This week's Catch Up is with Ali Dunworth, food writer and author of A Compendium of Irish Pints: The Culture, Customs and Craic. We chat about her career in food including her years working on programmes like Saturday Kitchen, Nigella and Market Kitchen, and then we get into the magic of pints! I really enjoyed this conversation and I think you will too.

It feels a little weird to talk about the fluff and frippery of the world of entertainment in the context of what's happening in Rafah but this is the entertainment episode so that's what Cian Sullivan and I did. We discussed the Met Gala, the Kendrick vs. Drake hip hop beef, Jeff Goldblum's children's inheritance, and the mysterious allure of non-famous celebrity magnets like Derek Blasberg.

This week I asked you for your skin-related questions and they flooded in. I put as many of them as I could to Professor Caitriona Ryan, consultant dermatologist and expert in both cosmetic and medical dermatology at the Institute of Dermatologists. I learned loads and I hope you do too!

Many of you sent me the recent research by DCU's Anti-Bullying Centre which shone a light on the way anti-feminist, misogynistic content ends up on young men's social media fees. I really wanted to hear more about the research and to learn more about the origins of this kind of content as well as what we can do to help the boys in our life falling prey to it, so I was delighted to chat to lead researcher Dr. Catherine Baker of DCU's Anti-Bullying Centre.

We chat about the IFTAs, Taylor Swift's Matty Healy takedown, and, unfortunately, some truly gross sexism and misogyny. Light and shade, wha?

You may have heard people talking about this week's RTE Investigates documentary on the fact that many Irish people are still being forced to travel to access abortion services. The issues raised are really troubling, and it seems that many people weren't aware of the awful circumstances in which people still find themselves in around pregnancy in this country. This week I caught up with Annie Tidbury, Service Manager of the Abortion Support Network, a volunteer-run service which assists people in accessing abortion. Sadly, Ireland is still in the top two countries they hear from. We talked about why there are still barriers and what we can do to make change.
