[Podcast] Lachen, Weinen, Nachdenken: Warum 'OMG, diese Aishling' mehr als nur ein Frauenroman ist

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.

Edna O'Brien, who dies last year at the age of 93, was a prolific writer of stories, novels and occasionally films, who was ahead of her time in many ways, from her writing to her approach to life as a woman at a time when women didn't have many choices. In this episode Sinead and I discuss the new film, how she came to make a film about Edna O'Brien, and Edna's incredible life and career.

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.

We're baaaaack! Thank you for coming back after my week off! This week Aoife Moore and I get down to the news business. We chat through the homecoming of the women of the world cup, the propsed sex-for-rent ban, and two of the wildest stories we've ever discussed.I felt like it was important to take some time to talk about Sinead O'Connor as there was no podcast last week. I've loved reading Una Mullally's writing about Sinead in the Irish Times over the years along with her recent piece for the New York Times, so was grateful she was up for chatting. I was particularly grateful to her for the reminder she gives at the end of our chat. Esther O'Moore Donohoe and I chatted through the week's entertainment stories, including what is going on with Lizzo, Ariana's new relationship, as well as the impact of social media trolling on Claire Byrne's exit from the race to be presenter of the Late Late Show.Recommendations:Aisling Ever After by Emer McLysaght and Sarah BreenThe List by Yomi Adegoke To support the podcast and access additional episodes check out the Patreon here.Get tickets for my show at the Cork Podcast Festival here.
