Suddenly I Realised - A Sex and the City Podcast

Comedy EN ↓ 45 episodes

A Sex and the City Podcast in which two Irish women take a no holds barred look at the ground-breaking series that became a global phenomenon. Landing on our TV screens in 1998, it spawned 6 seasons and 2 box office hits, winning legions of fans across the globe and making icons of its stars. Now, 23 years after the first episode aired, we are casting off our rose-tinted glasses and taking another look at the show that put women and sex on the map. Does it stand the test of time? Or is something rotten in the state of New York? Have we lost the will to Carrie on?

Episodes

S3E8: The Big Time 08.05.2026

We enter the golden age of Sex and the city with chats about menopause - light years before it became the term du jour. We enjoy the era of nice Aidan. Trey continues to romance Charlotte, Samantha drops her standards, and Vanessa threatens to spit in Cynthia’s face. Meanwhile, subscribe to our patreon for just one month, go on, give us a fiver! 

BONUS And Just Like That S3 Ep 01 - Outlook Good 21.11.2025

Normally reserved for our patrons only, we've decided to give you a present of an episode of our reaction to And Just Like That! For more delightful AJLT bashing, join us at patreon.com/suddenlyirealised

S3E7: Drama Queens 05.09.2025

We don't know if we gave you our best here, dear listener, having given our all to our Patreon patrons, but you get what you pay for. In our latest comeback, Carrie can't handle the no drama life, Charlotte applies biz skills to dating, Samantha rides as ever, and Miranda gets cosy with Steve. Maz and Vag have a bun

S3E6: Are We Sluts? 27.02.2025

Are we sluts? We know we are but what are you? Poor Carrie can’t get her hole, hates dogs and has daddy issues. Vag and Maz make a sneaky cameo in Sam’s apartment building, Miranda picks up a little something, and good old C-plot Charlotte’s fella has a filthy mouth

S3E5: No Ifs, Ands or Butts 31.12.2024

Happy New Year party people, surpriiiiise, we're back! As we emerge from under our troll-bridge, we learn that Samantha can speak jive. Charlotte gets licked, and Miranda treads carelessly all over Steve's dreams. Aidan makes his first appearance, failing to notice Carrie's collection of red flags flapping in his face.

S3E4: Boy, Girl, Boy, Girl 01.06.2024

Tag from Friends turns up in this episode, in which Carrie displays some of the 90s homophobia we knew and ignored. More importantly, Alanis Morisette is the antithesis to Geri Halliwell as she under-acts a storm in this cameo. Charlotte dresses up as a boy, and nobody but Samantha knows what the world is coming to! Maz and Vag eat grapes.

S3E3: Attack of the Five Foot Ten Woman 22.01.2024

As Vag and Maz can’t help but wonder what horrors 2024 will have in store for them, they at least get to experience the joy of Magda’s first ever episode and the delight of Pocket Coffee. Carrie’s obsession with Natasha is more concerning than her obsession with Big, Charlotte York has a very Irish side to her, and Kevin the masseuse needs his stupid eyes checked. 

CHRISTMAS BONUS Would You Rather - a Patreon exclusive 22.12.2023

We are SO generous. The patrons got to hear this already but now the rest of the plebs get a listen. We made the hard choices in this episode, in which we discovered that Vanessa fancies Donald Trump, Mary has a thing for King Chuck, and everyone likes Melania. 

S3E2: Politically Erect 07.12.2023

Speaking of erect, Vag and Maz decide which Irish politician they might boink. Leo Varadkar obviously but he wouldn't have us. We realise that Steve is the only character we've ever truly cared about, and Carrie is a law unto herself. Handsome politico Bill Kelly reveals an interesting sexual peccadillo, which of course Carrie handles in typically adult fashion...

S3E1: Where There's Smoke 30.10.2023

We don’t know if this episode is about firemen or fairy tales. The gals deign leave Manhattan for an hour or two, Carrie finds herself a handsome politician to fill Big’s shoes, and Samantha diddles a firefighter. Meanwhile, we learn that Mary likes to waste the resources of Ireland’s bravest when she cuts her knee, Vanessa wants to be rescued, and we all want Channing Tatum.

S2E18: Ex and the City 07.10.2023

It’s the season finale! We learn what happened when Mary got Mauwied. Maz and Vag are both disgusted by Miranda’s behaviour when she’s mean to Steve, and we realise that Beyoncé has a flaw. Meanwhile, Charlotte rides a horse, Carrie IS a horse, and Samantha’s boyfriend is hung like a horse.

S217: Twenty-Something Girls vs Thirty-Something Women 13.09.2023

It's woman vs woman on this episode, and that's just our Maz and Our Vag. The writers would have us believe that the gals go on holidays by bus. They would also have us believe that Samantha would take guff from an upstart underling. We meet Natasha for the first time, thus bringing ol' Big back to us

Samantha Jones's return - a reaction in voicenotes 26.08.2023

Ahead of our full episode recap over on Patreon, we share here our first voicenotes to each other as Kim Cattrall made her triumphant return to the Sex and the City universe. Appearing for 70 seconds or so in the And Just Like That Season 2 Finale, Kim stole the show, and our hearts.

S216: Was it Good for You? 11.08.2023

Up to date, as ever, with current cultural references, Maz and Vag discuss the recent coronation of King Charles III. Charlotte puts her fella to sleep, Carrie destroys her fella's sobriety, and Samantha is the obvious choice for a threesome with David & David. All is overshadowed by the tantric session. Miranda doesn't really have a story, but does take a load on her face, so there is...

BONUS And Just Like That S2 Ep01 - Met Cute 30.07.2023

We said we'd do a quick react, and instead whiled away almost two hours. Prepare yourself for the most awkward nudey scene ever as Miranda embraces physical comedy. We meet the most boring love interest in Handsome Producer. Anthony is horribly mistreated, and all roads lead to the Met Ball. This And Just Like That reaction episode is on the house, for the rest of the season go to patreon.com/...

Samantha Jones is BACK baby! 01.06.2023

We can't quite believe our little ears and eyes. Kim Cattrall will reprise her role as Samantha in And Just Like That, and Vag and Maz are beside themselves. We capture our joy herein...

S215: Shortcomings 31.05.2023

We bring you up-to-date references such as the Dalai Lama’s faux pas, Joe Biden’s visit to Ireland, and the April birthday of Vanessa’s brother. In New York City, the gals experience various nightmares. Miranda pulls a single dad to the world’s most obnoxious child. Mary replaces her father with Liam Neeson, and we learn that Vanessa’s worst nightmare is a summer’s day. Meanwhile, Justin Theroux r...

S214: The Fuck Buddy 21.04.2023

Vag and Maz are reunited after illness forced them apart for a whole month. We steal content from The Two Johnnies. We suddenly realised that, unlike Vogue and Joanne, we are poor and need your money. Clark Gable the dog does smelly rudies. We discover that Vanessa actually invented Milf Manor and Mary should be a psychologist. As for Sex and the City, this episode heralds the return of #poorskipp...

S213: Games People Play 05.04.2023

This week your host Maz is drowning in smugness as she announces she’s set to get Mauid! Carrie insults Gloria Gaynor, as does Mary. Carrie finally gets Big out of her system forevs - JK! John Bon Jovi makes the second most iconic cameo in the series. We realised that good friends should listen to friends complain about their breakups, and that Vanessa has a mysterious pre-existing relationship wi...

S212: La Douleur Exquise! 09.03.2023

For your listening pleasure this week, please enjoy Vanessa's sexy voice due to having a cold. We realised this many years ago, but it's always worth mentioning that Sex and the City is NOTHING without Stanford Blatch. Delightful as ever, he paves the way for the rest of us in finding romance online. In other unsurprising news, Big is a big dickhead, Carrie thinks speaking French means putting 'le...

S211: Evolution 25.01.2023

Miranda insists going to the doctor is ‘humiliating’. Charlotte gets herself a nice gay boyfriend. Big is a big dope as per and won’t let Carrie keep anything at his place, and Samantha plots revenge on an old flame. Vag and Maz plot to hunt SJP down in Donegal, and we suddenly realise that it’s better to have a doorman than a husband.

S210: The Caste System 08.01.2023

Ok fine this may be late but we realised this week that we're our own bosses so can do whatever we like! Big gives Carrie a gross purse and not much else, with the L-Word on the table. Leading us to be reminded of the fine line between tack and chic.  Samantha encounters a worthy foe in Sum, and love guru Vanessa informs us that the best relationships are the ones where you don’t truly know t...

CHRISTMAS BONUS Sex and the Town - a Patreon exclusive 21.12.2022

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals! Never ever say we don't give you anything. In this sneak peak into the world of our Patreon channel, Auntie Vag and Auntie Maz solve your dating dilemmas. For more of our boundless wisdom, sign up at patreon.com/suddenlyirealised

S209: Old Dogs, New Dicks 07.12.2022

We realised that Charlotte would make a man butcher himself to be more like a daschund than a sharpei. Miranda might actually be a bigger geebag than you know who, and it turns out Steve was a bit of a catch all along. Big, on the other hand, skilfully creates the illusion that he can change. We also suddenly realised that if you really love us you’ll catch all our amazing bonus content on patreon...

S208: The Man, the Myth, the Viagra 09.11.2022

We discovered that Vanessa thought she was American until she was 7. We realised that ageism is alive and well and yet to be challenged. We found out that Donald Trump is a better actor than Geri Horner nee Halliwell, and it comes as a massive surprise that an old man has the butt of an old man.
