Writer, Comedian and Broadcaster, Colm O'Regan joined us to talk about twitter brevity, Irish Mammies, the reality for the Arts and his new book, Ann Devine, Handle With Care.

Colm talks about the things that shape an Ireland that is dealing with its traditional strife's, in an era of social media and algorithm radicalisation. We also go into the problems facing creators and the industry around it. Despite all that doom and gloom, this is the most fun we've had on a podcast in ages. Buy Colm's book in all good book shops. We're giving two copies away to our members.
