Possibly the most anticipated episode of Dubland so far? Suzanne and PJ have A LOT of catching up to do. There's no point in writing much of a description here, you're going to listen to it anyway, aren't you? So, we do the misery first and then move on to all the deadly stuff. PJ talks openly and completely heroically about his mental illness, his mother's passing, his Late Late Show appearance and everything else that's been going on over the past year and more. We learn about Crazy Golf, get ...

Colour therapy and how to be calm and then some Love Island talk where agreement cannot be reached. PJ has a lovely walk up a hill and then is quickly dragged back down to earth. Going on your holidays 20 minutes up the roa...

There's lots to enjoy in this episode of Dubland, you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll be infuriated and you'll be terrorised. What more do you want? Are we reopening on the 5th of July or what's the story? This delta thing sounds like shampoo anyway, not a new variant, so get on with it one way or the other PJ is sick of the positivity, why are we still going through all the numbers? The smart lads out there are putting plans in motion to sell their sperm when all the other lads have dead flutes. S...

Dubland begins this week with an accusation. PJ has the sort of tan that looks like it has a hint of Spanish sun in its making. PJ defends himself (and his dogs with the same lotion). Suzanne becomes more Irish when she's not in Ireland. PJ also reveals the results of his extremely interesting DNA test, and for the first time ever, Dubland exclusive, reveals who his real dad is. Suzanne gets a very fancy new kettle and toaster, very fancy now. She also talks about her new ASMR fetish, and PJ can...

This week on Dubland you will learn, in great detail, how to get more pleasure than is strictly legal out of your pet. The Dublanders are all good and vaccinated and PJ has some stuff to say about side effects, and Apple have started to get very invasive with their apps. PJ has dicky feet but finally got a nice looking pair of shoes that also work for his foot shape - it's fascinating stuff. Suzanne has booked flights, so that's it, she's off, or she's not. Either way, she tells us about a horri...

Young people are very accommodating to old farts like PJ who don't know what they're up to. He's now been vaccinated along with a load of other random people, and he tries to warn Suzanne about the impossibility of breaking up with your GP. She goes postal on her kids over greed. The Brits don't need tickets to anywhere, they just arrive. Suzanne has a movie moment in Arklow and PJ hates sea swimming but he's going to do it this week with Fiona Lambert for a great cause. They both think it's unf...

Suzanne is the good 1980s parent in this episode of Dubland as she sends her kids out into nature for a "base" of sunburn. At least she's not lathering them in carrot oil and giving them "tanning pills". PJ browned himself as he cycled out to Howth for a paddle and a beer. Suzanne has been vaccinated and though she's been excited about getting it for months, she now talks about the battle between excitement and nerves over getting it. It takes a while to get the vaccine because loads of Annes ar...

This week on Dubland we find out that in PJ's youth, the bank saved the wrong fiver for him. He's also starting to ruin his life with hope in a complete switcharoo with Suzanne. PJ reckons he has ten years of mobility left and Suzanne, who is younger, says he trampolining days are behind her. She then goes on to defend the UK royals, loves all the pomp and circumstance, PJ who cannot comprehend any of it wants a fancy dress funeral, he also gives a radio masterclass (faders and all) before we re...

PJ is now the oldest man in the world. Like everyone else in their 40s, he has given up on life. Then there's the story of the naked burglar. PJ gets whiskey for his birthday and proves he likes it by saying what he would have said if he didn't like it. He then bangs on about the rules of whiskey. The pair of them are hooked on the ibuprofen, mad for it altogether. The red wine isn't doing it for Suzanne anymore, she's on the injectables now. Now, the big question of the week - do you tip your f...

There is dog excrement everywhere and Mr. Poo, formerly known as PJ Gallagher is ready to talk about it and he might even make the odd complaint about this new excrement covered world we inhabit. He's also done with burgers and both he and Suzanne are too old for spice bags. They talk about the Netflix documentary Seaspiracy, the Artane Boys' Band and the overwhelming desire for a bomb scare when you were in school. It rates highly among the excuses to get out of work, which are listed in this e...

This week on Dubland PJ is starting a new job so obviously everything is terrible. The Dublanders don't want to be negative Nellies, but somehow it might be happening anyway. Suzanne went on the Pat Kenny show to demonstrate the fact. She is joining PJ as a Covid Crank. Anyway, that's all the morbid stuff out of the way. Suzanne and PJ then go on to planning their funerals. The podcast should become a sort of document, which anyone who survives Suzanne and PJ should listen to when it comes to th...

Dubland drops this week with middle aged men in cycling high heels which isn't enough to lighten PJ's form, he's having a mare of a week. There's more talk of PJ's finances with Eoin McGee and just a touch of light defamation. He's giving up on getting a house, but Suzanne isn't ready to give up on him getting a house, so she starts pitching TV shows based on the topic, and dating shows, and the merging of the two. Which leads to discussion about First Dates and PJ's history of dating dead women...

Straight into the action this week on Dubland with pie charts, right angles, pizza and the globally diminishing ability to be able to tell the time. St. Anthony is on the lookout for Suzanne's AirPods and PJ tells us about his waxy ears and burning "water" in a list of pains and grievances that Suzanne, the mother of three, wouldn't understand. PJ is going to get into a helicopter with a pilot who loves golf jumpers and is convinced PJ is someone other than PJ. Suzanne discovers micro-happiness ...

Dubland begins this week with a slightly more conventional plug for HeadStuff+ (the new membership platform on which you can become a member and support this podcast!) Then it gets down to more conventional Dubland topics, if the word conventional could ever be associated with this podcast. They talk about mass collections and PJ as an altar boy who was in it for the cash. There's Dead Dad Day which is an annual thing for Suzanne. Giving stuff up for Lent and the various cheats people use for th...

PJ cut his own hair. They talk about auditions and never getting a call from your agent, sure don't we all know? We all love Deirdre O'Kane (not Suzanne's aunt). Do you know anything about the Turkmenistan President? We learn a bit more about Suzanne's kids and the differences between them. From temper tantrums to list of gifts to conscription lists.

Dubland is back with more talk of fancy foods, Branston Pickles and Braxton Hicks. Suzanne's house is a building site and PJ still has a leaky roof (for new listeners this is going on for years). Suzanne is a crank, but she has good reason, which she lists, and PJ can't believe it, especially the sports related size comparison. He really learns a lot in this episode. He genuinely might be a new man after this episode. So there's a lot of talk about the pregnancy and babies and stuff. But then PJ...

Suzanne bursts PJ's bubble at the beginning of this episode by chastising him about the mortgage stuff. PJ is very upset, he's finished all the books so now he's learning Spanish. He's freaked out though because he discovered that the Argentinians are making a TV show about him. Suzanne is freaked out by the new PJ, she's really pregnant and all of this just doesn't feel real to her. He's even teaching people English. Phil the DPD driver makes an appearance and we learn a bit about Dunnes and Pe...

Suzanne gives PJ a present because he was texting her about the end of the world. He drowned his sorrows in all the whisky. Suzanne is cranky, fed up with people. Phil the DPD driver is the only good one left. PJ was involved in a car crash. We learn about teaspoon fulls of babies. And, related, we learn about vasectomies. PJ's pal gives the doctor the wrong sample. Men are a much simpler system. People are pass-remarkable about Suzanne's belly. There's talk about family and adoption and all sor...

Dubland is back and back to talking about poor old Paul Mescal's biology. Suzanne also makes an ethical defence for preventing a portion of society from accessing healthcare. There's the latest turn in Dubland's on point reaction to Covid-19. Suzanne gets a Covid test, it's great fun, although, she must reiterate, she didn't need one. PJ is incredulous at the description of the test. PJ compares pregnancy to a banned extreme sport. There's a ken doll. PJ tells us about the skip he hired and the ...

Dubland meets Doireann Garrihy and quickly delve deep into PJ's bowel movements, or lack thereof. Eventually we get around to Doireann and the talk moves to being busy and how busy we should be and what the pandemic has taught us about taking a breath. They talk about moving in with your fella or missus, especially during a pandemic. Suzanne and PJ starts organising Doireann's wedding, which she quickly puts a stop to, seeing as she's not engaged or getting married. So they talk about comedy, ho...

PJ has absolutely nothing to do, he's living in the privilege of pure boredom. He's like a cardboard human at a baseball game. He then goes off on Leeds FC, and makes a ballsy wager on their losses. Who would rob a dead man's heart? There's some Irish history in this episode and some of the gossip of great Irish authors and their meanderings. Dublin Castle, Christchurch Cathedral, James Connolly and the Queen of Tarts all make appearances. There are ghosts and banshees and the possibility of the...

A back to school special with Suzanne and PJ. We get a good sense of your Dubland hosts at school age. Suzanne's kids decide that school/creche are no longer as important as sleep.

Suzanne tried to make her peace with the Lord as a seven year old and PJ tells us how he left the school he hated in a blaze of glory. There's a barnstormer of a revelation about hands in pa...

Suzanne makes the case for a percentage of Harry Kane's fortune by way of close family relations. PJ shoots it down using irrefutable biology. Maiden names get the once over as do myths of rock and roll lechery. There's more biology then, of the unmistakably female kind, including a trip to Benidorm. PJ is a week into his holidays and he's bored stiff. He finds himself doing bizarre things in his shed. He has returned to Instagram and Suzanne instantly informs him that she thought his dogs were ...

Finally, after much talk of getting financial planner Eoin McGee into the studio to help PJ sort out his mortgage woes, we have got Eoin McGee into the studio. And it's a jumbo episode!

There's loads in here about money, taxes, mortgages, savings, pensions and a few good laughs along the way. It's Dubland, dive in. Go buy a t-shirt and enjoy Dubland. This ep...

This week there’s a gift from a fan, two gifts in fact. Difficult for PJ, who “hates owning things”. He’s clearing out his house but has gone a bit Marie Kondo, or maybe he’s just lost it. He doesn’t want to own anything - no need for a bed, or a table, sure just eat off your lap. Suzanne has strong feelings about not eating at a table. She’s less upset then you’d imagine about turning 40, though. There’s talk of botox. The chat moves on to pregnancy and the miracle of modern ultrasound scans, b...

PJ is struggling so Suzanne goes to the trusty Dubland audience and Dr. Google to diagnose him. PJ turns to Smithwicks. How are we getting on with the virus now? Judging by previous attitudes from your hosts you might guess where they are now... but I wouldn't bet your house on these yoyos. Suzanne stalks PJ in Howth. Suzanne gets more free stuff, PJ is suitably perturbed. There's talk about food and being/not being a foodie. An ad starring PJ from the 90s is uncovered. They get deep into the Du...

Dubland begins this week with some music that Suzanne and PJ are listening to at the moment. Which sets PJ off on a rant about Irish rappers. He then heads off to the right place for a meal but ends up getting 'done'. They talk about Covid-19, where we are now, and whether or not we're all fecked, one way or another. This leads to PJ's theory that we're in the midst of an epidemic of human excrement, and it unleashes wild accusations against our canine friends. For those who can still eat after ...

The mint milkshakes from McDonald's turned kids green and Sunny D made them orange. Good for bereavement though, which is something. PJ confesses his love for "Dallas" and Funderland. The episode is a nostalgia fest for the first while. There's breaking news on the word 'Culchie'. They serve the wrong chips in Lahinch but overall it's a great place altogether, down in the Clares. The pair of love gurus talk about relationships and sexuality and sort it all out once and for all. PJ turns into a c...

PJ gives out to Suzanne again. We need to be afraid of everything now. PJ gets a McDonald's but Suzanne, despite her joy at the news, has a few issues with how he went about it. Kanye West is running for president, which is great news for the podcast. Suzanne meets a Covid Denier and she also had a bad cheesecake, they end up talking about soggy bottoms again. PJ has gone DEEP on the Below Deck, he's now spending money on it, it's all Suzanne's fault. She is watching Normal People now. They talk...
