Louis Walsh and I met at a Junk Kouture event and we just *clicked*. He gave me his number at the time and he promised he'd do the podcast. Well, lo and behold, Louis is a man of his word!

Claire Byrne is RTÉ's current affairs presenting queen. She's another guest who I have been dying to have in for ages and I was chuffed when she told me a couple of weeks ago that was available to come in.

I was so delighted to finally welcome Louise O’Neill to the studio this week because, like many of my guests, we've been trying to line it up for a while.

I was delighted to welcome onto the show a journalist I've admired for a long time, not just for her amazing work on the GolfGate scoop, but also for her no b******t approach to social media.

Presenter, rugby player and Love Island winner, Greg O'Shea is my guest on today's show. Trigger warning: I am so grateful to Greg for his honesty in our chat. I truly believe what he has to say about asking for help when he encountered his own mental health struggles will be massively helpful to many people, particularly men, but it is important to note this conversation involves discussion about suicidal feelings. Greg's story is his own. But a note as well that any changes to prescribed...

In the *season finale* I’m welcoming back two familiar voices… As regular listeners will know, they’ve been guests on the podcast before, but it’s been a wild few years for all of us…so it’s time for a catch up.

I've always been an admirer of Danny O’Reilly; he's in one of the biggest bands in Ireland but he always come across as such a sound guy. It was great to have him in for natter about playing GAA in London (and how that helped him get gigs!), how he answers people who question why they aren’t bigger outside Ireland, and why he used to deny that Mary Black was his mam. I hope you enjoy it. This season of the Laughs of your Life is brought to you by F&F, fashion at Tesco. Pop in for the...

*Pinch me* but... Michael Bublé, yes the Michael Bublé(!), dropped into for a chat on the pod this week. We met in a five star Dublin hotel and had a fecking great chat about so many things including... punching above his weight with his beautiful wife Luisana, how he lived out his very own Julia Roberts 'Pretty Woman' moment and he also gave us arguably the *best* worst joke we've heard on the pod so far.

I was delighted, and also, I'm not gonna lie, a little stunned that An Taoiseach, yes the leader of the country, Micheál Martin is my guest on the podcast this week! We chatted about many things including, of course, his son, Micheál Aodh, being a bit of a looker; why he’s stone mad for sea swimming; and also, because I couldn't have him sitting in front of me and not ask, what he's going to do to fix the housing crisis in Ireland. The chat with the Taoiseach was recorded in February, before...

I was delighted to welcome Irish paralympic gold medalist and Dancing With The Stars goddess, Ellen Keane, onto the podcast this week. It was a *very* lively chat, we shot the breeze about her Brazilian thong awkwardness at the age of twelve, and, OH MY GOD, the *funniest* jacuzzi story you will ever hear. She also spoke to about learning to cope with her depression and the lessons she has learned about managing her mental health. It was such a good conversation with a fantastic lady. I’m...

I was so excited to meet Sunday World crime journalist, Nicola Tallant, the creator of one of my *favourite* podcasts of 2021 - the phenomenal The Witness: In His Own Words.

Amazing to have me oul pal, Marty Guilfoyle as my next guest on The Laughs Of Your Life podcast.
