Episode 49: True Crime, No Punishment
Beatrice loves CSI and Law & Order, while Rosemary is a champion of the true crime podcast (while simultaneously being a hypocrite about Karen and Georgia needing some pandemic-related time off). Where do you sit on the crime scale – and is there anyone out there who absolutely loves it all?! Things we mention include: […]

Episode 48: To Complain is Human (and the Ketchup WAS Disappointing)
To complain – quietly, and only to one’s dining companion – is inherently Irish, but to make a fuss and complain TO the establishment itself?! Unheard of! Luckily, a few short months in the US and Rosemary has almost entirely forgotten any Irish tendencies she once had, and is happy to complain, willy-nilly, about anything […]

Episode 47: In the Eye of the Beholder
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 […]

46 – Self-Help Books We Loved (And Hated) – Yes, it’s the Glennon Doyle Episode
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 […]

Episode 45: The Great Political Pets vs Pests Debate
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 […]

Episode 44: In a Barbie World
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, […]

Minisode #35 – Do We Even Remember How to be a Good Guest?!
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 […]

Episode 43: What Foods Have You Been TOTALLY Put Off by Years of Dieting?
We’re talking about the numerous diet foods – or diet-adjacent foods – that we have been put off by the numerous diets we’ve been on over the years. Thank crunchie we never fell for that cayenne pepper / maple syrup madness, let us tell you!We would love to know which diet foods now fill YOU […]

Minisode 34: Have You Ever Made Anything From a Cookery Show?!
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 […]

Episode 42: What do Xtina, Bjork and U2 Have in Common?
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! […]
