Our Swan Song

After four wonderful years of episodes, we at Spice Bags are bowing out. While we do announce this with a heavy heart, we – Blanca, Dee, and Mei – wish to end on a high after publishing our very own cookbook Blasta Books 5: Soup, and at a moment when we are still passionate about the issues Spice Bags has uncovered, and the individuals we have befriended. In this final episode, we recount our journey from its foundation to our many varied episodes over the years, and to our many adventures and achievements including winning Best Food Podcast 2021 from the Irish Food Writing Awards. Lastly, we’d like to take this opportunity to give special thanks to the HeadStuff Podcast Network. HeadStuff took a gamble on three unseasoned women in the podcast world. They hatched us! Over the years, the team nurtured and gave us the confidence and tools to craft ourselves into what we are today. A special shout out to Conor, Paddy, Gearóid, Claudia and Amy, who would always find time to sit down to edit and brainstorm, come up with PR strategies, and take us through the nuts & bolts of podcast tech. Thank you, HeadStuff for letting us into your family. It’s been a privilege.

Through Love with Julie Jay

My guest this week on the Season 1 finale of Everybody Is A Poem is comedian and writer Julie Jay. I read Julie a new poem 'Through Love' and with natural generosity, warmth and humour, Julie talks falling in love, getting the shift in the smoking section and marriage. "I think love is in the granular when you're married" Julie tells me about her fascination with Britney Spears and her current live show 'Oops This Is Toxic' , the funniest show she has ever done. It's "comedy with an edge" she says. We chat about her parenting column , the value of writing honestly about being a mammy, and the power in finding your own voice. Come and listen to me and Julie wherever you get your podcasts. And while I take a short break to work on book number 2 and season 2, you can catch up on all of season 1 at https://headstuffpodcasts.com/show/everybody-is-a-poem Stay tuned though for a very special Behind The Lines Learn more about your ad choices.
