This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast…

This week Arthur kicks things off with a sleepless night after his daughter Blur apparently spent the early hours pointing at an invisible presence in her bedroom… Did she see a ghost? Is Blu psychic??? Cue talk of vortexes, white witches, and energy clearing. 

The pair then relive the highs of their first live show at Galway Town Hall, complete with the revival of Donal’s iconic silver waistcoat from the Eurosong days, and a surprise dance routine from the audience. 

They round things out with a deep dive into music industry longevity, swapping stories from Duffy, Calvin Harris's pineapple-on-head X Factor stunt, and the secret to staying relevant in pop.

Tune in for ghosts, vortexes, and a pineapple-headed Calvin Harris story you won't believe!

This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur and Donal Podcast…

Donal is fresh off filming his new TV show and ready to unpack a bizarre story he can’t stop thinking about… a seagull screeching competition.

As a Howth native, he has plenty to say about the increasingly bold (and slightly terrifying) local seagulls, while Arthur compares it to his completely

different upbringing in Armenia. The conversation takes a turn into the world of skincare, as Arthur welcomes new warnings aimed at parents buying products for young kids. As a dad of two girls, he’s passionate about protecting young skin and knowing exactly what’s in your routine.

Donal admits he loves skincare too… but still feels awkward shopping for makeup. Arthur isn’t having it. Times have changed, and men wearing makeup is nothing to be embarrassed about.

Plus, they dive into the Met Gala, sharing their favourite looks and imagining what they’d wear if they ever scored an invite.

This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur & Donal Podcast…

Arthur’s entered his farmer era, and Donal has questions. From photoshoots in fields to getting way too up close with cows (yes, including a surprise

cow-tongue “massage”), things take a bizarre turn as they dive into what we actually eat from a cow… and Donal confirms: pretty much everything 👀

But what starts as farm chat quickly spirals into something bigger. If you won the lotto, where would you go? Easy: holiday! Except… with the fuel crisis disrupting air travel, is that even realistic anymore? They break down what’s happening with flights right now and why more people are ditching trips abroad for staycations in Ireland. Plus, their top spots to visit around the country. Then, a more serious note. The lads react to the news that the iconic St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre is set for a major revamp, and people are not happy. Donal shares childhood memories tied to the Dublin landmark,

while Arthur reflects on experiencing it for the first time after moving to Ireland.

Is this the end of an era?

🎧 Listen now and join the conversation. What do you think about the changes, and are staycations the new normal?
