Season Finale with my Mom

It's the Season 2 Finale! Thank you, sincerely, for all of the love this season. It means so much. I thought it would be nice to wrap it up with a chat with my Mom, Clare. We had the loveliest trip to Spain recently and I managed to twist her arm into coming back on the podcast (she was a nervous wreck last year!). I hope you enjoy. Catch you when The Laughs Of Your Life returns this September! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We're back! Catching up with Pam Joyce and the iconic Trinny Woodall

I am so excited for this new season of Doireann and Friends! Old friends, new friends, new set…it’s all happening. Pam is back and because we haven't had a proper catch up in ages, there was quite a lot to get through. I wanted to hear about her first couple holiday and she wanted to hear about how Mark managed to surprise me with his proposal (I don’t actually know if she wanted to hear but I told her anyway)... And there was still time for a catch up with Laughs of Your Life alumni, and the true icon that is Trinny Woodall! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
