In dieser Episode bespreche ich das Buch "OMG, diese Aishling" von Sarah Breen und Emer McLysaght, das mir besonders ins Auge gefallen ist. Die Geschichte dreht sich um die 28-jährige Ashling, die in ihrem Heimatort Baligobot bei ihren Eltern wohnt und von der großen Liebe träumt. Trotz ihrer romantischen Vorstellungen läuft es in ihrer Beziehung zu John nicht wie erhofft. Als sie schließlich den Entschluss fasst, sich von ihm zu trennen, zieht sie nach Dublin zu ihrer neuen Mitbewohnerin Sadhbh, wo sie in eine Welt voller Glamour und unerwarteter Herausforderungen eintaucht. Ich teile meine Eindrücke und reflektiere über die vielen Themen, die das Buch aufgreift, wie Freundschaft, Trauer und die Komplexität von Beziehungen. Zu Beginn war ich skeptisch, ob dieser Frauenroman etwas für mich ist, doch beim Lesen habe ich viele Gemeinsamkeiten entdeckt, die über Geschlechter- und Altersgrenzen hinweggehen. Die Erlebnisse, die Aishling in Bezug auf romantische Reisen und ihre zwischenmenschlichen Beziehungen macht, erscheinen mir sehr nachvollziehbar, da ich aus meiner Perspektive als Hochzeits-DJ bereits viele solcher Geschichten gehört habe. Besonders berührend fand ich die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Hirntumor von Aishlings Vater, die mich stark an persönliche Erfahrungen mit meiner eigenen Familie erinnerte. Diese Passagen haben mich emotional mitgerissen und meine eigene Trauer verstärkt reflektieren lassen. Es ist beeindruckend, wie die Autorinnen solche tiefen seelischen Themen so authentisch und verletzlich in eine unterhaltsame Erzählung integrieren konnten. Mein Fazit fällt positiv aus: "OMG, diese Aishling" ist nicht nur eine amüsante Lektüre, die zum Lachen anregt, sondern auch eine, die zum Nachdenken anregt und einen Spiegel vorhält. Auch wenn das Buch für ein weiblicheres Publikum und eine jüngere Altersklasse geschrieben ist, glaube ich, dass sich viele Leser, unabhängig von Geschlecht und Alter, mit Aishling identifizieren können. Das Potenzial zur Selbstreflexion und die Möglichkeit, über eigene Erfahrungen zu schmunzeln, machen dieses Buch zu einem wertvollen und unterhaltsamen Begleiter. Es ist der erste Band einer Reihe und kann noch immer als E-Book für 6,99 Euro im DTV Imprint erworben werden.

Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!The government is rolling out free hot lunch to primary schools across the country, which should be a really good thing. And it is, in theory. Unfortunately, though, the food on offer isn't always up to snuff, with lots of it falling into the ultraprocessed food category. Oh and also, the packaging is single use. Plus, there's no one with any health or food expertise managing the rollout. Annnnnd it's leading to lots of food waste which is seriously bad for the environment as well as a waste of money. So what went wrong, and how can it be fixed? I spoke to food policy expert Ruth Hegarty, who had lots to say on the matter.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes (including my brand new monthly tv/movies/whatever you're having yourself episode with Emer McLysaght) join our community on Patreon.Theme Song: HowDoILook, Pillow Queens Hosted on Acast.

Now, she's also an author. Her book, Mad, Isn't It?, shares her youth in Dublin, experience of becoming pregnant at eighteen, and building the lovely life she has now. It's really funny, but it also acknowledges a lot of the less funny experiences women our age had as we attempted to find our place in the world. I loved it, and loved having the opportunity to talk to her about it this week.

This week's episode is a fever dream for everyone involved, as not only is one-half of this week's couple an actual friend of the show and past guest, but it's perhaps one of the most notorious celebrity romances to have emerged from reality TV.  Yes, it's true to say that this week's guest, writer Emer McLysaght played an absolute blinder when she brought the very public saga of Samuel Preston and Chantelle Houghton to the table for us to gorge on. And it would appear the show has now eaten itself, as Grainne was able to use the very episode Samuel appeared on as part of her investigation as to what on earth could have possibly gone wrong with this couple, who met surrounded by TV cameras on Big Brother, while one half of them was in a relationship... madness it didn't work out.  Learn more about your ad choices.
