UNLUCKY FOR SOME..IT'S EPISODE THIRTEEN!This week I chatted with the very lovely Darren Kennedy who is a designing, writing, styling, rhythm dancer. Darren spoke to me about some of the 8,000,000 jobs he has had along the way and how he has built his career one step at a time. Sometimes he didn't know where has was stepping to next, but he kept going and grabbed opportunities that arose instead of letting them drift by. He was a hot stepper. The most important thing I took from my chat with Darren however, was that he liked my ensemble, because at the end of the day, it's all about me. AM I RIGHT! I'm not. I'm joking. It's all about YOU and I hope you like m'talk with DK. If you do, don't send it flowers, tweet it, facebook it, fax it mates.Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/estheromd?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/80percentpodcast/Website: http://estheromd.com/Email: [email protected]: estheromdStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-80-with-esther-omoore-donohoe

DON'T LEAVE THIS ON YOUR SHELVES!IT'S EPISODE TWELVES!On the podcast this week, my guest was Jeanne Mahony. Jeanne Who Esther? Jeanne Mahony! She's not a TV watcher person on Googlebox, or a writer or a doggy couture designer....she's a bloody brewer and business woman. Jeanne took the long and winding road to end up at her present career and her story will hopefully inspire, not perspire you. There are no deadlines on yo' dreams cuties so keep going!Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/estheromd?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/80percentpodcast/Website: http://estheromd.com/Email: [email protected]: estheromdStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-80-with-esther-omoore-donohoe

DON'T LEAVE THIS EPISODE ON SOME SHELVES! STONE THE CROWS! IT'S EPISODE TWELVE!These rhymes are getting harder to write as the numbers escalate. Right now, the podcast is a tweenager and it's all 'Fenty Beauty this, Kylie Lipkit that, Shawn Mendes the other'. But I digress! This week my supersonic guest was author, columnist and Rice Krispie enthusiast, Sophie White. You may be familiar with Sophie's teeny tiny face as it appears above her column, The Domestic, each Sunday in LIFE magazine for the Sunday Independent. Now, this Sunday when you are browsing the mag, you can stop on Sophie's page, pause and say 'Hello tiny Sophie! I know what you sound like now.' My chat with SW wandered from hot button topics such 'what's your chipper order' and 'rice krispie penis cakes; discuss' to the more serious subject of Sophie's nervous breakdown in 2007 and the subsequent work it took to get better. Oh it's all here folks. Sophie details, with great humour and warmth, a very dark period in her life and I could have talked to her all afternoon.

COULD THIS BE HEAVEN? IT'S EPISODE ELEVEN!Well hello. This week I had a long chat with broadcaster, designer, producer, documentary maker and campaigner Brendan Courtney. Brendan was so generous with his time and it was a pleasure to talk to him about the long and winding road of his life and career so far. The conversation went from Carly Simon, to giving up drink, to Boy George, dealing with stress and everything in between. Brendan was warm, wise and wonderful and I hope you enjoy our little talk. Until next week...B'BYE!P.S If you like this week's podcast, please share the link on Facebook, Twitter or Snapchat or laminate the link, stick it up in your staff room and tell everyone in your canteen/house/bus stop to listen ; ) HAVE A GREAT WEEK!Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/estheromd?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/80percentpodcast/Website: http://estheromd.com/Email: [email protected] Snapchat: estheromdStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-80-with-esther-omoore-donohoe

COME AGAIN!? IT'S EPISODE TEN!After a mere three and half month summer break, The 80% podcast is back! I'm more tanned than I was back in June but I'm still as resentful of the success and achievements of others. This week my guest is Irish radio superman, Ian 'Iano' Dempsey, presenter of Ireland's most popular breakfast show on 100-102 Today FM. I grew up listening to Iano each morning as I ate my Rice Krispies before school. Now, I am lucky enough to talk to him most mornings in my role as ace traffic reporter on his show. He can't bloody believe his luck!We talked about all sorts including Bono, Ballymun, being a boot boy and a summer in D'Arcy. Saucy!I was a bit rusty after the break so please forgive me talking faster than usual and some dodgy edits but I will do better! I hope you're doing great wherever you are listening to this. Don't be afraid to get in touch! Until next week...bye!Follow on Twitter: https://twitter.com/estheromd?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/80percentpodcast/Website: http://estheromd.com/Email: [email protected] Snapchat: estheromdStitcher: http://www.stitcher.com/podcast/the-80-with-esther-omoore-donohoe

IT'S NOT A CRIME, JUST EPISODE NINE! My high-kicking, whirling dervish of a guest this week is Today FM broadcasting Canadian, Alison Curtis. Did I ask her if she watched the Real Housewives of Toronto and Vancouver as I have? I did not. Did I ask her if she knew Justin Trudeau or Justin Bieber. I did not. What did I ask her then? I asked her how she has managed to stay on-air for over 17 years, her drumming skills, women on air and lots more besides. It was a dream to chat to Alison and I hope you enjoy it too.

HATERS GON' HATE. IT'S EPISODE EIGHT!This week, my guest on The 80% was my one time colleague, the awesomely talented and funny Today FM broadcaster, Louise Duffy. As a tiny child in Crossmolina, Mayo, she used to record little programmes on a portable radio AND LOOK AT HER NOW!There are many reasons to resent Louise's success. She has her own show, Lost in Music on Today FM which airs weekdays 7-9pm. You ran a vurrry noice fashion and music website womenswearstory.com. She has a wardrobe that would give Carrie Bradshaw a run for its money and like Carrie, she's had her pic on the side of a bus promoting PMS. Every woman's dream.I like Louise a lot and it was great to hear her career story. In this episode we talked about, in no particular order: my bloody shin, her spin-class DISASTER and dungarees. If you enjoy my chat with Louise, please subscribe on iTunes, Soundcloud or Stitcher and leave a review, love heart or five star rating. I would really appreciate it! New episodes are uploaded every Tuesday and if you subscribe, you’ll get them as soon as they I put them up.

LEGS ELEVEN! IT'S EPISODE SEVEN! It took me seven episodes to get my first male guest on The 80% but my oh my, what a guy. James Kavanagh is a huge staaaar dahling on Snapchat, broadcasting and documenting bits of his life every day to thousands of fans. At the same time, he and his life and business partner William Murray, are building their Currabinny brand with the goal of opening a cafe in 2018. If you follow James on Snapchat you will be very familiar with Vintage Shop, the giant monkey puzzle tree and his 8,000 candelabras. Well I got to see them with my own eyes and they were glorious.

We talked about everything from her life-changing gastric surgery to her experiences with depression and anxiety.

JUMPIN' JOLLICKERS, I WAS ON ME HOLLIERS! Which is why there was no podcast uploaded last Tuesday. I had it edited and ready to upload ahead of time for when I was away but the wifi was so bad where I was, I couldn't do it mates. I'm sure you were all devo but managed to somehow get on with your lives regardless. I edited this chat the night before I went off on me jolls when I was trying to pack and do a million other things hence I sound a bit weary in the intro and outro. I will be back to my fountain of dynamic effervescence next week I'm sure. THIS WEEK, I am chatting with broadcaster, writer and prolific Zara shopper, Rebecca Horan. No doubt you have heard Rebecca's lovely voice reading the news on Today FM, 98FM, Lyric FM and many other FMs I cannot recall at this moment in time. You may have also seen her on TV3 contributing on Ireland AM and the artist formally known as Midday, now known as Elaine. Currently, she works as digital editor and presenter for http://www.Extra.ie as well as doing a thousand other things. She can drop the word 'vagina' into a sentence apropos of nothing, more than any other human I have ever met and I like her all the more for it. She's cool and no fool so listen to this, it's like mini-career school. LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE PLEASE!
