Here it is — your daily companion podcast, hosted by Ray D’Arcy. This five-day-a-week

show is nothing new, and yet ALL NEW.

Ray has been part of Irish life in one way or another for nearly 40 years, and now he’s

bringing his lorry load of experience and nationwide popularity to a daily podcast.

He will give his own world view, Monday to Friday, and surround himself with friends of the

show; Jenny Kelly, Mairead Ronan, Bernard O’Shea and a resident psychologist.

Add to that clever interaction with people; on the phone, in cafés, on the street, wherever.

Ray will be using his name recognition to cold call, approach, interview, and chat to anybody

who will talk.


It’s the dream team back together and chomping at the bit.

Siobhán is brilliant.

She is thoughtful, funny, articulate and a real joy to talk to.

Brought up in Aherla (Population 562), Siobhán studied science in UCC before she went to London to pursue a career in acting.

She was a successful theatre actor until her world changed when she was cast by Lisa McGee in Derry Girls as the brilliantly funny and acerbic Sr. Michael.

Since then, she has proven herself, not only as a successful screen actor but also as a hugely popular front lady / presenter on The Great Pottery Throw Down and The Traitors Ireland.

In our chat Siobhán talks about the oddness, as she describes it, of  a career in acting and the safe space of the stage.

We also chat about death, mortality and her impatience with scientists for not inventing immortality.

Many of you will know Rory as Panti, his drag queen alter ego.

 Rory is an activist and an advocate for the LGBTQ+ community.

Panti’s ‘Noble Call’ at Dublin Castle on the day of the Same-Sex Marriage Referendum result was historic and her Noble Call at the Abbey got global attention.

  In our chat Rory speaks passionately about his Queen life and how the world was built for a straight Rory.

He describes beautifully how he cared for his dying father and also about confronting his own mortality in his 20s.

There is also chat about the therapeutic power of drag.

It is an uplifting conversation in which Rory’s good humour shines through.

    • Professor Katriona O’ Sullivan’s story is well known. Her book Poor has been a bestseller for over two years, and it has been translated into seven languages and adapted for the stage.

    It's a story of addiction and abuse which leads to advocacy and academia. Katriona has told her story in order to shine a light on how childhood poverty stacks the odds against future success in relationships, education and health. She believes talent is equally distributed across the social classes but opportunity is not.

    Katriona O'Sullivan is hugely impressive in so many ways. It was a real education and privilege to talk to her at length about being human and so many other things.

    Katriona speaks movingly about her life through the lens of her qualification in psychology. She explains trauma and its connection to addiction.

    She also talks about the importance of connection and the danger of meritocracy. 

    • Listener discretion is advised for this episode.*
