  • Episode 52 - the instagram live one, together in person!


    This week's episode is a little different as we decided to do an instagram live while we recorded the episode as we are together in Edinburgh. So, things may sound a little different but we have the five things as always!

    First up is the National Women's Council of Ireland's new campaign #shapingourfuture which outlines ten areas the Irish government should focus on in the next budget due in September.

    Nicola talks to us about the end of Love Island, and, wait for it....the return of Big Brother - yay.

    Our Fox of the Week is Nichelle Nichols who passed this week and was an icon actress - best known for her role in Star Trek as Lieutenant Nyota Uhura.

    The follow this week is friend of Fox Force Five  Karen Moynihan, the coolest farmer in Ireland. You can follow her on instagram on @karen_moynihan for great farming content and lols.

    Finally, we talk about a new campaign to get venues to allow artists retain the profits from their merchandise sails @featuredartists talked to NME.

    We are well and truly back - and what a time we've had since we last did the podcast. Catch up with all the craic around some of the best days of our lives! As well as, you guessed it, 5 things you need to know about. 

    Up first this week is questionable trends, followed by some Love Island chat which we didn't want to have but unfortunately cannot be avoided, they need to fix things. Our Fox of the Week is Mildred Norman aka 'Peace Pilgrim', a woman who walked and walked and walked...for peace.

    Nicola's trend this week is a handy tip, tenminutemail.com and we end with music news as normal and some fascinating research about how artist's music-making is impacted by winning a grammy.
