2. EPISODE DESCRIPTION (house style)

Welcome back to Class or Pass, the podcast where comedian Emer Maguire decides what in modern life is class… and what is an absolute pass.

We're still broadcasting from Hive Co-Working in Strabane (we're getting attached — to the studio and to Conor), and this week we're finally recapping Greece.

In this episode we tackle some very important societal questions:

🎢 Queue skipping — a ruthless bit of efficiency… or the rudest thing a perfectly fit, able-bodied adult can do on holiday (yes, we're looking at the 60-plus brigade)??

✈️ Emer's surprise 40th-birthday-month trip to Rhodes — a grand romantic gesture… or a ChatGPT-assisted campaign of lies so convincing Sam had Googled the flights to Glasgow??

🦎 A Greek animal sanctuary where affectionate lemurs climb all over you while an Australian handler warns the mother will send you to hospital — a dream come true… or a stitches-adjacent hazard??

📞 We also hear from listeners with their own queue-rage stories — including Emer's sister Kitty (pram-blocking pensioners at the hotel lift), Laura (a full stand-off with an old man in Lidl), AT (an almost-brawl in the Vatican toilets), and Jane, who sailed past everyone at an Ed Sheeran gig by pretending she was headed for Smyths Toy Superstore.

Expect strong opinions, questionable logic, and the occasional rant.

Welcome back to Class or Pass, the podcast where comedian Emer Maguire decides what in modern life is class… and what is an absolute pass.

In this episode we tackle some very important societal questions:

🎂 Celebrating your birthday for a whole week — or a whole month — instead of a single day: everyone deserves their moment in the sun… or an exhausting racket for the friends dragged to four separate events??

🎈 Going all out for a milestone — Emer recaps the month-long, Donegal-house-hiring, tear-jerker-video 40th she threw for Sam: the gold standard of romantic gestures… or an impossible bar she now has to clear for the rest of her life??

🧴 A vanilla lip balm clipped to a carabiner and a matching pair of Dickies overalls: peak lesbian accessorising… or a quiet cry for help??

📞 We also hear from you all on the great birthday-month debate — including Janet, who keeps her cards up all month; Eden, who's been telling everyone she's 29 until she finally gets a 30th party; Fiona, a child of divorce who had two Christmases and a "birthday week mindset"; and Lara, making up for a partner who was raised a Jehovah's Witness and never had a birthday at all.

Expect strong opinions, questionable logic, and the occasional rant.

Welcome back to Class or Pass, the podcast where comedian Emer Maguire decides what in modern life is class… and what is an absolute pass.

Big changes this week: we've been flooded out of our usual studio (RIP, water-damaged walls) so we've packed up and set up shop in Hive Co-Working in Strabane — which means, for the very first time, Camera Samera is actually ON camera.

In this episode we tackle some very important societal questions:

💘 Speed dating — a charming, efficient way to meet your future spouse in four minutes… or a nightmare?

🎥 Camera Samera stepping out from behind the lens — a glow-up for the show… or should we blur her face and give her a voice changer??

💉 Emer getting steroid injections into both carpal-tunnelled wrists — brave, suffering musician… or the world's biggest drama queen?

📞 We also hear from listeners with their own speed-dating tales — including Kim's introverted hard no, Ciara getting drink-shamed and called a "fat slob" by a tiny little man, and Sinead, who met her husband at a Belfast speed-dating night and is now married with two kids and a forever home. Plus the man who once told Sam she had "horsey features"… and genuinely tried to pass it off as a compliment.

Expect strong opinions, questionable logic, and the occasional rant.

Welcome back to Class or Pass, the podcast where comedian Emer Maguire decides what in modern life is class… and what is an absolute pass. 

In this episode we tackle some very important societal questions: 

💆 Couples massages with strangers — a relaxing little treat… or did we accidentally book in for something a lot more sensual than advertised?? 

👯 Meeting your doppelgänger — a fascinating biological coincidence… or a deeply unsettling glimpse into a parallel-universe version of yourself?? 

🩳 Travelling to another country to go to Primark when there's one 15 minutes from your house — committed to the bit… or have we completely lost the run of ourselves?? 

📞 We also hear from listeners with their own doppelgänger stories, including a taxi face-off, a woman pulled by the hood in a corner shop, and one VERY angry voice note from Megan. 

Expect strong opinions, questionable logic, and the occasional rant.
