Caroline O'Donoghue on Sex in the City, phone calls that don't change your life and why Irish writers are everywhere right now
5 September 2023 - 1 hour 8 minsJoining Kelly-Anne Taylor in the studio this week, is the author and journalist, Caroline O’Donoghue. In 2018, Caroline launched the podcast Sentimental Garbage – with the tagline, Justice for dumb women. What started out as a chick-lit podcast – grew into a podcast that celebrated guilty pleasures – deep-diving, unpicking, examining everything from Gilmore Girls to Little Women to Taylor Swift. In this episode, Caroline discusses how she’s got a lot of mileage out of her comfort TV Sex in the City and how she reacted when she had the rug pulled out from under her feet. Plus, we talk about her latest novel, The Rachel Incident.
