'Those days of speed-dating in the staffroom are over'

I'm discussing Liz Nugent's new book Ruby Cooper, accidentally starting book clubs and why you should be dialling 8 for the Teaching Council if you are a secondary student whose teacher has forced you to listen to this podcast.

I talk about recently going kind of viral (ish) and the phenomenon of internet copycats: at what point are all guilty of being derivative, and at what point can we call the cops on someone copying your 25 second instagram reel. I also talk about flashing my bum to the wind in Galway, my encounter with Mormons in the Maldron and how tough it is being married to Padre Pio.

I also make the mad discovery that geography teachers read books too - who knew. If you have enjoyed the pod I would be so grateful if you could rate or review wherever you get your episodes, it helps hugely with spreading with the pod! Thanks so much for listening J x
