What a pleasure to chat to Shane Daniel Byrne this week ahead of the launch of his new podcast which looks back at the journey towards the marriage equality referendum which was won ten years ago this month. We discuss the podcast and lots more, including his performance origin story, nerves, and his time shooting a new series for RTE. I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed the conversation!

There was lots for Carl Kinsella and I to discuss this week, from the new pope to the continued horrors in Gaza. I'm not going to lie, I snapped in the middle of this recording, which means there's a little more colourful language than usual.

The word 'skort' did not know what hit it this week as it became the most used word in Ireland, thanks to the Dublin and Kilkenny camogie teams wearing shorts as protest at the Leinster Camogie Final last weekend. It felt only right to talk to Aisling Maher, one of those leading the charge in relation to the LUDICROUS and ANTEQUATED rule which dictates that women and girls must wear skirts or skorts to play the fast-paced, highly physical game. I learned a lot, and some of it left me open-mouthed in shock.
