Outfits from the Barbie movie as GAA jerseys. A thread. 1. Wexford

I’ve only ever listened to one other episode of WTF with Marc Maron (Stephen Malkmus, obv) but this episode with Cillian Murphy is a joy - particularly the chat about the strength of the theatre scene in Ireland podcasts.apple.com/ie/podcast/epi…

Happy Michaelmas all, the day the devil spoiled the blackberries for everyone. Perfect time to revisit this gorgeous piece with Michael Fortune on Shaun O Rourke from 2018 rte.ie/radio/radio1/c…

In. My. Element What an unreal kick-off to Dublin Festival of History Big Weekend Tom Holland

I’m watching the Beckham doc purely for Roy Keane content but Gary Neville being quizzed as to why he never went to the Hacienca is a nice little cherry on top
