Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!
Over on Patreon recently, we were discussing chatting to children about difficult topics and Sarah Sproule's name came up. Sarah is an incredible educator when it comes to sex and relationships, and how and when to approach them with children. I often check in with her instagram page and website when I'm confused on these matters, and was delighted that she agreed to chat with me for the podcast so we could all benefit from her expertise!

Catch-Up on Drugs with Nicki Killeen
Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!
This week's interview is with Nicki Killeen, who is HSE Project Manager on emerging drug trends, harm reduction and nightlife. I met Nicki this week after following her work in the drugs sector for years, and was so impressed by her passion for harm reduction when it comes to drugs, as well as her vast knowledge of drug culture and trends in Ireland and beyond. I knew you guys would be interested in learning about how drug culture has changed, and what the HSE is doing to keep people safe in nightlife in Ireland, so I was delighted she agreed to a chat.

Customer Reviews
Best Irish Podcast
I listened to Louise religiously when she was on RTÈ 2FM because she always had the best music taste and introduced fantastic new Irish artists on her show. Naturally, I tuned in when she started her new podcast.
With Catch Up, Louise has really carved out her own unique space in the oversaturated podcast world, making an avid podcast listener like me tune in every week and now every day (with the new format) that she uploads. Catch Up is the only podcast I never miss or skip. Informative, funny and entertaining with fabulous guests and experts, Catch Up is probably (at least in my opinion) the best podcast out right now.
5 stars
