The clocks have gone forward agus tá an ghrian sna tráthnónaí dár spreagadh bheith níos outdoorsy. Get the hiking boots on, the tent pitched & the toilet paper on standby - san eip táimid ag caint faoi bheith amuigh ag spaisteoireacht agus ag campáil. We share some camping disasters a d'inis ár n-éisteoirí dúinn (ná bí ag caitheamh aníos i bpuball a bhfuil cúigear eile ann!) agus na háiteanna is fearr linn ó thaobh na siúlóireachta de. Louise gives us a top tip on hiking gear, Doireann reali...

The first question on everyones lips when we talk about a United Ireland is money. How much will it cost us and how will we pay for it? To give us an overview of what the economics of unity might look like we sit down with Stephen Kinsella Professor of Economics at the University of Limerick and member of the Irish Government's AI Advisory Council and an Economic Advisor to the Tánaiste, Simon Harris. In October 2025 BBC NI published a podcast series, Borderland, that tackled the question of Iri...

In the first episode of our new series, we’re sitting down with Taoiseach na hÉireann Micheál Martin to talk all things shared island, modern republicanism and asking if unity is realistic or romantic? In October 2025 BBC NI published a podcast series, Borderland, that tackled the question of Irish unity. While the series explored both sides of the argument on the question of unity, there was one clear agreement. It’s time for the south to seriously engage with the Northern question if there is ...

Spreagtha ag Verona Farrell, nó @secondhandhuns ar Insta, tá Louise ag iarraidh all things chic a phlé. Ach cad is 'chic' ann? An féidir cur síos a dhéanamh air? Tá díospóireacht againn faoi na rudaí atá chic agus not chic, dar linne, ar nós matching underwear (chic), espresso martinis (not chic BUT delish), and a red lip (hung jury). Doireann gets an awful touch for her wine fridge, argues for the chicness of iarthar Chorcaí, and somehow butchers the lyrics to TiK ToK le Kesha... Bain sult as a...

In a total U-turn ó eip na seachtaine seo caite, táimid ag caint faoi Lent san eagrán seo! Beidh tús á chur leis an gCarghas (nó 40 Hard) amárach, agus táimid ag iarraidh é a phlé - cad iad na cúiseanna a mbíonn daoine á dhéanamh, cad iad na pleananna atá ag ár n-éisteoirí lena aghaidh, agus an rud maith é an struchtúr a thugann an Carghas dúinn, fiú muna bhfuil tú religious? Agus cinnte, tugaimid Lenten challenges dá chéile. Tá Doireann disgusted fós with how Dry January has wrecked her grá for...

Louise has had a revelation fúithi féin post-Bad Bunny Bowl agus tá sí ag iarraidh kink a phlé mar thoradh - ach cad is kink ann? Ó ghrianghraif AI de Jacob Elordi in nylon stockings go litreacha salacha James Joyce, déanaimid ár ndícheall an kink landscape a thuiscint.
