A podcast about sisterhood (and other things)
Sections
In this week’s episode of Not Without My Sister we’re discussing eye contact – on dates, in the workplace and beyond. (Can someone please tell us: do they really teach eye contact in Templemore?! We must know.) Things we discuss include: Maureen’s, a Stoneybatter institution Star Trek: The Next Generation’s Geordi La Forge, an icon […]
Ever since Rosemary criticised Glennon Doyle on Instagram – and possibly thanks to the many mentions of her “bestselling” book, Untamed, we have been asked, several times, to discuss her on the podcast. Sadly, Beatrice is still refusing to read said book, so we broadened our horizons and decided to talk self help and self improvement […]
This week’s episode is all about pets – the agony and the ecstacy. We love them but the real question is: do they deserve it?! Things we discuss include: Deep Throat. Rosemary is referring to the seminal journalistic film, All the Presidents’ Men, while Beatrice is referring to… something else Michael D’s puppy, Misneach, steals […]
Growing up in the badlands of Kildare, Beatrice and Rosemary were big – BIG – Barbie fans. But how do they feel about the blonde bombshell now? Would they give Barbies to their kids (would that Holy God would bless them with a child who had an iota of interest in a Barbie)? And what, […]
Having established, many episodes ago, that one should NOT bring a guest when invited to a friend’s house, we’re now asking the question: what should you bring? What is good guest-iquette? Now that we’re coming out of quarantine, is our presence truly present enough – or should you never cross another’s doorway with one hand […]
No prizes for guessing who among the two of us has attempted it – and who most certainly has not. (Also, someone bring back the original Ready, Steady, Cook! okay thanks.) Things we mention include: Nailed It! and our beloved Nicole Byers Chef’s Table Masterclass, Beatrice’s top purchase of 2020 Ready, Steady, Cook! That time Holly […]
We’re talking GIGS! Way back when, pre-pandemic, pre-babies, pre- all kinds of adult responsibilities (and aching limbs), we were MAD for a gig! We talk about some of the best concerts we’ve been to, from watching drunk Scotsmen sing their hearts out in a field to truly reaching musical nirvana in a Milanese bookshop. ALSO! […]
Co-habiting with someone you love is a gift and a dream and a blessing – but what do you do with their extensive collection of Legos? And how do you cope with their intense fear of your Joanne Hynes rug?! We’ve got all* of the answers! *none of *** You can follow Rosemary on Instagram @rosemarymaccabe; Beatrice […]
We’re talking about how to get what you want at work – from a salary increase to more paid holidays, better working conditions, a senior title or just THE RESPECT YOU DESERVE! In news that will shock precisely no one, Beatrice has more insights to share than Rosemary, although Rosemary can remember several instances where […]
With the news that Ben Affleck and J Lo may (or may not) be back together, we got to thinking about the celeb couples whose relationships we love – and those whose relationships have sullied their reputations (at least in our humble estimations). *** You can follow Rosemary on Instagram @rosemarymaccabe; Beatrice is @beatricemaccabe and you’ll find us both on […]
