Roddy Doyle

Chatting to Roddy Doyle felt like sitting down with an uncle you have known your whole life, but never properly gotten to know. He talked to me about his Christian Brother school days, how easy it is to dodge the public eye and gave his (very lovely) answer to “if laughter wasn’t the best medicine, what would be?”. His latest novel ‘The Women Behind The Door’, which is published by Hachette, is available in all good book shops.

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains conversation on the theme of corporal punishment.

Charleen Murphy & Ellie Kelly

I say it on the podcast and I'll say it here. These girls keep me young. I adore following Charleen and Ellie's journeys on instagram and so simply had to have them on the podcast. The girls host Hold My Drink podcast and are two of Ireland's most successful social media personalities. They are bright, bubbly and beautiful...the triple threat! But most of all, they are both so refreshingly relatable. I think you will love them.

Laura Whitmore

My guest this week is the one and only, Laura Whitmore. I got to sit down with Laura in The Olympia Theatre during her run of '2.22 A Ghost Story' during the Summer. She is as bubbly and beautiful in person as you might expect. I had never met Laura but it felt like I had. She's that kind of girl. She talked to me about growing up in Bray, how "the show must go on" even in the toughest of times and her the surprising place she first shifted her husband, Iain Stirling. I hope you enjoy!

Donncha O'Callaghan

Ahh, Donners. What a JOY to have Donncha O'Callaghan back on The Laughs of your Life! It has been 5 years (and 1 week) since his first appearance on the podcast. Little did we know in 2019 that we were about to work together - full time - for 3 years. '2fm Breakfast with Doireann, Donncha and Carl' may have come to an end earlier this year, but the bond we all built lives on. Donncha is currently flat out on the promo trail for his new children's book 'Disaster Dad' (available now in all good book shops), so I thought I would use the opportunity to nab him for a catch up. I hope you enjoy!

Dawn O'Porter

To me, Dawn O'Porter is the perfect personification of the London girl I always wanted to be. Lol - cringe - but true! She is smart, cool, hilarious, a diehard lover of the tube and a total woman's woman. It was such a joy to chat to her this week. She told me all about life since making the move from LA back to London with her husband (TLOYL alumnus Chris O'Dowd) and kids, her dear friend Caroline Flack, "writing her way out of" money problems and her love for her exceptionally loyal readers.
Her new book Honeybee is published by HarperCollins and is out now!

Joe Canning

Hurling legend and proud Galway man Joe Canning is my guest this week. I’m so grateful to Joe for his honesty and vulnerability. Lots of light and shade in this one! He talked to me about manifesting his way to sporting greatness, dealing with the loss of his beloved Mam Josephine and the journey to welcoming his beautiful baby Josie. I really hope you enjoy it. Joe’s book ‘Joe Canning: My Story’ is out now.

Cecelia Ahern

We all know and love 'PS. I Love You'... but 'Where Rainbows End' is the one that got me. I read it over Christmas in 2004 and sobbed like I had never sobbed before. Fast forward to 2020 when I asked Cecelia Ahern to be a guest on the podcast. She sent a reply that said something like "thank you, yes...but not yet". Fast forward to October 2024. We made it! Worldwide bestselling author Cecelia talked to me about growing up with a politician Dad, her very relatable spray tan disaster and her blossoming author daughter (called Blossom!). I hope you love it.

Garron Noone

Season 10 begins with a bang! It’s TikTok and instagram sensation (that phrase is thrown around but we really mean it) Garron Noone. He talked to me about the sister he first spoke to two weeks ago, the cougars sliding into his DM's & his death row banquet.

Ryan Tubridy

Ryan Tubridy was my guest on the Season 1 finale of The Laughs of Your Life. Four years and eight seasons later, I think it’s safe to say that A LOT has changed for Virgin Radio UK’s brand new presenter. Which is why I asked him to come back as my Season 9 finale guest. He talked to me about running out of juice as the host of the Late Late show, his taxi ride to the Oireachtas Hearing, and the joys of being a ghost in London.

Eoin McGee

You might have seen him on Instagram or his RTÉ TV shows divvying out money advice - Eoin McGee is the financial planner who has been on a mission to teach Irish people How to Be Good With Money and it was great fun to have him as my guest on today's show! He chatted to me about surviving the life-threatening fall that left him with a brain bleed, how he and his brothers honoured his Dad’s memory with a special glass of whiskey, and the first memory of laughter that involved him pissing on his friend’s head!

Pat Spillane

From his appearances on the Sunday Game before his recent retirement, Pat Spillane became a voice and face of Irish life as familiar as Bosco or Anne Doyle! But he's much more than the crank on the couch as I came to find out. He talked to me about growing up with a pub as a playground, the mountain he had to climb to woo his wife Rosarii, and how he has managed to live his entire life without having to cook, clean, or change a nappy. 😬🤯
