Transcribe →Catch Up with Author and Journalist Jennifer Bray
Feb 2700:45:27Tap to summarizeJen Bray is Political Editor at The Sunday Times. Her 18-year journalism career includes work with the Irish Times, The Times, the Sunday Tribune and the Irish Daily Mail. We’ve met a few times but there was lots I didn’t know about her, and I massively enjoyed learning more in this conversation which we had in relation to her debut novel, The Lies Between Us. We discuss struggles with confidence, big sibling age gaps, and how sometimes you can think you can just push your way past a traumatic experience, but it will often come back to haunt you when you least expect it.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.

Transcribe →Catch Up with Alison Spittle
Aug 8, 202501:08:23Tap to summarizeThis week I'm catching up with the much-loved Alison Spittle, comedian, podcaster, writer and actor. I originally wanted to chat to her about her new show which is currently on in Edinburgh and is coming to Dublin Fringe in September, as well as her new podcast Magazine Party, and we do talk about those things, but mainly we talk about the complicated topic of weight and weight loss. This is tricky territory and I know it can be triggering for some people (including me depending on where I am in terms of body image at a given moment), so if you can't listen right now, that's ok. I do think it's a useful conversation though between two people who have given a lot of thought to the layered toxicity of diet culture, conversation around body image, life as a fat person and the impact of weight loss.
