Minisode #13: Are You More FOMO or JOMO?!
To stay in – or to go out? (This is a perennial question, and more to do with one’s philosophy in life than anything else – i.e. we know no one can go out right now. IT’S A PANDEMIC! Stay in, stay safe, happy Christmas xo) You can follow Rosemary on Instagram @rosemarymaccabe; Beatrice is @beatricemaccabe and you’ll […]

22: Christmas Time! Mistletoe and Wine!
What makes a Christmas tradition? How do you know what to compromise on, when it comes to creating new traditions with a new family? (In other words, how can you just make everyone want to do the things that YOU want to do, at the most wonderful time of the year?! HERE ARE OUR THOUGHTS! […]

Minisode #12: What Makes a Good Christmas Present?
We know, we know – we promised you our full rundown of Wild Mountain Thyme, surely a shoo-in for Best Picture at next year’s Academy Awards. Alas and alack, with the news that WMT wasn’t going to be released in the UK and Ireland for a few weeks yet, we thought we’d wait and bring […]

Minisode #11: Wild Mountain Thyme – The Trailer!
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 […]

21: A Puffer Fish Skeleton is a Better Weapon Than You’d Think
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 […]

Minisode #10: Let’s Talk About Sex (Books)
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 […]

20: Pride Cometh Before a Fall
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 […]

Minisode #9: What’s in a Name?
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 […]

19: Romantic Gestures
What is a romantic gesture? Are they EVER really romantic? What’s the most romantic thing we’ve ever done – and what’s the most romantic thing we’ve had done unto us? We get into marriage proposals, talking teddy bears, bunches of flowers being delivered to work AND MORE in this no-holds-bars look at that ol’ chestnut: […]

Minisode #8: In Da Club
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 […]
