Entertainment Catch-Up: The Met Gala, Kendrick vs. Drake and the Powerful Charisma of Derek Blasberg
Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!
It feels a little weird to talk about the fluff and frippery of the world of entertainment in the context of what's happening in Rafah but this is the entertainment episode so that's what Cian Sullivan and I did. We discussed the Met Gala, the Kendrick vs. Drake hip hop beef, Jeff Goldblum's children's inheritance, and the mysterious allure of non-famous celebrity magnets like Derek Blasberg.

Catch Up with Dr. Catherine Baker on Online Misogyny
*Send your thoughts, opinions and feedback via voicenote to 0892096423*
Many of you sent me the recent research by DCU's Anti-Bullying Centre which shone a light on the way anti-feminist, misogynistic content ends up on young men's social media fees. I really wanted to hear more about the research and to learn more about the origins of this kind of content as well as what we can do to help the boys in our life falling prey to it, so I was delighted to chat to lead researcher Dr. Catherine Baker of DCU's Anti-Bullying Centre.

Customer Reviews
A must-listen for Irish expats!!
I listen every week & love the format of the show. Helps keep me up to date on news that is so easy to miss being in Australia (almost 13 years). Love Louise & all her contributors & regulars ❤️
Great podcast
What a great podcast ! I look forward to listening every week . Living in Perth 16 yrs but love catching up with all the news and politics from home and hearing yourself and Aoife’s take on events . Brilliant 👏🏻
Thank You!
Louise, I cannot say thank you enough for this. As an Irish woman living in Melbourne with a newborn this is the only way I’m keeping up with the news back home and also the general news worldwide. (I’m not on social media) Yourself and Aoife crack me up every week too.
Thanks so much!
