In this episode David Cran, Managing Director of MintBox Removals discusses how he got involved within the industry only 5 years ago, but the seed of being a remover was potentially sowed much earlier on in life. David's life as a remover didn't start according to plan, a night out on the town ended early after an accident with a taxi, which resulted in David being hospitalised and on crutches for several weeks! MintBox Removals is based in Edinburgh and provides predominantly domestic removals, packing and storage services (mostly via third party storage companies), running 3 x Luton Vans and 1 x HGV (recently purchased from Richard Webster at Tonks - Listen to Richard's episode here (https://www.movingmatterspodcast.co.uk/21)). David's challenges have been, his personal accident at the start of his removal life, Covid and the stamp duty holiday, and growing the business. The one thing David would change from his relatively short time in the moving industry is to have spent a couple of years gaining experience while working for a large Edinburgh based mover. David's highpoints of being within the industry are, moving several Aberdeen FC footballers, being involved with the Ireland RFU during the Six Nations, being the ‘kitman's assistant' as David puts it, and purchasing the HGV. David wouldn't change a great deal overall within the industry but would like to see the conveyancing system making use of Proptech (property technology). The advice David would give himself just starting out within the industry again, apart from look right and left when crossing the road, would be connecting, and communicating with other movers earlier, and to enjoy the process. In the next 5 years David would like to go down the route of palletised storage, an industrial warehouse to operate from and an additional HGV. Industry wise, David see's more use of the demountable body system, ran by several companies currently. Outside of the industry David enjoys family time with his two children, and gardening, in which David has developed a passion for lawn care! And as always we end Moving Matters with four, yes four funny moving stories, an April Fool's prank, a famous Irish Comedian, an attic incident, and the CEO of Hibernian FC. Enjoy!

After 21 years of “growing up” in Longford, Ireland, Sean Finnerty decided to move stateside where a series of mature decisions that he failed to make led him to stand up comedy. Sean first cut his teeth in the Orlando comedy scene and quickly learned that his no holds barred humor and charming accent were well received (when people could actually understand what he was saying). Selected for Comedy Central's Up Next competition and as a semi-finalist in both the 2014 Florida's Funniest Comedian Competition and the 2014 Charleston Comedy Festival, Sean has been seen at comedy clubs and festivals across the Southeast, including The Improv, the Orlando Fringe Festival, the Orlando Indie Comedy Festival, and at Gringos Locos Tacos at 3 in the morning after a night out. He has worked alongside touring headliners such as Dan Cummins, Mick Foley, Tommy Johnagin, Shane Mauss, Sean Patton, Rich Vos, Bobby Slayton, Mark Normand, Joe List, Maronzio Vance, Ben Kronberg, and Dustin Diamond. Born and raised in Ireland, comedian Sean Finnerty offers a unique perspective on everyday life. A finalist at the 2014 Florida's Funniest Comedian Competition and the 2014 Charleston Comedy Festival, Finnerty brings his brash, unapologetic and distinctive perspective to the Dog and Bone British Pub this weekend… @SeanyFinnerty #KCIrishFest #KansasCity #IrishComedy #SlackerMorningShow101theFox #TMobile

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian Conor Drum. We kick off speaking about Conor's Edinburgh Festival Fringe show All My Friends Are Dead, we speak about where the name comes from, don't fear he's friends aren't actually dead, just metaphorically dead. He tells me about his friends always trying to set him up with the loser girl at weddings and he speaks about how he seems to be not achieving "life goals" at the same rate as his friends. He talks about the idea of 'the one' and how simply ludicrous it is, but if it does exist scientists need to descend on his hometown and study his mates because so many have seemed to found 'the one' in their own backyards. We chat then about why it gets harder and harder to go on the session as you get older and Conor laments for his younger days when hangovers didn't hurt so much. I ask Conor about when he meets his married friends now does he get a sense of pity of jealousy from them. We return to the subject of the Edinburgh Fringe Festival then and I ask Conor about his show a bit more, he had actually done a shorter version of it last year so I wanted to know more about the process of improving on last year's show. We talk about some of the highs and lows of performing at the Fringe over the years and what he's learned during that time from performing there and how those experiences have helped with him putting on his current show All My Friends Are Dead. It comes up a lot on the podcast that Irish comedians almost have to move to England to make it there first and Conor tells me a story about a time he met Jimmy Carr while working and some advice he gave Conor about getting better gigs in The UK. Conor Drum will be well-known to Irish listeners, he made headlines in Ireland in 2014, when his show Nutjob about his testicular cancer became widely known, so we speak about that as well. Conor also does a bit of acting and writing so we got talking about a recent article he wrote for HuffPost about the new drinking session, a Baby Storm, a bit like a Baby Shower, but totally different and actually enjoyable. We talk then about film, what he loves about it and what he's like to do in the future but also what he prefers about stand-up comedy when you compare the two disciplines. We speak then about his writing process and how he likes to expand on ideas and who his comedic influences were growing up.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian Rory O'Hanlon. We start off asking about how the previews have been going in the run up to his show at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We get talking about the whole idea behind having to have a theme for shows at the Fringe and why comedians do this and why some of them use the term very loosely. We speak about Rory's Edinburgh Show "Getting Serious", how he's been preparing for it and what's the show's going to be about. We get a bit nerdy then on Edinburgh and speak about what he's learned over the year from performing there. We chat about the highs and lows of performing at the Fringe and how one of the best parts of it is meeting other comedians from all over. We talk then about the other show he's running with former Comedy Cast guest Danny O'Brien about a variety show they're putting on every day. We speak about why Rory's laptop is set to Spanish instead of English. We get talking then about why if you want to 'make it' in Ireland you have to make it in England first, mostly because the Irish love to claim someone once they become well known. We speak about the differences between Irish and British crowds and how there's very little really, the biggest differences are when you go out into the sticks away from the cities. We chat about sleepy English seaside towns and how they're like something from old Scooby-Doo cartoons.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian, Ger Staunton. We kick off the interview and we speak about an Edinburgh preview show Ger had just performed in London along with previous Comedy Cast guest Danny O'Brien. I ask him about the nature of preview shows and about how much a set will change from the previews to the actual Edinburgh set. We speak too about learning to be critical of your work and how sometimes it doesn't matter what you think of a bit, it's the audience that are the best judge of new material. We speak about Ger's podcast with former Comedy Cast guest Martin Angolo, Canary in a Comedy Goldmine, where Martin tests out new material on Ger. It's a brilliant podcast and I urge you all to subscribe, the lads are hilarious together. I tell Ger that I get the impression for other comedians in Dublin that he's somewhat looked up to, but he reveals it's not because of his talent as a comedian... We speak about Ger's job of being a video editor for live sporting events and some short films he'd made in the past in particular Bealtaine, a short about an old neighbour who brought back a dying tradition to Mayo. We talk then about how and why Ger got into comedy. Ger's speaks then about putting the foot down in comedy recently and about how the more you put into performing regularly the more you'll get out of it. We speak about the comedy scene in Dublin, the advantages and disadvantages to gigging to a lot of tourists and people who don't regularly attend comedy and how as new comics you have to be willing to work hard and do the small gigs before getting the bigger ones.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian and Jesters Comedy Club chief Chris O'Neill. We kick off the interview speaking about where Chris in from in Ireland, a place called Naas. Although well known in Ireland, Naas' reputation isn't widely known, that's probably a good thing though... We also talk about his what Chris studied as a student and I finally got to ask something I've always wanted to ask a politics student. We speak about where Political Satire is going wrong in Ireland, and why it's hard to perform satire aimed at Irish politicians in front of Dublin audiences. We dig a bit deeper then on the subject and discuss why we don't see enough comedy on Irish television. We get onto Jesters Comedy then. Regular listeners will know that the Jesters name pops up a lot when we have guests based in Dublin on the show and it was the reason I wanted to speak to Chris. We get into comedy promotion here and how he runs the nights and why he decided that instead of just hosting regular open mic and guest nights he wanted to challenge the comedians gigging in Dublin with themed nights and challenges. We speak about the different themed-nights, Jesters Raw, Jesters Weird, Jesters Surprise and Jesters Politics, that he runs and why he decided on them. We speak about the workshop Chris holds every year in October to help new comedians with their gigs at the following year's Edinburgh Festival, he offers advice on things like who to apply to, organising where to stay, technical aspects of venues and more besides. And finally then we chat about his role at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival where he runs two compilation shows and helps to put on over 150 shows every year.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian Niamh Marron. We kick off the interview speaking about coming from County Monaghan and why the county produces so many excellent stand-up comedians. And poultry farms. Niamh was a photography student before getting into comedy so we spoke about that for a bit and if there's any cross over between photography and comedy, and her mighty Instagram page. We speak too about her final college project, something really cool where she mixed photography and comedy. We speak about how and why she got into comedy. We talk then about what it's like to die on stage and how with Niamh it makes her more determined to right that wrong the next time she's on stage. We chat about one incident in particular when she had the unfortunate experience of a whole room turning against her, but she explains how she won them back. We have a chat about her experience on Britain's Got Talent and how their toilets had no window and she couldn't escape. We talk about a play that Niamh was recently a part of, Living on the Edge, we spoke about the play, the idea behind it and how she became involved in it. Finally then we chat about the watered-down comedy on TV and how it's a sad reflection of the spontaneity of live comedy.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish actor, comedian and writer Tom Moran. We kick off the interview speaking about a favourite of Irishmen when they get talking; the weather. We get onto living in Dublin then and Tom tells a mad story about what he was expected to do to get a flat on Dublin's Capel Street. Tom hosts the wildly successful podcast Personality Bingo, so we speak about the idea behind the show and how it's been going. We get talking then about Tom's web series Fix Me, we get deep on it and talk about the writing of it and the challenge of writing about a therapist and a patient. Tom is also a contributing memeber of the Facts Channel. You will probably know about them by now having had a few guests on from the crazily successful YouTube channel, so we get talking about that, how he got involved and what he likes about it. We dug a bit deeper on the subject too and we pondered upon why tradition media outlets don't try to get successful new media types on board. We turn the subject then to The Belly Button Girl, a one man play Tom wrote and performed last year. He reveals it's been booked again for this year so we speak about it and the process of getting it from script to stage. Finally then we speak about Tom's comedic influences growing up and what comedians he looks up to now.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian, Damien Kiely. We kick off the interview with Damien telling me about his bittersweet weekend, a communion for one of his kids and a cat funeral. We speak about where Damien is from, what he calls the Harlem of Dublin. We talk about what's been happening in Ireland that's been making headlines recently but we end up speaking about burying animals in the backyard and Scientology. Stephen Fry gets an honourable mention as well. We chat about how and why Damien got into comedy and he tells me about how hitting the big 4-0 was a real turning point for him in his life. Damien speak about his first ever gig in the Ha'penny Inn at the Battle of the Axe, and about how a couple of Dutch tourists were nice enough to laugh along even though they'd no idea what was going on. We speak about the Dublin comedy scene, its community spirit and how encouraging it is for new comedians. Damien speaks openly about therapy in his act so I asked hm about his own experiences with going to therapy following his battle with substance abuse.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish Comedian, Steve Bennett. Steve is Irish comedian of the year so we kick off the podcast by speaking about a tour he'd just completed in Australia on the back of that achievement. Steve hails from Laois in Ireland, so we speak about growing up there for a bit. Take the train through it though, don't bother stopping he says. Before getting into comedy Steve was a teacher, so we speak about that and how he got to live in France for a while thanks to it. While there he documented his life with a very funny web series called Hey France on his YouTube channel. We speak about how and why Steve got into comedy, and popping two cherries on the night of his first gig. We speak more about being Irish comedian of the year, the competition. What doors have been opened for him and if he feels any pressure thanks to the award. We speak about how Steve uses music in his act and we get talking about music comedy albums. And we even get a new tune.

http://thecomedycast.com Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian Jonathan Sheehan. We kick off the conversation talking about my recent run in with a South African record producer company, sorry, it was just something I had to get off my chest. Jonathan hails from Tullamore in Co. Offaly so we chat about the 3 things I know about Tullamore, Irish hiphop, whiskey and a former Irish Taoiseach, or Prime Minister, and he fills me in with more local knowledge Jonathan used to run comedy nights in the Irish midlands, exotic places such as Mullingar and Birr, so we spoke about everything involved with putting on comedy in provincial towns in Ireland. We speak about what Jonathan does for a living and how he used to use it for material for his sets. We chat then about how and why Jonathan got into comedy and he speak about a comedy course he took before his first gig. We have a natter then about why so many Irish people emigrate to Australia and how not going, like most of the parish did, worked out better for him. Then we get on to his comedic influences and the comedy he watched on television growing up. We speak then about how he works on his sets and he tells me the greatest Lethal Weapon joke I've ever heard. Finally then we get talking about improv comedy then and Jonathan spills the beans and reveals some secrets not known outside the murky world of improv.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Hello and welcome back to The Comedy Cast; today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian Alex Byrne. We kick off the interview in unusual fashion and speak about peanut butter and jam, or jelly, sandwiches, I'd just discovered them and wanted to share their amazement with the world. Alex comes from Lucan in Dublin, so we get the lowdown on the village withing a city's borders. We speak about Alex being half stand-up comedian, half magician, and not half-Michiganian, coz I'd thought I seen the word Michigan when I should've been reading magician and proceeded to make a right tit of myself. We chat then about what attracted Alex to magic in the first place and about what he does for a living. He reveals a great tactic for getting rid of drunks that want to talk about his job on nights out. Alex has previously attended Dublin's Gaiety School of Acting so I wanted to know more about its acting courses, what he learned from it and what has been transferable to stand-up comedy. Alex enjoys gigging all over Ireland so we speak about whether he finds there's differences between city and country audiences. We speak about Alex's influences; Fr. Ted & Fawlty Towers both get a special mention. And finally then, we tackle that old myth about comedians being miserable and needing the validation and love of strangers.

http://thecomedycast.com Laura will be instantly recognisable to anyone that has seen any of the Facts videos. If you've not heard of Facts, it's a massive YouTube channel that makes videos of Irish comedians commenting on things like watching American TV shows, trying Polish desserts and watching Star Wars for the first time. We start off the interview by speaking about how much Laura's been gigging all over Ireland lately. We speak too about coming from a place in Dublin with a mad name; Stepaside and it turns out we used to be neighbours, yes, Ireland's a small place. We get ont comedy then and spoke about how and why she got into it; starting with her getting involved with the Drama Society while in college and how she used to write plays while studying. We spoke too about how when she started her comedy career she had to battle with shyness, and how to get past it she almost plays a role while going onstage. We have a natter then about Laura's love for music and we find something in common that I thought only I suffered from. Laura tells me then about the responsibility she feels onstage and how brightening up somebody's day is one of the best feelings to have when coming off stage. We get onto Facts then and we speak about it; how she got involved, its huge success and how it's great for improvisation skills. We talk then about the bizarreness of being watched by 100,000s of viewers on every video yet still being fairly anonymous in her daily life. We chat then about some of the weird things that have appeared on the internet about her thanks to the videos. I noticed during the interview that Laura's pretty harsh on herself so we spoke about that for a bit, she describes herself as an optimistic pessimist, something I can definitely identify with as you'll hear.

http://thecomedycast.com/ We kicked off the interview speak about where Lauren is from and how her family fled Russia for county Cork Lauren is also a medium and big into spirituality so we spoke about that, I can't put my finger on it but for some reason I really enjoy speaking to people about things like this. We speak about a philosophy that Lauren follows, a Course in Miracles We speak indepthly about the topic and we get onto the heavy issue of death and how we deal with it as individuals and as a society, and indeed different societies Lauren moved to Israel as a child so we speak about that, how she never really fit in and how she longed to return to Dublin We spoke about Lauren audition for the Iasaeli Children's Choir, and going on to being a soloist for them before it ended thanks to the war. Lauren has a condition called Complex Needs Disorder, formerly Borderline Personality Disorder, so we spoke about that for a while. She really opened up about the condition and what it entails. We spoke about how she battled with it, it's signs, it's symptons, how to deal with it, her treatment with the Theraputic Community Therapeutic Community, how they help people with mental issue without drugs and the patients run the operation while the staff oversee everything We spoke about Moving on Theatre, a theatre company Lauren set up and has run since coming out of the Therapeutic Community We speak about Moving on TV, an online TC channel Lauren has set up for the community.

http://thecomedycast.com/ Tara Flynn will be well-known to anyone that has even the slightest interest in the Irish comedy scene and before hanging up her stand-up microphone to concentrate on writing was a regular face on the stand-up scene all over the world. We started off then talking about where Tara's from in Ireland and why she has a definite Irish accent but one that's hard to exactly place. Tara is well-known in Ireland too for appearing on approximately 20 million radio ads and when you have a voice as pure lovely as her it's easy to understand why she's in demand. But I had to ask her if she'd ever thought of getting into radio presenting. Lord knows Irish radio could do with a dose of humour on the airwaves. That led us on to talking about how to get projects from the pitch and script phase to actually getting it made and she revealed that she's currently working on a new book and a TV show. We spoke then about Tara's previous two books "You're Grand" and "Giving Out Yards" and about how a satirical look at Irish life has led her into taking a more serious approach to writing and to becoming, accidentally, involved in activism. Tara then spoke about why she gave up her career in stand-up after 10 years and why she feels that the big issues we're being faced with deserve more than just a comic response and how they should be tacked head on, protested against and goes into how direct action is needed. We returned to comedy then and spoke about how and why Tara got into comedy and how she had been an actor before embarking on a successful career in stand-up comedy. She spoke too about her undying love for improv comedy and that she still loves to performs with Dublin Comedy Improv. We spoke about Tara's regular articles over on the excellent Headstuff.org and they types of issues she writes about weekly. Finally then we spoke about Tara's activism regarding the Repeal the 8th movement in Ireland; a movement in Ireland asking for a referendum on abortion rights and about why she's proud of being a Social Justice Warrior.

http://thecomedycast.com Martin's a Dublin man and recently he's been hitting a lot of peoples' radars in Ireland thanks to his particular style of comedy. While still certainly new to the scene you can definitely see his progression as a comedian from his material on YouTube. We kicked off the interview like any two Irishmen, we bitched about the weather, we spoke too about being raised in Cabra in Dublin, a place with a bad reputation, but really that's all it is. We spoke about Martin's surname Angolo, his Namibian roots and his mother's experiences when moving to Dublin to work as a nurse. We talked too about how and why Martin got into comedy and how he actually see stand-up comedy as a stepping stone to other things; his desire to be a comedy writer and certainly not an actor, as hereveals why he doesn't have much time for actors. We also spoke about about Martin's experience growing up in Dublin as a black person, I was nervous asking that question I won't lie. I've heard some bad stories from black friends at home. We talked then about Martin's comedic influences growing up and how his mother's taste in comedy was a huge influence on him. Martin decides to turn the tables on me about halfway through and I get a grilling about the podcast. We speak too about Martin's writing process and how he works on his act. And we spoke about how Martin's act has evolved over the years away from one-liners to being more anecdotal or more 'truthful' as he himself says. We speak about the first time Martin died on his arse and how he picked himself back up from it and finally we talk about the supportive nature of the comedy scene in Dublin.

Thanks again for joining us here at The Comedy Cast. http://thecomedycast.com Regular listeners will know that I'm a massive fan of what's going on in Northern Ireland's comedy scene, indeed the whole culture scene up there. Finally there's a generation of people taking to the stage in their chosen medium who aren't burdened with the yoke of 'The Troubles' and they're emerging from and showing the rest of us the new Northern Ireland. Marcus Keeley is a man that will be more than well-known to comedy nerds in Ireland, not only because of his unique take on comedy, but also for his work putting and promoting gigs. We start off by talking about coming from Northern Ireland and how he enjoys living under a constant vibe of tension, how 'it could all kick off at any time'. We have a chat too about Marcus moving to Norwich for university and nearly being murdered by a British Royal Marine for no other reason that he was from Northern Ireland. When we got onto comedy I discovered that Marcus' stage career had actually begun with poetry so we spoke about that for a while, slam poetry gets a special mention. We had a talk too about Marcus involvement with improv comedy, most recently with Wonderfrog, a really excellent Belfast-based improv group (video below). We speak too about Marcus' love for making videos and we speak about some of the ones on his excellent YouTube channel. Finally then we speak about Voicebox Comedy, a comedy night that Marcus ran for years in Belfast, most recently in LOFT. A disused art gallery that recently was knocked down. Voicebox is on a bit of a break but he tells me he's hopefully of it coming back in the future

  Ryan Cullen This is a rebroadcast of the Ryan Cullen interview from September 23rd. Welcome back to The Comedy Cast. Today you’ll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian, Ryan Cullen. Ryan Cullen will be well-known to anyone that has ever seen any of the Facts videos; where Irish people give their reactions to eating … Continue reading [Rebroadcast] The Comedy Cast’s Top 3 Podcasts of 2016, Number 1: Ryan Cullen

This is a rebroadcast of the Robbie Bonham interview from October 6th. Today you'll be hearing from Irish comedian Robbie Bonham. Robbie will be well-known to anyone that follows the Irish comedy scene, he's been gigging for many years now and is renowned for his honesty and his dealing with personal issues while on stage. This was a real education for me; to speak to a comedian in a time of real transition, as someone who has to deal yet again with alcoholism, relationship difficulties and depression, while also re-entering education as an adult and trying to re-find his place in comedy. Robbie's a bit of a hero of mine as you'll hear in the podcast and I wish him well for the future and I hope that we can speak again on the podcast because I feel he has a lot more to say regarding comedy and I strongly feel that his comedic talents have been somewhat overlooked in Ireland, but hopefully in the years to come he'll finally get the recognition and praise he deserves.

Today you're going to be hearing from one of Northern Ireland's most hotly-tipped stand-up comedians, Micky Bartlett. Listeners will certainly have heard his name before on the Graeme Watson episode and you all know by know that I have a major thing for the current Northern Irish comedy scene so I had to get Micky on as a guest. We had a great laugh together, really did. Micky has to be one of the most relaxed comedians we're ever had on and it felt far more like a conversation over a pint than an interview. Nonetheless we nattered about how and why he got into comedy, ducking out of comedy for two full years after dying on his arse one night and making videos with, and being the victim of, the very talented Colin Geddis. We spoke too about Micky's influences, growing up in Northern Ireland; while some of his friends wanted woolly faces all he wanted to do was play Streets of Rage. We spoke too about STIs and trying to make doctors laugh, his successful stint on the BBC Northern Ireland panel show Monumental and dealing easily with being labelled as Northern Ireland's next big stand-up comedian. It was an absolute pleasure to talk to Micky, he's a real what you see is what you get and although this is for a podcast you get what I mean. His stand-up show is nothing short of utterly hilarious and I sincerely thing he's only a couple of more tours away from greatness.

Today you'll be hearing from Irish stand-up comedian Danny O'Brien. Danny's not all that long on the comedy scene but he's certainly rising up through the ranks and gaining new fans quickly. We had a chat about why he got into comedy, his part in The Comedy Crunch, one of Dublin's most talked about stand-up comedy shows, held on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday nights in The Stag's Head. We also had a chat about his comedic influences growing up, how he works on his sets for different audiences, and it wouldn't be right for two Irish lads to chat and not talk about oral sex.

Irish comic @trickaduu joins us to talk Everton, ManU vs Chelsea, the BPL & helps me trash @martinwharris spurs.

Ahead of his performances at the Komedia Brighton on 11th and 12th March I chat with Irish comedian Keith Farnan. Keith has performed all over the world, has a number of Edinburgh shows under his belt and has appeared on TV comedy specials in Ireland, UK, Australia, Canada, US and Holland. His performance on Michael McIntyre's Comedy Roadshow in 2011 has over half a million views on YouTube. We talk about his origins in comedy, his inspiration for his shows that cover topics such as economy, the death penalty, racism, feminism and privacy. We even chat about how being Irish can be an advantage here in Britain.
