The Cop On episodes

  • Periods

    You know periods... But do you know periods? This episode, we're talking about menstruation with the gory, strange and real side of our near 30 years of experience with the red scare, having the builder's in, the Japanese flag, the rag or whatever you like to call the humble period. In this episode, we make up sayings such as: "acting starchy", "on death's bed", "distinct distinction" and "biological anatomy". Recommendation for the squeamish: have your finger hovering on that skip 15 seconds button. Find out more about Homeless Period Ireland here: https://twitter.com/HomelessPeriodD

  • Friendship

    Friends are just lovers you don't sleep with unless you sleep with your friends. Boy friends versus girl friends (binary alert), toxic friends, how to make friends and influence people and why Ais wasn't allowed near people as a child all in this episode.

    1 hr 20 min
  • Reality TV
    *Note: when we say Pop Idol, we definitely mean Popstars or Popstars: The Rivals - we are dumb and relied on memory. * Does reality TV have an impact on us - and is it always negative? The highs and desperately low lows of reality TV, including the glory that was the 00s talent show boom and the filthy UK ones (we're looking at you, Sex Box). Plus a very offensive Northern Irish accent, and a mangling of the Nadine Coyle story. Sorry, Nadine. You deserve better.

  • Religion
    A big long boy on religion, from the dunking of baptism and the mini-wedding that is the communion, to Ais's cult of pan- and bisexuals...
    1 hr 33 min
  • Quarter Life Crises
    Does your life feel futile and meaningless if you're not considering a Masters, travelling or climbing the ladder? Do you know who Charli D'Amelio is, but feel like maybe you shouldn't? Are you bloody burnt out? You, like us, might be having a quarter life crisis.

  • In Your Dreams

    Have you been having cracked dreams? Everyone is. Talking dreams, the weirdest ones we've ever had, dream analysis, sleep paralysis, nightmares and making sense of our listeners dreams. We recorded this away from each other and did our best on sound but it's proving difficult - Lucy's plosives soften after a few minutes, we swear.

  • Don't Hate, Isolate!

    A special isolation episode about isolation, with a special surprise of poor sound quality! We talk about going on 20 walks, which dog breeds we are, Ais having sex to podcasts and other absolute nonsense. Grab a beer and join us. It's like we're all at a party.

  • Working Girls

    We all have to do it, and it's not pooping: work! We talk about the work failures who made us who we are, being hired, being fired, the celebs we have met and what we hope for ourselves in the future. 

    1 hr 21 min
  • Bad Takes

    Why do men on the internet hate nose rings so much? In this episode, we painstakingly dissect bad takes to try to find the cop on within them featuring classics like "If Hillary had won, we'd be at brunch now", "anxiety is in your head" and "I find gorillas arousing".

  • What Does The Cop On Mean?

    Turn and face the strange, because Not Like The Other Girls has become The Cop On. It's a very Irish phrase so have a listen, find out why we changed and what it means at all, at all, begarra.
