Everywhere We Go

Some stories open like a wound and heal like a lesson. Marguerite Penrose sits with us to share a life that began in a mother and baby home, moved into a home filled with fierce love, and kept moving through surgeries, paralysis at eight, and a near-fatal respiratory collapse years later. What emerges isn’t a tidy triumph, but a living definition of resilience: a stubborn will to keep going, a fam...

A single decision—to pull a car door handle and run—sets off one of the most gripping escapes you’ll ever hear. We sit with Louise as she retraces the path from a locked room in Idlib to a dawn balcony in Beirut, carrying her six-year-old daughter through checkpoints, betrayals, and a night march over mined mountains. The story moves fast and stays close to the ground: a blue-eyed taxi driver who...

The morning starts like any other—school uniform ready, hairbrush forgotten, a small smile over a shoulder—and then the phone goes dead. When it rings again, the tone is international and the message lands like a verdict: you will never see her again. That’s the moment everything Louise has survived—childhood sexual abuse, the sudden loss of her mother, a fragile marriage, and the slow tightening...

A friendship forged under the Five Lamps can survive anything—pram‑shed raves, vigilante marches, a brief spin with pop fame, and the kind of silence that follows postnatal psychosis. We sit with Kathy, Beverly, and Olive to trace how a tight Dublin 1 community turned inner‑city chaos into structure and joy: Sister Veronica’s youth club, wild trips to Sherkin Island, open‑air discos with extension...

Stories don’t come much truer than Peggy’s. We sit down with a woman who grew up fast as the eldest daughter in a family of ten, crossed Dublin’s invisible river from southside to northside, and carried both duty and defiance in the same pair of hands. She takes us from coal cupboards and convent corridors to maxis on the dancefloor, from ledgers at Easons to late nights at the Blind Beggar, where...

A tiny estate can hold an entire world. We open up about growing up in the courts—where neighbours watched your back, aunties’ coins bought sovereigns and sweets, and freedom stretched from the green to the last bus home. It’s a fast, funny, and raw tour through the memories that made us: first babysitting gigs at fourteen, silver van shop runs, drama clubs and John Player Toppers, idol crushes an...

Going forward in a world with new buzz words like fluid situations, the new normal and we remain cautious, a time where so many people are looking for the answers to the big questions. In the Everywhere We Go podcast I am simply asking you to look back, relive past moments from your childhood,  tell your stories, share your memories, perhaps it will lead you to rekindle lost friendships. Grow...
