When the trailer for 2021 Oscar nominee (and probably winner) Wild Mountain Thyme spread like wildfire around Irish Twitter, we just knew we’d have to talk about it on the podcast – and talk about it we did! Catch our reaction to the trailer right here, right now – and come back on Dec 18th […]
It’s our 21st birthday! Here we are, lining up, just waiting to have the head kissed off us! This week we chat PARTIES – ours, other people’s, good parties, bad parties, good party guests, bad party guests and why you should never, EVER invite Rosemary over. She’ll eat all your bread, bring three random friends […]
From Our Bodies, Ourselves to Judy Blume’s Forever, our favourite books during adolescence have something VERY obvious in common. But what else did we read, over and over again? What book would we recommend to the young ‘uns today? And does Rosemary have an original thought in her head? So many questions. You can follow […]
Oh, and fall we have. In this episode, we – sisters Beatrice Mac Cabe and Rosemary Mac Cabe, Kildare natives who’ve upped sticks to live in the American Midwest – discuss all the many times their bodies have betrayed them by, er, falling over: breaking limbs, splitting noses and ruining any chance of romance on […]
Everywhere we go, people always ask us – how DID your Mum and Dad come up with those stunningly original and perfectly appropriate names? (Who HASN’T seen a tiny baby and thought, she looks like a Beatrice?) So we’re answering that burning question in this week’s minisode. You can follow Rosemary on Instagram @rosemarymaccabe; Beatrice is @beatricemaccabe and […]

A follower suggested that we talk about Ireland’s best nightclub – so we began speaking about nightclubs and, er, well… What are YOUR memories of Irish country nightclubs? Have you, like Beatrice, been turned away due to your unconvincing fake ID? Have you, like Rosemary, committed identity theft in order to dupe the bouncers into […]
In this thrilling, stunning, amazing new episode of Not Without My Sister, we’re talking all about birth: the how of it, the why of it and the never-again of it, with actual examples from four real-life birth experiences from Beatrice, while Rosemary speculates wildly, sharing her bizarre theories related to C-sections and maternity leave. The […]
A few weeks ago we answered a follower’s question: what are your favourite things about one another? Well, Beatrice would like to revise her answer… You can follow Rosemary on Instagram @rosemarymaccabe; Beatrice is @beatricemaccabe and you’ll find us both on the podcast Instagram @notwithoutmysister. Our Facebook page is here! For show notes, sporadic blog posts and assorted random things […]
Can you keep a secret? Can we? And what’s the difference between keeping a secret – and telling a convincing lie? We’re chatting about all of the secrets we’ve kept (or not kept), and wondering what our ability (or inability) to keep schtum says about us. *** Demi Lovato and Max Ehrich have broken up! […]
