Around The World in 80 Gays

Alas listeners - the end is here. This is the final episode of Around The World in 80 Gays for now and maybe forever. Regardless, we've had the pleasure of spending time with some great Irish LGBTQ+ icons and we feel so lucky that we now have this unique audio captured. For this last episode, we pushed the boat out and decided to invite multiple guests on to the podcast. Bertie Ahern dropped in, as did Miriam O’Callaghan, Senator David Norris and the late Gay Byrne even managed to contact us from beyond the beyonds too. Other star turns include Graham Norton, An Taoiseach Leo Vradkar and oh yes - Mario Rosenstock. In this episode Mario talked about his special relationship with his grandmother, his love of George Michael, taking risks and Roy Keane. Thanks to you all for listening and spending time travelling around the world - in 80 gays (+ Marion Rosenstock) with us. Love, Brian and Katherine.

Our main guests last week were writer and performer Eilish O'Carroll and her partner Marian O'Sullivan. We loved chatting to them and reflect on our conversation in this snack side bonus episode. Thanks for listening!

On this week’s episode we are joined by actress, writer and comedian Eilish O’Carroll and her partner Marian O’Sullivan. Eilish starred as Winnie McGoodgan in a show you might have heard of - Mrs. Brown’s Boys - a BAFTA and IFTA award winning production but has performed all over Ireland and the UK - she even did a spin on Dancing with The Stars in 2019. Welcome to the podcast Eilish and Marian!
