An opinion piece in The Journal today by Emer McLysaght challenges the idea that wedding guests should be expected to give cash as a present. She says that "getting married is a decision, not an achievement... we should stop giving newlyweds money”.As the cost-of-living continues to rise, and as weddings are now often a multiple day event, should we re-evaluate the wedding guest gift expectations?Joining Shane and Ciara to discuss this is Édaein O'Connell, Freelance Journalist.

How delightful to have regular contributor Emer McLysaght as a guest for this episode alongside her writing partner Sarah Breen. Emer and Sarah are responsible for the publishing phenomenon that is the Oh My God What a Complete Aisling books, and they've teamed up again for a new novel: Our Deadly Summer. We caught up on why they decided to stick together for this book, and why they didn't simply write another Aisling book, and the joy of writing a novel set in the heady nostalgia of the early 2000s.

Almost three years on from their final Aisling book, writers and besties Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen are back with a brand new novel, Our Deadly Summer. It's a heartfelt and hilarious tale about friendship, young women and bad men. In today's episode, the pair tell Róisín Ingle about the J1 spent in Long Island which inspired the story and why despite pursuing solo projects after the Aisling series, they ultimately found themselves working together again. In this wide-ranging discussion, they also give their take on enduring female friendships, Botox, and the precarity of renting in Dublin. But first, Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O'Connell is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week, including the surge in women seeking help for cocaine addiction and why Meghan Markle wants you to buy a $64 candle to celebrate her wedding anniversary.

Emer McLysaght and Sarah Breen join Kate and Michelle to talk about their latest novel, Our Deadly Summer, a darkly funny thriller following two best friends who spend a summer at a Long Island country club in the early 2000's, witness something they should never have seen, and spend the next twenty years trying to forget it.The duo share how their own J1 experiences and the reckless freedom of life before smartphones shaped the book, why they deliberately set it in a pre-tracking, pre-social media world and what it felt like to take their writing in a new direction while holding onto the warmth and female friendship that has always defined their work.They also open up about how their co-writing process actually works, from flipping a coin to decide who writes the dreaded first chapter, to editing each other's work so thoroughly that they often forget who wrote what, to the discipline required to keep moving when a deadline is closing in.A warm, funny and refreshingly candid conversation about creative partnership, nostalgia, female friendship and what it really takes to keep writing.Key takeaways for writers:Starting is always the hardest part.Co-writing demands that you let go of being precious about your own words, the book matters more than who wrote which line.Writing simultaneously rather than waiting for the other person to finish keeps momentum going and beats procrastination.Dual timelines and shifting perspectives are exciting but difficult. Expect to rewrite yourself into corners and out of them again.Natter is proudly brought to you in association with Bookstation Ireland & IrishCentral. Hosted on Acast.

The decision by Trump to withdraw the threat of tariffs against eight European countries opposing his plan for Greenland represents a rare climbdown.· Bord Bia chairman Larrry Murrin faced calls from Sinn Féin and the Irish Farmers' Association for his resignation this week amid a controversy over his company Dawn Farms importing Brazilian beef.· The proposed reforms to the national rent control system due to come into effect on March 1st might be a hard sell for Government due to rent increases and evictions that may arise from the changes.· And former Fianna Fáil senator and MEP Brian Crowley has passed away at the age of 61. A native of Bandon, Co. Cork, topped the poll in every European election he contested – in 1994, 1999, 2004, 2009 and in 2014 – and was a well-liked figure both inside and outside Fianna Fáil.Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· Emer McLysaght on the joy and hidden challenges of living alone, the disappearance of former New York Giant Sam Beale, and the upcoming Six Nations Championship.Would you like to receive daily insights into world events delivered to your inbox?

Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!This is a long episode but there really was so much to discuss. Emer McLysaght is our shepherd through this week's entertainment stories and they are beefy. Having just returned from the final gig of Taylor Swift's final stop on the European leg of the eras tour, she had a lot to say on that, and we obviously had to get into the Oasis reunion (with a special audio note from Sarah Breen, probably Ireland's biggest Oasis fan). We also discuss Chappell Roan's refusal to accept stalking and harrassment as part of her job, Lily Allen's doggy drama and lots more besides.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes join our community on Patreon.Get tickets for my live show featuring Marian Keyes here!
