I can hardly believe it but this is the fiftieth episode of Catch Up with Louise McSharry! Thank you so much for being with me so far. This week's episode is chockablock, starting with a lengthy intro from me in which I discuss this article from The Cut. I think many of us would be better off if Ozempic wasn't a thing and I appreciate that this article has been triggering for many, so if you'd like to skip that section, skip to 17:30.
Aoife Moore and I discuss the week's news as usual, from the Windsor Framework (don't worry if you don't know what that is, we got you), to Holly Cairns becoming leader of the Social Democrats, and a pathetic attempt by us to explain why the Northern Lights were visible from Ireland this week. We really just shouldn't talk about science.
In the interview segment I chat to Lisa Connell and Cormac Cashman about the wonder that is Mother, the party they're throwing as part of St. Patrick's Festival and why safe queer spaces are so important.
In entertainment, James O'Hagan and I digest the SAG Awards, whether Paul Mescal was slighted by Zendaya (he wasn't), Dwayne Wade's beautiful speech in support of his trans daughter Zaya and the sheer audacity, nerve and gumption of one of Lady Gaga's dognappers.
