Emer McLysaght joins me this week to discuss the stories gifted to us by the world of showbusiness. Jedward are having absolutely none of Louis Walsh's nastiness, there are rumours about a Paul Mescal/Ayo Edebiri romance, Lindsay Lohan is BACK BABY and several other very pleasing stories for those of us who came of age in the 2000s.
Additionally, there's a live show announcement! Come and see us in the Laughter Lounge on May 9th! Tickets are on sale now. I will do my VERY best to show you a real good time, pals.

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.
You can find The Journal's European election resource here.

There's loads to talk about in the news this week. Carl Kinsella and I discuss the horrors taking place in Rafah, the controversial events at Eurovision, Darkness into Light and the fact that we're not at all bitter about missing the Northern Lights.

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.
