Today, you’ll meet Suzanne Kane, whose voice you might know from the very popular Dubland podcast, and her years as a DJ on a well-known Irish radio station. You might also have seen her on TV3, where she’s a regular contributor at the weekend.

Now 37, Suzanne has lived all her life in Dublin and lives here still with her husband and two young kids. She explains why Dublin has SUCH a special place in her heart and I must say, she picks one of the best “favourite Dublin words” we’ve had so far.

I knew Suzanne would be a great guest for HODCast because she’s written openly about so many important events in her life on her blog. We talk about her experiences of her father’s sudden death, about finding love, becoming a parent, and some of the hard stuff that life throws at you.

I also ask her why she has chosen to be so honest and vulnerable – while so many others remain stuck on the surface, presenting their perfect “Instagram life.”

There are some topics we cover in this chat that might be upsetting for you, so it comes with my occasional warning to be careful where you listen to it in case you shed a tear. Don’t worry though, I think you’ll also laugh out loud to balance it out.

After such a gap since my last episode, I was a bit rusty, and regular listeners will notice that I forgot to ask my 2 standard closing questions, but Suzanne gave so many great answers, I think you’ll be able to forgive me :-)

Stick around to the end for a great clip from the Dubland podcast that I mention during the episode.
