The Panic Station Podcast

Lianne pens a letter to Mary Lou; whilst quaffing wine, talking about early 90s anxieties, cures for piles, and photography. Also includes exclusive details about upcoming summer Panic Station gigs.

Darren and Lianne get swept up in General Election Fever, to the point they end up discussing Michael Bolton, Curtis Stigers, potholes, hedges and Mary Lou McDonald. Enjoying this content? Not enjoying it? Let us know! Leave a comment, a follow, or tell a friend.

Possibly the greatest ramblefest ever recorded. Dennis & The Nilsens, marathon times, jungle is massive and various other tangents. Lots to think about in this latest episode!

Darren manages to gain access to McCooey's Fortress of Solitude to record the latest episode. We answer a few Instagram questions, and chat nonsense while Ollie the dog flashes his anus at us intermittently. Good boy.

McCooey goes solo and talks about car insurance, cat ownership, 90s rnb and Mark McCarney.

Darren and Lianne wrongly think that 19 minutes constitute a viable offering as a Patreon episode, and given that 13 of those minutes are Lianne talking about Liberty X, that's a real cheek altogether. So here's another freebie! Follow our socials and get involved - tell us what you want to hear and we'll get to work on it. Thanks again guys!

The raw and unedited rebirth of the Panic Station Podcast - the choice of a New Generation....of Newry people. Darren and Lianne trade insults, early 2000 anecdotes, and offer up limited information about their future plans to Make Newry Great Again. Stay tuned to see this whole thing unravel in front of your eyes/ears, but it'll get slicker every episode

Nostalgia enthusiast Bronagh McAtasney chats about ska, The Troubles, journalling, Twitter and why storytelling is actually pretty cool. Check the diary out on Twitter @NrnIrnGirl1981 or check herself out @BeebsyMcA

Lianne and fellow Ginger Darren Matthews chat about local marketing, Netflix, trolls, and OJ Simpson

McCooey chats with Newry male model, yummy Daddy, and general all-round cool guy Sean McGuigan about the ups and downs of 21st Century mental health. A good listen.

McCooey is interviewed by Wayne Denner for the Zero Lives Left Podcast, and chats about the litany of mistakes and good fortune that led to the mess she's in today. A decent listen for anyone considering starting their own business in a small town in Northern Ireland.

Chris Kerr joins McCooey for frank chats about coping with grief, experiencing anxiety and depression, and reaching out for help.

Possibly the most fun podcast I've done. Bronagh Diamond and I have the absolute craic whilst I get drunk

A lovely chat with the Viral Sensation of NI - Mr Paddy Raff, sometimes known as Nigel. We talk about starting out in stand-up, creepy wedding songs; and I bookend the chat by talking shit about LuvBug, djing at a wedding myself, and why I resent being asked to weddings in the first place.

Another rambling solo-cast; featuring badly edited clips of Declan McChesney, my views on Eurovision and The Celtic Tiger, mental health, and being a queer in Newry.

After seeing a discarded packet of nuts from 1992 in a ditch, McCooey decides to record what is essentially a load of tangents - with the help of Wikipedia and contributions from The Instasphere

McCooey (McCoo) chats to The Belfast Tailor about trance music, Creme Eggs in porridge, how to handle trolls and the most famous balls he's ever cupped. His favourite song ever follows the chat, so keep listening

Lianne chats to Annette Kelly via the medium of Facebook Messenger, hence the slightly erratic audio. Annette is an all-round banter merchant, proud Tyrone girl, content creator and wellness peddler. Check her out online where she's better known as one half of Little Penny Thoughts.

What would you write in a letter to your 15 year old self? McCooey has a few ideas, but drinking a bottle of Pinot Grigio before recording makes monologues hard to follow.

Darren Matthews joins McCooey for chats in the midst of a global pandemic.
