Now You're Asking with Marian Keyes and Tara Flynn

The Pockets Problem


Listen Later

What happens when a neighbour takes your pizza ‘by mistake’? Or you’ve accidentally ended up paying for a friend’s childcare for too long? If your brother brings home an old flame – should you say something? And what should you do if your coat doesn’t have pockets? All these subjects are given the Marian and Tara treatment in the latest instalment of their popular advice podcast.

The first series was welcomed by listeners and critics.

"Both are warm and kind enough to not only be funny but also offer genuinely thoughtful, if left-field, advice." (Miranda Sawyer, The Observer)
"Keyes and Flynn are my new favourite double-act." (Jane Anderson - Radio Times)
"I found their compassion endlessly soothing." (Rachel Cunliffe - The New Statesman)

Marian Keyes is a multi award-winning writer, with a total of over 30 million books sold to date in 33 languages. Her close friend Tara Flynn is an actress, comedian and writer. Together, these two friends have been through a lot, and now want to use their considerable life experience to help solve the biggest - and smallest - of their listeners' problems.

From dilemmas about life, love and grief, to the perils of laundry or knowing what to say at a boring dinner, we’ll find out what Marian and Tara would recommend - which might not solve the problem exactly, but will make us all feel a bit better.

Recorded in Dublin with emails received from listeners around the world, the hosts invite you to pull up a chair at their virtual kitchen table as they read and digest their inbox.

Producer: Steve Doherty.
