This week, in the last of the OG format episodes, Carl Kinsella and I chat through the horrors of what's happened in Gaza this week as well as this week's conversation about respect for the irish language, kicked off by the 6 O'Clock Show. I chat to menstruation coach Lisa de Jong about what we can do to know more about our cycles and to feel more empowered within it. Then Cassie Delaney and I talk Superbowl madness and I give a full on lecture on Beyonce and what she's doing with country music.

I promised you a recording of a conversation I had with David Nicholls on Monday night at ILDF, but unfortunately that recording appears to have been lost. I'm devo - there was a technical issue during the chat where our microphones went out and apparently what actually had happened was that the sound desk shut down and the recording was deleted. Gutting, to say the least. Fortunately, I was planning on bringing you a recording of my chat with Pillow Queens from my most recent live show anyway, so it just moved up the schedule a little. I hope you enjoy.

The European election is coming up and there are ONE HUNDRED MILLION CANDIDATES* and it can all be a little confusing so I got the brilliant Sinead O'Carroll, editor of TheJournal.ie, back to help. She explains why our vote is so important, how to get basic info about the candidates and how to use your vote most effectively. This episode isn't about telling you who to vote for, rather making sure you feel empowered to use your vote in the best way for you.
