether it's via his reporting for Virgin Media or through his podcast with Richard Chambers and Zara King, The Group Chat. Now, he's released a book which seeks to demystify what goes on in Leinster House, and I was delighted to chat with him last week ahead of the launch.

You may be familiar with Sarah Corbett Lynch from her best-selling book A Time for Truth: My Father Jason and the Search for Justice and Healing, or you may have followed the extensive coverage of the court case around her father's death, or perhaps you've watched the new Netflix documentary A Deadly American Marriage which also looks at the circumstances surrounding her father's death. The story has been told, well. This conversation with Sarah doesn't focus extensively on the night that traumatic incident happened, but more on Sarah herself, how she is, and what her experience of being at the centre of all of this has been like. I found her to be incredibly impressive - centred, articulate and warm. I think you will too.

What a pleasure to chat to Shane Daniel Byrne this week ahead of the launch of his new podcast which looks back at the journey towards the marriage equality referendum which was won ten years ago this month. We discuss the podcast and lots more, including his performance origin story, nerves, and his time shooting a new series for RTE. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the conversation!
