June 11, 2018 #48 Leah Hewson
ARTN'T YOU GLAD YOU DOWNLOADED THIS PODCAST?Of course you are because this week my dynamic and effervescent guest is ARTIST (see what I did) Leah Hewson! Leah is one of Irish Arts Review's top 8 artists under 40 https://www.irishartsreview.com/8-under-40-artists-to-watch/I am one of Irish Farts magazine top 8 fartists under 40 so we were off to a flying start. We met in her colourful studio on the South Quays on a sunny day in Dublin and it was a joy spending time finding out about how she works. Unfortunately for me, Leah was not dressed in an artists smock nor did she carry one of those big paint platters in her hand like you see in cartoons. I hid my disappointment well (my primary school speech and drama classes pay for themselves daily). Since graduating with an honours degree in fine art from IADT, Leah has had three solo exhibitions. Her 2017 show, Scintilla was the culmination of her six month residency at The Royal Hibernian Academy School.Leah's work is collected internationally and she has also sold pieces to the Office of Public Works, The Law Society of Ireland and most excitingly for Leah, the collection of Esther O'Moore Donohoe BSoc Sc (Hons). Esther plans to hang it in her bedroom in her new gaff. Currently, she is preparing for her fourth solo exhibition on the 12th of July in The Hillsboro Fine Art Gallery on Parnell Square. The proof is in the listening so go forth, put your headphones in and enjoy!http://www.leahhewson.comNow, why not treat yourself and follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/estheromd?lang=en I'M FUNNY!Instagram: www.instagram.com/80percentpodcast/ I TAKE NICE PICS.Website: estheromd.com/ I AM COOLEmail: [email protected] I REPLY PROMPTLYSnapchat: estheromd I never Snapchat.

She is currently working on Other Words for Smoke which is due out next year.In no particular order we talked about how she works, Ru Paul's Drag Race, developing a rock brand, Trabolgan, Phantom Thread and Pearse Street Library.

I CAN'T COPE WITH HOW GREAT STEFANIE IS! GEDDIT!?I also can't cope with how bad the sound is this week and it's all my fault! There is a lot of background noise in this episode when I'm talking to Stefanie so apologies. I did my best to improve it but I'll have to file this one into the 'live and learn' category. Sorry if it's more difficult to listen to as a result!With that said...hello! Well the biggest news of the last week for me was....that THE PODCAST WAS MENTIONED ON THE TODAY SHOW WITH MAURA AND DAITHI. Be still my heart. Big thanks to @triona.ie for including me on her list of recommendations for the week. I felt like JLo. PLUS, I asked Daithi (first name terms now) if he'd do the p'cast and he said he would so let's hope it works out! Bit. of. fun. Riiiight?But first, this week's episode.My guest this episode needs no introduction having achieved huge success on stage and screen in Ireland. Stefanie Preissner is a writer in huge demand so it was a pleasure to spend some time with her and see how she ticks. She wanted to a Garda in her youth but thank GARDA she didn't (where's my prize). Had she spent her days policing people drinking cans of Dutch Gold in fields at the back of Centras or wire tapping her colleagues, we would have been denied great works such as Solpadeine is my Boyfriend, Can't Cope, Won't Cope or experience her GIF-fy reactions on RTE's Cutting Edge.So unhook your bra, or put one on, make some tea and enjoy my chat with Ms. Stefanie Preissner.NEW EPISODES EVERY TUESDAY so subscribe and you won't miss out mates.YOU'RE DOING GREAT!E.xNow, why not treat yourself and follow me on Twitter: twitter.com/estheromd?lang=en I'M A FUNNY WOMAN!Instagram: www.instagram.com/80percentpodcast/Website: estheromd.com/Email: [email protected]: estheromd I never Snapchat.

May 08, 2018 #45 Rosemary MacCabe
'SUCCESS IS A MATTRESS TOPPER'Well hi there! This week's chat is a long un and, if I do say so, a good un too. My guest this week is the Notorious MAC a.k.a Rosemary MacCabe. Known for her opinionated blog posts and strong opinions, Rosemary is the ultimate slash/slasher. She has written for many, many publications including The Irish Times. She has her own very successful blog (www.rosemarymaccabe.com), You Tube channel, is a certified personal trainer and a popular Instagramer (she went to Instagram University for three long years to get her Bachelor of Filters. She's got all bases covered honey!We talked about how Rosemary got started as a writer and her eventual metamorphosis into a card carrying Media Personality™. She explains how she opted to take some time out of public life last year when the online abuse she received spilled over into real life. Something had to give and it was largely her presence online that got cut. We also talked taking control of your finances and how empowering that can be (see Ellen Pompeo article linked below) to happiness being a warm mattress topper. About forty minutes in, someone walks in with a tray full of cutlery which you may hear crashing about in the background. Please be assured that no spoons were damaged in the making of this podcast. Make sure you like, subscribe, share the link on your social medias, buy the podcast a cake and tell it that you love it. Okay? Great.

YOU DOWN WITH MO'C? YEAH YOU KNOW ME!Oh hi! Your hair looks amaaaazing!This week I chatted with TV3 and Today FM Queen, Muireann O’Connell! We talked about all the important stuff such as her love of Nadine Coyle from Girls Aloud (I’ve put a link below of my friend Ruth doing a great impression of her) her love of My So Called Life and her love of The 80% podcast, the greatest podcast in all the land. Pedantic Pats will say ‘I’ve listened back to this episode and I’m certain Muireann never says she loves your podcast’. Be that as it may, I have chosen to believe she does. Put me on Bloggers Unveiled for making false claims! Throw me in da slammer! I couldn’t give an effing shiz. MO'C was a D R E A M and if you like, don't be afraid to S.D.L (Share Dat Link)...oh and leave a review...oh and...well that's it.

April 24, 2018 #43 Triona McCarthy
I'VE BECOME A MOTHER!To another podcast baby!As I survey my podcast nursery and look at all my babies running around I’m lit up. There’s my little Claire Balding playing with her dolls hair. Amy Hubles, building a cinema with Lego. Ian Dempsey, on the Fisher Price CD player doing a little disco for James Kavanagh and Doireann Garrihy in their playpen.My newest baby is always my favourite and this week I’ll be giving the most love and attention to…Triona McCarthy! Writer with the Sunday Indo, beauty expert and all round madser. I had a sheet of questions for Triona but we went all over the place. A sandwich gets delivered about 5 minutes in and we had to pause between talking to eat a chicken wrap and chips.Triona has been there, done that and bought the designer T-shirt. She was so much fun. We talked vomiting, travelling with *the* Jimmy Choo, Michael Flatley and disgracing herself in Athens in front of a world famous rock band. She's a bloody riot mates. I hope you enjoy and don't forget to rate, like and SUBSCRIIIIIBE!New episodes every Tuesday (ish).

April 17, 2018 #42 Esther is a sloth
Picture it: me typing this little blurb. My nail-bitten fingers tapping the keys like mini flesh hammers; tap-tap-tap. Now picture me typing where those hammers have a Light Tan™. I have just come back from a two week sloth fest in the sun and have sun-damage/tan as my proof. I decided to go away with my number one best friend for a recharge of the batteries. ‘Who’s your best friend Esther? Your lover?’ No. It is me. I am my best friend. I went away on my Tobler and I focking loved it. My intentions were to do some editing, write, do the splits at sunrise and eat lotus leaves dipped in honey daily. In reality I turned into a complete holiday sloth who greased herself up like a rasher every day and cooked herself in the sun whilst reading, listening to podcasts and Ru Paul songs (Hey Kitty Girl is my current favourite). If you’re in the market for book recommendations, I put a list together on the podcast Insta page so go and have a look: https://www.instagram.com/p/BhbePqnjcff/?taken-by=80percentpodcastWhen I wasn’t lying in the sun baking like a camembert cheese, I was also barely speaking to any other human being that approached me so deep was I in my self-imposed isolation. In addition, I would take lunch solo, in front of the TV watching uplifting shows such as ‘Can’t Pay? We’ll Take It Away’ on Channel 5, a show that follows bailiffs around England repossessing items from people who are heavily in debt. Nothing says ‘relaxing holiday’ more than debt recovery. I had planned to edit the interview I recorded for this episode while I was away but I just didn’t, couldn’t, wasn’t bothered so in place of a guest this week, it’s me talking sh*te for seven minutes. Normal service will resume next Tuesday so set your alarms now and don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already! Have a great week and C U Next Tuesday.

March 19, 2018 #41 Emer McLysaght on getting a book deal, Jurassic Park & wet tights
This conversation was recorded in 2018 and re-edited in 2026.

I met Emer in the old Library Bar in Central Hotel on Exchequer Street in Dublin (click here for the hotel update). Back then we were strangers who had no idea we’d go on to, not only become friends, but also become carvery's and roast dinners investigators and create our very own podcast called Emer and Esther’s Sunday Roast with Emer and Esther.

At the time, Emer was promoting the first book in the Aisling series she wrote with friend and collaborator Sarah Breen. Oh My God What A Complete Aisling was a huge success and in 2020 was ranked in the top five selling Irish fiction books of the decade. Their latest novel Our Deadly Summer will be out in May 2026. Here is a pre-order link to it if you want to get your hands on it.

During our wide ranging conversation we talked about everything from drying tights, archeology, working with Ryan Tubridy and how she and Sarah got their big publishing break.

Peace and love and happy listening!
Esther

HAIR-Y UP AND PLAY THIS WEEK'S EPISODE! This week I had the pleasure of talking to yet another superstar of Snapchat Clare Fulham a.k.a Claire Balding!

The future is bright for Ms. Fulham and I've no doubt that she will do great things in the future. Today Marino Green, tomorrow THE WORRRRLD. G'wan Claire with the Hair. If you’re a long-time listener and haven’t left a review, well, what are you waiting for? Go to iTunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher and leave a few lines. Example: 'Having listened to Esther's podcast, I now divide my life into two parts. B.P (Before Podcast) and A.P (After Podcast). How have I wasted my life up to this point by not subscribing!'

February 20, 2018 #39 Caroline Foran
‘I’LL HAVE WHAT SHE’S HAVING’ WHEN ESTHER MET CAROLINE.Well, howdy doody. This week my cartwheelin’ and high achievin’ guest is best selling writer, Caroline Foran. Caroline’s first book, ‘Owning it: Your Bullshit Free Guide to Dealing with Anxiety’ was on the best seller list for 16 WEEKS! SIXTEEN WEEEEEKS-Hell-urrrr! Her next book, ‘The Confidence Kit’ is out in May of this year and no doubt, it will be just as successful as her debut. SOUND THE JEALOUSY KLAXON! JK of course. We talked about many things including Caroline being a natural leader, 'When Harry Met Sally', overcoming her debilitating anxiety and writing an incredibly successful book and lots more besides. She’s ‘your basic nightmare’ (this is another quote from ‘When Harry Met Sally’ before anyone loses their mind. Caroline was a dream). If you’re a long-time listener and haven’t left a review, well, what are you waiting for? Go to iTunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher and leave a few lines. Y’know, something simple like. ‘This podcast has completely changed my life’ or ‘Esther has no flaws and the voice of a nightingale drinking honey’. Something along those lines. If that’s too much, ‘good’ will also do very nicely.A new episode will be up next Tuesday so until then, have a great week my cutie patooties.
