    The Craic in Kerry with Tadhg & Derry!

    This month’s episode is brought to you from Ireland’s most famous kitchen – the place where it all began for Tadhg and Derry Fleming! Ireland’s favourite father and son duo sit down for an exclusive chat with Jen, shortly after the birth of Tadhg’s baby girl. The social media stars chat about the new addition to the family, the challenges and hopes of being a new dad, and the joys of becoming a first-time grandad.  There’s laughter, wisdom, and plenty of behind-the-scenes insights for fans too: how much prep goes into their videos? How often do they completely lose patience with each other? How much convincing does Derry really need to get inside a giant balloon or put on a dress? It's not easy creating regular, entertaining videos for millions of people – and managing the fame that comes with it – but the pair are up to the task. At the heart of it all is Derry’s message to never stop having a bit of craic, no matter what age you are!

    Seize The Day: Positive Parenting with Jacqui Hurley

    Jacqui Hurley is a celebrated broadcaster, author, mum, and passionate advocate for children and women in sport. In this episode, she sits down with Jen and opens up about family life: her early childhood living in Australia, the joys of coaching her own kids, taking time with her husband - as partners and not just parents - and how she juggles her busy schedule to ensure she’s present with her children. She also speaks candidly about the tragic passing of her brother Sean and how it has influenced her approach to parenting and life in general. Away from family, Jacqui discusses her “dream” career - from presenting The Sunday Game, covering the Olympics, and meeting her sporting heroes, to the inspiration behind her bestselling series of books, Girls Play Too. With her positivity and can-do attitude illuminating the discussion, it’s not hard to tell why she’s one of Ireland’s favourite broadcasters. As Jacqui says, Seize The Day!

    The Realities of Modern Parenthood in Ireland, with Jarlath Regan, Caz Mooney, and Bernie Coyne

    This month we bring you a very special episode, one of particular interest to anyone who is a parent in Ireland today. This episode was recorded live at the Museum of Literature Ireland, and host Jen Hogan was joined by comedian, podcaster, and dad Jarlath Regan; author, content creator and mum of three, Caz Mooney; and Bernie Coyne, of Coyne Research, who carried out the ALDI Mammies and Daddies Report. The ALDI Mammies and Daddies Report is the discussion point of this episode.  Our panellists share their perspectives on balancing work, childcare, health, and personal interests, as well as offering insights into the juggling act that is modern parenting.  Jarlath, Caz, and Bernie are full of anecdotes to tell, ranging from the difficulties of working from home while raising a family, to the lunacy of marathon running to the beauty of doing stand-up comedy for infants! There are some hard-hitting truths about how much more men need to be doing when it comes to parenting, and around the reality of trying to live up to society’s expectations of parents. In the end, though, maybe it’s all just the kids’ fault?!
