Brought to you by Jen and Sarah, pals who used to sit beside each other at work before their bosses intervened and they got separated for lolling non-stop around the clock.

Episode 3: Radio
Hey! You! Lock up your sun - that’s right, it’s the third installation of We Built This City. You may think it overly lofty, somewhat gregarious or downright arrogant to liken Episode Three to a work of art. Well what you don’t know ... is likely to hurt you. Pull up a plug (the ear variety) to join us and stroll down a sunny sráid as we interview the King of Soundness Joe Donnelly. Known and loved by millions (billions probably), Joe was a driving force behind Phantom FM and TXFM, before both stations lost the Battle of the Bottom Line. As you’ll hear, Joe is the ultimate gent, his passion for music and radio is contagious and THAT VOICE THO.

Episode 1: Sing Along Social
Craic expertise, Cyndi Lauper and - fear not! - a safe space from Harvey Weinstein.
Welcome to We Built This City, the world's first podcast that can boast Tupac Shakur among its ardent listeners, despite this being the first episode ever. Join Jen and Sarah for this momentous launch, in which they talk shite and music with Aoife McElwain from Sing Along Social, whose no-commitment choir provides a unique Fear removal service to anyone fortunate enough to cross her glorious path. Aoife's motto is 'press play and see what happens' which is a good analogy for what's happening right now.
For you.
So.
Soothe your weary soul on a Freddy Krueger commute, iron your underwear AND your socks AND your pocket squares to dulcet/raspy tones, jolt yourself awake with the sound of raucous lols while attempting to lull yourself to sleep - we're not fussy.
Whatever happens, remember it's Friday 13th.
A vast improvement on any Monday that ever happened, ever.
