Your Round?

#DryJan in a global pandemic ain’t easy! We invited Chris McClure, - writer, documentarian, podcaster, mental health professional AND also happens to be that guy off that Arctic Monkeys album to tell us about his journey into sobriety. Worth a listen whether your drinking this month or not.

December! As we head into the final month of the strangest year ever, Fiona gets excited about heading to the pub again and Amy, perpetually in Tier 3, gets jealous. In a podcast first we have an audio described watch along of the new Phoebe Bridgers music video starring our man Paul Mescal, and we discuss our weird and wonderful festive plans for the next few weeks including the inevitable work Christmas ‘zoom’ party as well as our fortnightly film/music recommendations.

Quite an array of topics covered this week. Wild swimming, large foreheads and condoms on bananas. But most importantly we chat to Leah Alice who launched an amazing magazine whilst in lockdown for creative women.

Anyone for a (socially distanced) quickie? As we descend into Lockdown #2 here in the UK, Amy and Fi jump in for a quick record to talk about how it feels to go again and more importantly, a few tried and tested coping mechanisms that have helped us through. Who knew Harry Styles videos would become so key to us keeping our cool?This week we’re recommending:MusicAlbum by Róisín Murphy 'Róisín Machine'https://open.spotify.com/album/5WpDQt6EbpzXbqo9g9P0L6FilmThe Forty-Year-Old Versionhttps://www.imdb.com/title/tt10642834/Say hiya to us here....Instagram: @yourroundpodcastEmail us: yourroundpodcast@gmail.comTwitter:@YourRoundPodFiona Hanlon @fionaradioAmy O’Hara @AmyRosannaOHara

After a short break from podcasting in the hope lockdown restrictions were easing and we could all head to the pub, Amy and Fiona are back to discuss their response to the latest David Attenborough Documentary ‘A Life On Our Planet’ and impending climate doom, along with ways we can try and help. This week we discuss:A Life On Our Planet https://www.netflix.com/title/80216393The Woodland Trust’s Big Climate Fightbackhttps://www.woodlandtrust.org.uk/This week we’re drinking:Leftfield Kombucha https://leftfieldkombucha.co.uk/This week we’re recommending:Music Mordechai by Khruangbinhttps://open.spotify.com/album/06814vxpRbL5CPMk1CTvOk?si=Jj-NuH88QNWbobl7Umh85gFilm https://rocks.film/home/

On 25th May 2020, George Floyd died at the hands of the Minneapolis Police. As his name was added to the endless list of black people who have died as a result of systemic racism, the #BlackLivesMatter movement gained a groundswell of support on the internet and collectively shouted ENOUGH. We were nervous about having this conversation, worried about saying the wrong thing but understanding white privilege and how we uphold the system is the first step in breaking it down. Staying silent just is not good enough.So join us in our little imaginary 'pub' as we have the first of many conversations about the Black Lives Matter movement and how we can (and must) be better going forward. Homework: Reni Eddo-Lodge has a podcast and a book that you need to listen to and read https://www.aboutracepodcast.com/

We’ve lost count of the days, lost control of personal hygiene and the pub is still not open. So with little else to do, Amy and Fi crack a can, sit back and have a chat about how their relationships are coping during lockdown, what the isolation dating scene might look like and if Harry Styles can save us all from the post Normal People blues.

Welcome to episode #1 of Your Round? Stuck in lockdown, missing the pub and each other, pals Fiona and Amy got together to replicate their weekly catch up, this time with a round of drinks at home instead of the boozer. Having both watched/loved/become obsessed with the BBC Three adaptation of Sally Rooney's novel, Normal People, we knew we needed a serious debrief on the show. In true pub-chat style, with frankly no authority or critical insight, we delve into why the show quickly became so beloved, who could possibly take issue with those sex scenes and why we're all so thirsty for Connell and his chain.
