Doireann and Friends

Our final episode! It's been a mini series of Doireann and Friends, have a listen to this episode where I explain why.

The Laughs Of Your Life podcast is BACK - 1st September 2025. See you then!! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more inform...

Welcome back! The one and only Aisling Bonner joins me on Doireann and Friends today. It's been a whopper year for the breakfast radio queen and so I thought it was about time we had a proper catch up. I also give an update on life and podcast plans. I hope you enjoy the listen! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I’m back in the land of the living (having missed the heatwave, raging) and back with Allison Keating, too. Another Doireann and Friends OG! We talk about the differences between post natal anxiety and post natal depression, “Skinny Tok” and how to navigate sticky sibling conversations. Follow Allison on Instagram - @thepractical.psychologist. For enquiries regarding therapy, you can email  b...

Greetings from Nice! The beauty of being able to pack the microphone, a fantastic perk! Before heading away, I sat down with my great old friend and confidante, Carl Mullan. We chat almost daily via WhatsApp but a catch up face to face was way overdue. We caught up on all that we’ve been up to since working together and Carl got refreshingly candid about life as a parent. I hope you love it. ...

Welcome back. We go again! Thank you for the feedback to last week's episode. It is so good to be podcasting again and your messages make it all the better. This week I am joined by Trisha Lewis - aka @trishastransformation on social media. I just love chatting to her. Every time I meet her, she is even more honest, raw and hilarious than the last time. Her episode of The Laughs of your...

Doireann and Friends Season 3…here we go! There’s a whole lot to catch up on since last year. What better person to do it with than my sister and fellow pregnant pal, Ailbhe Garrihy. We chat all about the rollercoaster that is pregnancy, how mad it is to be doing it together, hospital hiccups, newborn ups and downs, the inevitable Mom guilt and so much more.  Hosted on Acast.

It's the Season 2 Finale! Thank you, sincerely, for all of the love this season. It means so much. I thought it would be nice to wrap it up with a chat with my Mom, Clare. We had the loveliest trip to Spain recently and I managed to twist her arm into coming back on the podcast (she was a nervous wreck last year!). I hope you enjoy. Catch you when The Laughs Of Your Life returns this Sep...

Doireann and Friends listeners! You have connected hugely with Allison Keating and so this week, she answers two listener questions. Aisling Bonner is back with our final Doireann and Foes of the season. Enjoy!  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

As I type this, Bonjour! A European adventure has commenced for Mark and I but it’s biz as usual for Doireann and Friends. It was a joy to catch up with the legend that is Dermot Whelan for this week’s episode. He is just a hilarious, humble, happy human! I think there is so much to gain from listening to him, and know you’ll love it. The icon that is Pamela Joyce brings us her final Pam Readings...

We’re 3/4s of the way there! HOW?! This season is flying which can only be a good sign. On this week’s episode I chat about the 3 things that drove me mad this week. I know, a Monday rant is a negative start but I needed this vent! The fabulous Samantha Barry joins me to update me on all things Glamour (yes, a capital G) in NYC including her apartment purchase and her Met Gala insider info. Aislin...

The time has come to bite the bullet and book an adventure. I chat a bit about it today before chatting to Brian Dowling - 10 days after he and Arthur welcomed beautiful baby Blu. The one and only Pamela Joyce is back for Pam Readings too. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

My love for a Spanish pharmacy knows no bounds. It’s a niche topic, I know, but I’ve fallen hard for them since last week. Also if you’re heading away this Summer, I have some tips for you at the start of this week’s ep! Clémentine MacNeice talks all things styling; her love for it, how she got into it and what we should all do to look our very best. Allison Keating is back to answer a listener qu...

I’m writing this episode description from Spain…as smug as can be. Last time I was here if rained for 11 days (have I mentioned that) so being here in sunshine, with my Mom, is heavenly. This week I’m joined by the fabulous Vicki Notaro - best selling debut novelist of 2024 if you don’t mind! We talk reality tv, taking life leaps and lots more. Aisling Bonner is back with Doireann and Foes. It’s a...

I say this at the start of the ep and I’ll say it again! Thank you so much for all of the love this season. The pod is growing and growing in listeners which means you’re liking, sharing, even loving this season! So thank you so much. This week I chat being back to the gym and being on the bridesmaid dresses hunt. I’m joined by the BEAUTIFUL (inside and out) Katja Mia and the one and only Pamela J...

Episode 4. Welcome back! I’ve been loving following Grainne Gallanagh on instagram. She has been living in Oz for just over a year working a FIFO (Fly In Fly Out) job and I needed to hear all. I strongly advice you watch her reels on Insta before listening to the episode…she rocks the uniform but the flies?! HELL. Allison Keating is back and our listener question today is about overcoming the fear...

June glorious June. Time for a brand new start and I’m so excited. Another Doireann and Friends OG is back and this time, it’s my fabulous sister Ailbhe! We talk wedding planning and Ailbhe’s dos and don’ts (if my sister can’t tell it to me straight, who can?!). Hairstylist to the stars (Mariah, Adele, Kim…as you do) Andrew Fitzsimons talks to me about his life in LA and styling the hair of some o...

Welcome back! THANK YOU for the love last week. It’s so good to be back in the swing of podcasting. Time for Episode 2, woo! Charleen Murphy is my friend this week. What a gorgeous gal, in every sense of the word. We chatted about influencing, TikTok hate, victim blaming and so much more. Our resident girlo Aisling Bonner joins me and proposes the concept of Doireann and Foes. I think you’ll enjoy...

I am so excited for this new season of Doireann and Friends! Old friends, new friends, new set…it’s all happening.  Pam is back and because we haven't had a proper catch up in ages, there was quite a lot to get through. I wanted to hear about her first couple holiday and she wanted to hear about how Mark managed to surprise me with his proposal (I don’t actually know if she wanted to hea...

Donncha’s back (by, genuinely, popular demand). With the men’s Rugby World Cup on the horizon, he gave us some useful conversation starters tailor-made for those jumping on the rugby bandwagon. We’ve all done it! And Eugene Garrihy joins us to chat about his recent BBQ emergency, the unique magic of the Irish pub and his much sought after views of the world. I’m convinced he’s waited this long so...

Siobhan Byrne from BodyByrne Gym dropped by to talk about ways people can create healthy habits around the food they eat and exercise.

*Finally*, Donncha O’Callaghan makes his Doireann and Friends debut! He reckons he was behind Bertie in the pecking order to appear on the show (I won’t lie it was a toss up). And Clare is back for some mother/daughter reminiscing some of which is cringeworthy! Doireann and Friends is brought to you by F&F Fashion at Tesco. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Pamela Joyce was in and we chatted about how the sex ed she got in Galway, and I got in Dublin, was actually pretty similar - confusing, vague and awkward. 😳 And Allison Keating is in to advise a listener whose friend group has begun to splinter with the arrival of other halves and kids.
