    This week's Catch Up is with Ali Dunworth, food writer and author of A Compendium of Irish Pints: The Culture, Customs and Craic. We chat about her career in food including her years working on programmes like Saturday Kitchen, Nigella and Market Kitchen, and then we get into the magic of pints! I really enjoyed this conversation and I think you will too.

    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.
