Instagram sensation Julie Haynes, aka Twins N’ Me and TV producer Brenda Dennehy, also known as Brenda’s Bits, co-host the podcast Left On Read – a fun and informative show that explores the world of online dating, where they offer insights and tips on everything from creating a profile to navigating the first date, while also sharing their own experiences . . .

While Julie manages the single mom life in Cork, Brenda has crossed the Irish sea for a career in television in London. Never afraid to laugh at themselves, the hopeless romantics share their disaster dates and dilemmas after being left on read more times than they’d want to admit . . .

Stand Up comedians Deirdre O’Kane and Emma Doran discuss what delights them, bewilders them, enrages them, and everything in between. No topic is out of bounds from the highest brow to the lowest pelvic floor.

‘Keep It Tight’ promises a night of laughter and wit as Deirdre O’Kane and Emma Doran share their comedic insights and sharp banter. Their friendship was recently cemented when they both took part in the no. 1 Amazon Prime show ‘LOL Last one Laughing Ireland’ presented by Graham Norton.

Blindboy’s increased notability away from his band Rubberbandits, has allowed for him to explore wider avenues and create perhaps outrageously mind-altering brainchildren which can only be described as courageous, yet bonkers.

With a number one selling book under his belt and a podcast that has reached interest not only in Ireland but internationally, the satirist could possibly single-handedly change people’s mind set on mental health and the deafening stigma it surrounds.

The Blindboy podcast has now exceeded 40 million listeners and is global . His recent UK tour Sold out & he was nominated for four awards at the Irish podcast awards .

Outspoken, informed and empathetic, Blindboy engages his audience with an unusual touch of realism. There is a very authentic feeling of “freedom” Mr Boatclub exudes which allows his listeners and participants to openly speak their mind without judgement and no topic off limits – certainly, an air of belonging encircling the space you find yourself in when listening or in company of Blindly.

His latest innovative creation, The Blindboy Podcast does not only indoctrinates mental health issues but reaches further into a wide spectrum of current topics, may it be gun laws, feminism, racism or a bit of history. Blindboy has it covered.
