This week we welcome Suzanne Jackson to the Talking Bollox studio. Many of you will know her as SoSueMe, she is one of Ireland's most famous people. What not many will know is how hard she grafted to become one of the most successful businesswomen in the country. A brand builder and entrepreneur she was one of the first bloggers in Ireland, long before anyone knew what an influencer was. She used the online world to make connections and build an audience. Many people thought she was mad to pack in her job as a receptionist in a radio station to go full time working with her blog and online. Fast forward a few years later and Suzanne is the founder and CEO of SoSueMe, one of Ireland's biggest female lifestyle brands. We chat about her journey, her future plans and also discuss the term “influencer” and what it means in today's world.

Episode 66 w/ Suzanne Jackson

Two lads from the inner city of Dublin sitting around doing what they do best, talking bollox.

Comedy

The two boys sit down to take your questions and talk about everything from what they'd put in a Dublin time capsule, to Terence's chances of outwitting and out-running a silverback gorilla in the Ilac Centre, and the one mystery they would love to know the truth behind.

Episode 109 - Remembrance

Aoife Moore is a journalist covering Irish politics. She was a guest at our last live show and since then we've been hounded by requests to get her on for a full episode.
We talked about everything from how the murder of her uncle on Bloody Sunday inspired Aoife to want to be a journalist, the online abuse she has faced, what it's like covering Irish politics, the protests around refugee centres, the prospects for a united Ireland, and how trauma rooted in The Troubles lives on today.

Episode 108 w/ Aoife Moore

This one goes as you might expect - a bit of everything and all over the place in the best way possible. We talk a little about men and their health (and why old habits die hard), Jason's heart troubles, Terence's mystery lump, UFOs, the speed of sound, and why it's never a good idea to start a fight with a celebrity.

Episode 107 w/ Jason Byrne

Roddy Collins, Aoife Moore and James Kavanagh were our guests for talking Bollox Live at Vicar Street on the 19th of November... and this might be our favourite live show so far.
There was an incredible atmosphere in the crowd that night and the guests gave us big laughs and powerful conversations.

Episode 106 - Vicar St 3.0

We take a moment this week to sit down and look back on some of our favourite moments and guests from the past 12 months.
