Left On Read
Hello and welcome to Left on Read. A weekly podcast brought to you by Instagram sensation Julie Haynes aka Twins N’ Me and TV producer Brenda Dennehy also known as Brenda’s Bits.
While Julie manages the single mom life in Cork, Brenda has crossed the Irish sea for a career in television in London. Never afraid to laugh at themselves, the hopeless romantics share their disaster dates and dilemmas after being left on read more times than they'd want to admit! While Julie has been the victim of several catfishes, Brenda once faced the humiliation of being ghosted by her very own boyfriend..of three years!
Both Cork natives, the girls will be bringing you all the best banter and topical conver...

Mind the gap - The age gap that is...
explicitHow big of an age gap is too big? Brenda reveals that she fancies a 65 year old, yet when it came to revealing her own age to Anton, she couldn't help but shave a few years off. Especially when she found out he was so much younger... Julie meanwhile tries to offer assistance to a listener who is very much in love, but at different life stages to her partner. The girls also chat about their big night out at the podcast awards and their difficulties sharing a hotel room - including their inability to use the en suite for anything more than a wee! But it's a more common concern than they thought, with lots of listeners sharing their own tales of toilet related trips to the hotel lobby and beyond. Get in touch on [email protected].

Bonus: Condoms and Cruel Name Calling
explicitIs this listener overreacting to finding a new condom in her boyfriends wallet when they don't use them? And should she be concerned about the torn edge that suggests he was in a hurry ripping it off? Julie and Brenda discuss and even take a trip down memory lane to a time when Brenda was told that a cleaner took the condoms from her boyfriends room. They also hear from a new mom who is struggling to get along with her boyfriend who ignores her and keeps calling her cranky and a grumpy bitch. Her family love him and her friends have become more distant as she's the first to have a baby which leaves her turning to Julie and Brenda for advice. Send your dilemmas to [email protected]

The best way to get over someone? Get under someone new
explicitBrenda thought her trip to Tenerife would be nice and relaxing - But little did she know what was to come! Her dreamy Italian Paulo turned into an entitled nightmare, but thankfully, one of the hotel workers, Anton, was there to lift her spirits and make sparks fly. Julie was feeling sparks too with her Tinder date, and won't make the same mistakes again so she was open with him that she'd rather he got to know her in person rather than through her online presence. All seemed to be going well until he told her she has a face like the back of the bus! Get in touch on [email protected]!
