Guess who's back?!We are THRILLED to be back with Episode 18: Bumblin' Along. It has been a long old time, so in this episode we catch up on all things NMLH. Expect tales of woe and joy from Bumble, life lessons from Katie's grandma, solo travel, St Brigid, AJ and the Queen and a very important announcement. 

The photo was taken by Mary at the Cat Museum in Kotor, Montenegro and basically sums up our life goals. 

We had a fab time recording this episode with Catherine during the summer. We talk comedy, sexuality, feminism, abortion stigma, relationships, and fangirling over Alison Spittle. So if you need some down time from your family and all that feasting on cheese/mince pies/brussel sprouts/after eights, then get this in your ears on a nice brisk winter walk.

Image is a promo shot for Catherine's new show 'Lemon'. You can get tickets for Catherine's upcoming Dublin shows - March 6th in Whelans and March 7th in Draoícht on ticketmaster.ie.  If our chat with Catherine is anything to go by, the shows will be funny, warm, insightful and powerful. 

In advance of this year's annual March for Choice, we are back with Episode 16, talking about abortion stigma.

Mary #1 is joined by the wonderful Cathie Shiels, a pro-choice activist and founding member of the Abortion Rights Campaign, to talk about the roots of abortion stigma, what progress has been made in challenging abortion stigma and how far we still have to go. We talk about the recent referendum campaign, the issues with the current legislation and why we need to keep the conversation going to bust abortion stigma  - and why we need to march now as much as ever!

** In the episode we refer to a few groups without explaining who they are (DOH!)!

MERJ  - Migrants and Ethnic Minorities for Reprooductive Justice

MASI - Movement of Asylum Seekers in Ireland

We're back! In Episode 15 we chat with the wonderful Janet Horner about all things related to public space. Expect cycling, gender in public space, chats about freedom, taking up space (our fave), feelings about cars, and some big news from Mary #1!

We're back, and we are celebrating our first anniversary! It's been a whole year since we put out Episode 1 on July 21st 2018! What a year it has been! We talk about some of our favourite podcast moments, reminisce on some Tinder mishaps, and mull over some thoughts on self worth and narrative as feminism, and we answer some of our listener questions! ***We encountered a few sound issues while recording this episode and for some reason our mic didn't work properly. so apologies that the sound quality isn't up to the usual standard. Think of it as a stroll down memory lane to our earlier, pre-decent-mic, episodes :-) Let us know what you think, and remember to follow us on social media and like and review the podcast on your usual podcast places!

We're back!! In Episode 13, we tuck into some Heartbreak Bourbon, digging down into the hard stuff about break ups and heartbreak. Expect Fleabag, crying on public transport, holding space. reclaiming the narrative, some strong bourbon, and some strong words about why we are always, always, enough Thanks to everyone who listens, likes and shares the podcast. You're all lovely

We are BACK after a long absence! In Episode 12 we generally catch up and rant about things, including housing, eviction, manchildren, riding, the Spice Girls and how Lizzo is inspiring us to marry ourselves....apparently this is called sologamy! We are on the usual podcasty places! Don't forget to follow us on Twitter and Instagram for all the NMLH fun times!

We're back! In Episode 11 we are joined by the wonderful Nem Kearns from Disabled Women Ireland. Nem is an incredible activist, owner of many badges and general legend. We talk about why and how DWI was formed, disability, access, meaningful engagement, sexuality and the ongoing love affair between Nem and the NMLH residents! The photo is Mary #1 with Nem at this weekend's conference organised by the Coalition to Repeal the Eighth Amendment, where Nem talked about the challenges that women with disabilities face in accessing any reproductive healthcare, including abortion care and how the current legislation creates additional stress and obstacles for women with disabilities #nooneleftbehind

We have something a bit different for Episode 10! While Mary #2 was off gallivanting in London, Mary #1 sat down with Ber Grogan, independent candidate for NUI panel of Seanad Éireann. Once Mary got over the weirdness of not having Mary #2 there, we had some great chats! Expect housing and single people, pro-choice activism, dating, politics and why everyone on mortgage ads has great teeth. Never fear, both Marys will be back together for the next episode :) The photo is of Mary #1 and Ber delivering canvassing training together this time last year!! #getberinder
