Nicola Coughlan, Northern Ireland, and Derry Girls


Listen Later

What do three guys who went to college in the midwest know about Dairy? An awful lot. Derry? Well that’s a new one.


This week the guys do Derry Girls! The BBC4 coming-of-age comedy taking place in embattled Northern Ireland. From show runner Lisa McGee comes a smattering of her own high school stories and memories with sharp, hilarious writing. We follow a 16 year old Erin (Saoirse-Monica Jackson), her cousin Orla (Louisa Harland), and best friends Clare and Michelle (Nicola Coughlan and Jamie-Lee O’Donnell) in the 1990’s as the Troubles raged but neared their end.


The show found a global audience after Netflix grabbed the rights and the rest is history. Join us this week for a truly terrific high school comedy.
