  • Shifting into different cultures

    Bonjour besties! Both Charlotte and I have experience moving around to different countries and cultures. Today we are going to talk about how it felt being pulled out of our known environments, why we made the choice to move abroad on our own and all the things we learned along the way.

  • The step to elopement

    Discussing our ideas of marriage and children whilst being years away from considering either might seem a bit extreme. But growing up as young girls it seems like the topic is constantly on your mind. Whether that was because we loved and desired the idea of marriage and children or whether these expectations were subconsciously forced on us is a different question... and in today’s episode that is exactly what we are covering. So, grab your glass of wine (since we’re not drinking) and join our discussion!

  • one pot of uni experiences

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like if the merlot lullabies were a cooking show? Probably not, since this is only our second episode. Yet, here we are cooking our lunch while chatting about what it is like to move abroad and go to college in Galway. Between dating, Charlotte’s onion-laziness, drug use and finding your people, we are making a fabulous one-pot feta pasta recipe! So come join us for this cook-along.

  • Welcome to the pod

    It was a Wednesday in October when we met in a kitchen that belonged to neither one of us and soon, over wine, feminist literature, and boy trouble we bonded and became friends. This is the story of how we met. Romantic meet cutes can be so overrated (in my humble opinion), and this friendship meet cute involves all the good stuff of dating, mountaineering and a ball...

  • The Revolutionary Housing League
    Hi guys! In today's episode I am talking to a member of the Revolutionary Hosuing League (RHL). Everyone living in Ireland (and probably many other countries too) is familiar with the housing crisis. The RHL is an organisation that speak up about capitalist created inequalities. They want the national government to put people before profit.

  • One perspective on Oman's monarchy
    Hello friends! Today I am exploring one perspective on monarchy through the example of Oman: why do some societies prefer a monarchy to a democracy, what do tribal societies have to do with it and what does political progress in a monarchy look like? Let's find out together!

  • Without purpose
    Hi friends! I have a little update on last weeks episode and afterwards I am sharing some of my thoughts on the question of purpose... Maybe the thought of four months of summer vacation are making me a little melodramatic, but maybe you can relate to my feelings about the pressure the ideology of purpose poses on us. Because what if our lives are completely without purpose? A bit of a scary thought and yet it can be freeing :) - Sophie x

  • I am speaking up for victims of rape

    Hi. This episode requires a trigger warning since I am talking about rape. Today I am trying to stand up and spread awareness for my friend that was raped last week and for myself. I am telling my story and I appreciate everyone helping us to spread awareness on what is happening. Rape doesn't just happen in one way and chances are you know someone that has been raped. And this cannot happen! - Sophie x
