Tis Yourself

The refffferreeee's a legend!

You don't tend to hear nice things about referees but I for one will only have good things to say about my guest today!

David has been a ref for years and is one of the most respected in GAA.

And he won the respect of the LGBTQ+ community when he publicly came out in 2015 in the campaigning for the Marriage Equality Referendum.

Since then, he has been fighting for Pride in the GAA and in sports. This week a documentary aired on TG4...

Sorry for the delay between episodes but I am so excited to bring you this chat with Ali!

As many of you might know, she recently discovered she had breast cancer and has gone through treatment, with her husband, family, neighbours and loved ones providing endless love and support.

In this chat, we discuss her cancer journey, how she found out she had it just weeks after moving to Ireland, and how the people she least expected turned up for her.

We also talk TV, being a star in the...

This is truly a brilliant episode.

Cormac, who you may know from Love Island, or from his fitness journey on Instagram, opens up about his addictions and how they nearly killed him.

He talks about how he faked being well to go on Love Island and why he thinks now he shouldn't have been there.

He opens up about his relapses and what it took to get to seek help.

Truly inspiring, and also hopeful, to show there is help out there and light at the end of the tunnel.

Ever wondered how Mateo got picked to be the Maitre' D for the First Dates Ireland restaurant? Or why he chose to move from Croatia to Dublin?

Or do you just want to listen to him speak in that lovely accent for an hour?

Well I can help with all three, we have a fun filled episode today, my first of the year, I hope you enjoy!

I am SO EXCITED for you all to hear this episode!

I was so grateful to get to chat to Shona about her life and career. We talked all things Eastenders- from the storylines, the love interests and the legends that graced the Square.

We also talked about how she got into acting, starting her career as a teen, and leaving to do live theatre, and why hearing Jaysus Christ in an Irish audience made her feel she was doing something right!

And we also talk about how a DM...

Episode is 2 and what a guest!

I have the amazing Joel McKinnon Miller from shows such as Big Love, the Staircase and Brooklyn 99!

We talk the acting jobs he loved and hated, and we remember the late Andre Braugher.

I hope you will enjoy this, and please subscribe, share, like and comment.

All my love!

I am BACK! That is right, season 6 is here!

I have missed recording weekly for you all so I brought an amazing guest along! The wonderful Glen Power from The Script is here to talk about how he got into music and the band, the highs and lows of being on the road, shunning fame and of course, losing Mark Sheehan last year.

Glen often stayed in the background in the band so it was wonderful to hear his thoughts, his gratitude, his fears and his feelings on so many topics.

Missed an episode this season? Well check out the best bits to see if it is worth listening back to!

Dann Florek played Captain Donald Cragen on Law &Order and SVU for years!

IMDB says he has 332 SVU episodes, 69 L&O ones and 2 Organised Crime ones, so over 400 appearances as the lovable captain.

I caught up with him for an amazing, emotional, thought provoking and insightful chat where we discussed how being bold got him into acting, the role of Dick Wolf on his career, pre-tirement and of course the cast- Mariska, Chris Meloni, Kelli Giddish, Danny Pino, Ice-T and the late...

Hear his journey from a jackaroo to one of soap's most famous stars, all while he battles a storm in Sydney ha!

Loved catching up with this legend!!
