Juvenalia

Comedian Bláithín de Burca of the Try Channel and I Don't Know Her joins Alan and Sarah to talk about arguably the funniest animated Disney film, The Emperor's New Groove. We talk about the majesty of Eartha Kitt, the Kronkness of Kronk, the impeccable comic timing, the first pregnant woman in a Disney animated movie, Tom Jones, and much more. 

Bláithín is @beingbla on Twitter. She co-hosts the podcast I Don't Know Her with Aoife O'Connor and it's very good.

This episode was produced and edited by Cassie and Alan.

Singer-Songwriter Emma Langford joins us to talk about the queen of pop-punk Avril Lavigne. There’s a lot of talk about early 00s fashion, growing up, and we wonder if maybe Avril was secretly a country artist all along.

Emma is @ELangfordMusic. Her first album Quiet Giant is out now and her next album Sowing Acorns is available to pre-order Here 

Alan is @alan_maguire.  Juvenalia is his main thing but he does standup sometimes too.

Writer Laura-Blaise McDowell joins us to talk about how much Florence Welch, her work with Florence + the Machine, and just Florence in general, has meant to her over the years. Laura-Blaise was an absolute joy to talk to. We also talked a bit about Patti Smith and New York and it was just a good time, we all felt refreshed after it.

Laura-Blaise is @blaisinsquad. You can read her An Post Irish Book Awards nominated short story Balloon Animals here and you should because it’s class.

Jen O’Dwyer is one of the co-hosts of Mother Of Pod and The Creep Dive. She joined Alan and Sarah to talk about the lost world of the internet in the late 90s/early 00s. We talked about MSN messenger, when Yahoo was the only game in town, the rise of MySpace and Bebo, rotten.com, and eBaum’s World. That last sentence either flooded you with memories or was complete nonsense. If it was the former, join us.

Jen O’Dwyer can be found on Mother Of Pod and The Creep Dive. They’re both excellent.

Alan is @alan_maguire.  Juvenalia is his main thing but he does standup sometimes too.
