Dubland

Dubland meets Roz Purcell and after Suzanne fawns over her, they talk a good bit about Miss Universe and Ireland's answer to it, The Rose of Tralee. They talk about weight, the psychology around weight and complimenting people on their weight. We learn about how Roz got to where she is and what she defines herself as. They tackle the big questions like, why are women obsessed with true crime? Roz lays out her case of why she would be difficult to murder. They talk about social media, its pros and cons. It's all go, enjoy the show!

The Royal Visit to the Guinness Storehouse. There's a sentence Suzanne and PJ can get into. But somehow it moves quickly to funerals, and that's the real conversation! So much better than weddings - can you guess who's opinion that is?

PJ is living in Coronavirus ground zero, so, yeah they get into a good old chinwag on that fast approaching bundle of fun. Back to the royals, English crisps, pubs and tea - all this leads up to Suzanne crying in an airport. There's fancy whiskey, which is good for beating the virus. One of the pair of them is mad into Love Is Blind, and one of them is mad into Formula 1, but can you guess which is which?

Look lads, it's Dubland, just dive in and enjoy it, yeah?

Dubland meets Baz Ashmawy... and they talk about all of Suzanne's favourite snake oil nonsense, glue blood, levitation, the whole lot. Baz's daughter is an elf, which is pretty cool. She had to change school, unfortunately, Elf school is more welcoming. Irish funerals are better than Irish weddings. Baz talks about getting back into acting, and about his new documentary with his mother. Suzanne reveals her two year rule, and her theory on chlamydia and old people. The gang discuss alcoholism, being baptised when you're a big boy or a gorgeous little girl. They get into religion, Baz's upbringing and a different view on life in Ireland. There's loads more in this episode, it's goddamn brilliant! Enjoy!

This week's Dubland starts off with a very wholesome gift giving. Very suddenly, almost without notice, it descends into an analysis of how this is the worst year of all time (and it's only February). We go through how Sinn Fein are getting on so far since their recent historic General Election. PJ has a revelation... it's not news to anyone else. There is discussion about wine, incontinence, and being prone to skidmarking. 

Then we pivot to Caroline Flack and cancel culture. It's an excellent conversation and an open look at a scourge of our modern world. 

There's a headline of the week, and other shenanigans. 

Suzanne talks about her visit to the Tommy Tiernan Show and her encounter with Roddy Doyle. 

Ohhhhhweeee, the Irish General Election... this is a doozy... no better people than the Dublanders to sort out this mess. Or like, argue between themselves and really sort nothing at all. Good craic though. PJ is in his element with this news. Suzanne has a sense of doom. 

They then move on and talk about the royal visit... again, team Dubland don't quite see eye to eye on this announcement. 

PJ generously explains to the listeners his perfect economical date. They discuss Valentine's Day. There's good detail on afternoon tea, and it's not all Suzanne. Talk about the new Bohemians jersey. Which brings it back to politics, and politics brings the conversation to bowel movements. It's Dubland folks, that's how it goes. Enjoy!

By the way, you can still buy Dubland t-shirts, which you should do!

. Suzanne and PJ help Stefanie to get over some slight nerves about being on Dubland. They then proceed to talk about politics, god, science, dick pics, a few Netflix documentaries and addictive personalities. What was Stefanie nervous about again?  She talks about all of her rules, her attempts at a normal life, her relationships. It's fascinating stuff. Dubland Meets... is off to a flying start!

Dubland gets started this week with some talk about the upcoming General Election in Ireland. Then we're onto the flicky eyes which leads to a deep dive into pulling a sicky from work. Lads go from Wayne Rooney to William Butler Yeats when describing their illness. There is some talk about what men do with banana peels, "but I'm not gonna tell ya". Suzanne hasn't watched Little Women, but she's happy to review it anyway, and she fantasises about being a cheerleader in high school. She then goes into great detail about being "beat down" (unattractive) in school. This episode has ancient social networks, dog-eaten remote controls, heartbreak and reincarnation. 

It's stone cold classic Dubland.

Dubland starts this week with some ACTION as Suzanne decorates the brand new studio with some fresh coffee. PJ commentates and then the hard sell begins - Dubland needs a sponsor! If you can help, get in touch. The serious business of the episode begins with talk of crisps and butter knives. Nobody wants to talk, that's the theory of the week, on this podcast, in which two people sit in a room and... 

It's over three weeks into the new year and PJ is still finding ways to moan about Christmas. There's an absolutely legendary Hero of The Week. 

The tractors suffer the wrath of Suzanne, despite her attempts at a positive January. The reaction to this elicits a public apology, which is just about as heartfelt as it could be.

Irish politics gets the Dubland going over. Looks lads, it's an episode of Dubland, dive in and enjoy! 

After a short review of the previous episode, Suzanne and PJ move on to discuss PJ's total lack of social life. This leads to his interaction with his good-looking neighbour. Which of course leads to talk of him moving house, and more mortgage chat, and then a mid-episode plea to a financial expert (a future episode).

Everyone in Ireland knows someone who knows someone else who lives in Ireland. This isn't the case in the UK or other big countries. Suzanne raises her fears of the countryside again (it's dark)... there's some stuff about same sex marriage in Ireland, including a Hero of the Week. There's an upcoming General Election in Ireland, of course this sets the Dublanders off.

There's a new Suzanne Kane, she doesn't give a toss, and PJ is a big fan! Oh there's also talk of a "hot" candle.

Dubland is back after the Christmas break, but PJ is not in the humour. He's done with New Year's, he's done with Christmas, he's done with all of it. Suzanne, who loves Christmas, also had a bad time of it, but at least it wasn't Christmas's fault. Suzanne shares some sad news. Then we bring the mood up by discussing the imminent arrival of World War 3.

A hat tip to three legendary Irish broadcasters. And Suzanne talks about The Crown. There's loads of good stuff in this episode folks, it's good to be back! Oh there's also a unicorn horn.
