In this episode, Orla and Emily move from the studio to Orla’s sitting room for tea and chats with filmmakers Ger Moane and Sonya Mulligan. Together the pair made “Outitude: The Irish Lesbian Community”, which gave LB women a platform to tell their own stories through highs and lows.

In this episode, Emily and Orla chat with historian Dr Mary McAuliffe about some of the lesbian power couples that made Irish independence possible.

In their first full length episode, Emily and Orla talk activism, parenting, mental health and all things lesbian with the talented and charismatic Dil Wickremasinghe.

In this shorter opening episode, Emily and Orla give a brief introduction to “In Awe Of Mná” as they discuss their motivations and hopes for the podcast. The pair explain why their goal is to create a space for LBT+ women of all ages to find out what their peers are doing, and to learn about their diverse history and community.

“In Awe of Mná: A Lesbian+ Podcast” is a podcast that aims to highlight and celebrate the historical and contemporary contributions that lesbian and bisexual women have made to both their communities and wider activist movements in Ireland.
