On his final night in New Orleans, Brian Wise files a slightly frayed dispatch that captures Jazz Fest's defining tension: a festival big enough to feel infinite, and a schedule brutal enough to make you choose your regrets in advance. Episode 22 becomes a story about how festivals actually unfold—less like neat recaps and more like a sequence of weather calls, crowd-panics, and last-minute pivots. With the festival reckoning done, the conversation swings to another kind of canon-building: Joni Mitchell. Sparked by a Mojo “top 50 songs” feature, the hosts trade favourites (Wise namechecks “Don Juan's Reckless Daughter” and multiple Court and Spark staples, plus “Magdalene Laundries,” “Amelia,” and “River”), and Wise recalls seeing Mitchell at Jazz Fest in 1995, performing with her VG-8 guitar setup. They also discuss an attention-grabbing industry development: a Joni Mitchell biopic being directed by Cameron Crowe, with Meryl Streep cast as the older Mitchell and Anya Taylor-Joy as the younger. The enthusiasm is tempered by a journalist's instinctive question: can a close friend make an objective film?

Small Things Like These (2024), adapted by Edna Walsh from Claire Keegan's 2021 novel, tells the story of how coal merchant Bill Furlong (Cillian Murphy) uncovers disturbing secrets in a small Irish town in the mid-1980s. While going about his job delivering coal, Furlong discovers the truth about the Magdalene laundries—the abusive asylums run by Roman Catholic institutions from the 1820s until 1996. During this period, thousands of girls and women were imprisoned, forced to carry out unpaid labor and subjected to severe psychological and physical maltreatment. Furlong's discovery about the local convent in his town parallels the story of his remembering and having to come to terms with his own traumatic childhood. The film provides a powerful and moving depiction life in a small Irish town, the role of the Magdalene laundries, and the power of the Roman Catholic Church to enforce a code of silence about the abuses taking place within a community. Timestamps:0:00   Introduction2:14     The Magdalene laundries6:39    Laundries in a broader social context13:02   The convent's power and secrecy17:18    The absence of guilty men18:31   The banality of evil20:34  Why the laundries lasted so long24:00  How they ended26:02  Inquiries and accountability28:16   Focus on the laundries in films and popular culture30:38  The Bill Furlong character36:20  Ireland in the 1980sFurther reading:Seán Patrick Donlan, “Screening for Help – Irish Care and Confinement," Film Ireland (Nov. 21, 2025)Keegan, Claire, Small Things Like These (Faber & Faber 2021) McGourty, Courtney, “Not Merely a Shameful Past: The Case for State Responsibility in the Magdalene Laundries,” Opinio Juris  (Aug 11, 2023) Report of the Inter-Departmental Committee to Establish the Facts of State Involvement with the Magdalene Laundries (2013)Smith, James M., Ireland's Magdalen Laundries and the Nation's Architecture of Containment  (Univ.

Magdalene laundries were so‑called “refuges” or institutions where women and girls were sent for moral “correction”, often made to work long hours in harsh conditions with little or no pay. In this episode, we introduce the history of these laundries, why they existed, and how they affected the lives of those who passed through them.

Mary and Patrick were very much in love, but unwed. When she became pregnant, it began a 'perfect storm of rejection, denouncements and separation'. Frank Brehany talked about his book, showing the impact of the Magdalene Laundries Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Deirdre O'Kane joins Laura for a funny, honest and wide-ranging conversation about what it was really like being one of the few women in stand-up when she started out.She talks about the early days of breaking through in a male-dominated industry, finding her own voice, the reality of long-term relationships, raising kids in the age of WhatsApp chaos, and using humour to get through tough times.This is a brilliant mix of personal stories, cultural insight and big laughs.

Ellen Coyne and Pat Leahy join Hugh Linehan to look back on the week in politics:· With Independent TD Catherine Connolly and former MEP Mairead McGuinness having declared their candidacy, there will now be at least two names in the race for the Áras. But with no sign yet of a clear candidate for Fianna Fáil or Sinn Féin, are any of the potential names currently being discussed likely to gain party support? · Fianna Fáil's Niall Collins would be 'very uncomfortable' with a one-size-fits-all approach to a blanket VAT cut for the hospitality sector, given that luxury and five-star hotels would benefit from a measure they don't necessarily need. Some Fine Gael Ministers are unhappy with Mr Collins for criticising a policy that would help support entry-level jobs in rural Ireland. · And as the humanitarian crisis deepens in Gaza, urgency around the Occupied Territories Bill increases. The inclusion of services is still the big question given the huge potential knock-on effects for some businesses here. Plus, the panel picks their favourite Irish Times pieces of the week:· A new exhibition exploring the legacy of the Magdalene Laundries, fifty years since the release of Stanley Kubrick's Barry Lyndon, and Joe Canning's take on Tipperary's triumph in the All-Ireland hurling final against Cork.

The bestselling Irish author grew up on a farm set on “50 acres on the side of a hill”. Growing up, she witnessed a harsh, misogynistic country that convinced her she would never marry. Claire shares what she has learned about writing from a litter of newborn piglets.Her works Small Things Like These and Foster have both been made into movies.Claire's stories often take place in the landscape where she grew up — the farms and small towns of Wexford in Southeast Ireland.Claire was the youngest of six children, and when she was born their farmhouse had no running water and few books.Instead, Claire fell in love with horses.As a small child she would go to the wood with her brother, who was a lumberjack.Amongst the chainsaws and workmen, little Claire would drive a harnessed horse from behind, to the roadside, to help clear the heavy trees. And as she grew older, she developed a fierce determination to live life on her own terms.This episode was produced by Alice Moldovan.

Small Things Like These is a novella by Claire Keegan that centers around Bill Furlong, an Irish coal merchant who discovers exploitation at a local convent. The story is based on the real-life history of the Magdalene Laundries, workhouses where Irish girls and women were forced into unpaid labor. Keegan's book, originally published in 2021, was adapted to film in the fall of 2024. In today's episode, we revisit a conversation between Keegan and Here & Now's Deborah Becker. They discuss the author's interest in the novella form and why she chose to write a women-centered story with a male protagonist.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Les Magdalene Laundries, également connues sous le nom de « blanchisseries Madeleine », étaient des institutions en Irlande dirigées par des ordres religieux catholiques. Fondées au XIXe siècle, elles accueillaient des femmes jugées « déviantes » par la société, souvent pour des raisons telles que la grossesse hors mariage, la pauvreté, ou des comportements considérés comme immoraux. Les femmes y travaillaient dans des conditions très dures, sans salaire, et subissaient souvent des abus physiques, psychologiques, et parfois sexuels.Origines et ObjectifsLes blanchisseries Madeleine avaient pour but initial de "réformer" ces femmes et de leur offrir une rédemption spirituelle par le travail et la prière. Cependant, en pratique, ces institutions fonctionnaient plus comme des prisons où les femmes étaient isolées du reste de la société et soumises à un régime strict. L'idée sous-jacente était que le travail dur, notamment dans les blanchisseries, les purifierait de leurs "péchés".Conditions de vie et de travailLes conditions de vie dans ces institutions étaient extrêmement difficiles. Les femmes travaillaient de longues heures dans des blanchisseries, souvent dans des conditions insalubres et dangereuses. Elles ne recevaient aucune rémunération pour leur travail, et beaucoup étaient maltraitées physiquement et psychologiquement. Le régime alimentaire était insuffisant, les soins médicaux presque inexistants, et les contacts avec le monde extérieur étaient généralement interdits.Stigmatisation et isolementLes femmes dans les Magdalene Laundries étaient souvent stigmatisées et considérées comme « impures » ou « moralement déficientes » par la société. Ce stigma se poursuivait souvent même après leur sortie, ce qui rendait leur réintégration dans la société extrêmement difficile. Beaucoup de ces femmes ont passé des années, voire des décennies, dans ces institutions, sans espoir de retrouver une vie normale.Découverte et RéparationsÀ la fin du XXe siècle, les conditions des Magdalene Laundries ont commencé à attirer l'attention du public, entraînant des enquêtes et une condamnation généralisée des pratiques qui y étaient courantes. En 2013, le gouvernement irlandais a présenté des excuses officielles aux survivantes des Magdalene Laundries et a mis en place des mesures de compensation. Ce sombre chapitre de l'histoire irlandaise est aujourd'hui reconnu comme une grave injustice sociale, et il continue de susciter des débats et des recherches sur le traitement des femmes dans ces institutions.Les Magdalene Laundries sont désormais considérées comme un symbole des abus de pouvoir exercés sous couvert de morale religieuse, et leur histoire est un rappel des dangers de la stigmatisation sociale et de l'exploitation des vulnérables.

The Magdalene Laundries in Ireland were institutions run primarily by Catholic religious orders from the 18th to the late 20th century, where women and girls were sent to work, often under harsh conditions. These laundries were originally intended to house so-called “fallen women”—those deemed to have strayed morally, such as unmarried mothers, victims of abuse, … Continue reading Episode 420: The Magdalene Laundries of Ireland – “Fallen” Women Forced Into Slave Labor

Pour écouter l'émission en entier, sans pub, abonnez-vous ! https://m.audiomeans.fr/s/S-tavkjvmo Pendant plus de deux siècles, plusieurs milliers de jeunes femmes irlandaises sont envoyées dans des institutions censées leur donner une éducation et un savoir-faire conformes aux valeurs conservatrices et religieuses prônées par la société. Mais la réalité est toute autre. Loin des promesses de vivre à l'écart des maux du monde extérieur, ces filles sont en réalité contraintes au travail forcé et aux maltraitance des religieuses. Et dès les années 1990, de nombreuses victimes des couvents de la Madeleine témoignent des violences subies pendant plusieurs années, ce qui nous permet d'avoir connaissance de cette invraisemblable histoire pourtant réelle.

Under the 1913 Mental Deficiency Act, Britain imprisoned 50,000 people as “moral imbeciles.” Many of them were young women—working class, poor or unwed mothers, often victims of sexual assault—and most were confined to so-called Mental Deficiency Colonies for the rest of their lives. It was all down to eugenics; as the middle-class birth rate declined, Britain feared the working classes would outbreed their “betters,” so they imprisoned certain sexually active young people to keep them from having children. Not unlike Ireland's Magdalene Laundries, the Mental Deficiency Colonies were places of terrible abuse. Today we talk about this terrible chapter in British history with Sarah Wise, author of The Undesirables: The Law That Locked Away a Generation.

This week, Kate is solo and snorkeling through some of the latest and oldest of topics, like time. She warms up by wandering through things like grandfather clocks, the true crime history of the Magdalene Laundries (aka "Maggies") in Ireland, Harrison Butker's speech, lyrics where people quote Taylor Swift but don't realize she's quoting someone else, and ponders why we treat punctuality like it's an inherent virtue to the human condition when people had no way of knowing the precise time until the 18th century. Then, she crowdsources on IG in real time people's thoughts about having heirlooms as millennials in an era of fast fashion and furniture, highlighting the statement pieces of yesteryear that are incredibly pricey to maintain and whose experts are dying off. Then Kate goes off on a tangent about lucrative niche trade careers, like fixing grandfather clocks and elevator technicians, in case anyone's in the mood for a career pivot.

Hi friends, happy almost St. Patty's Day! I'll be honest with you… it's hard to shock me anymore. So when I tell you that this story that I found *SHOOK ME* to my core… you know it's for real. While I was looking into lesser-known Irish history, I kept reading about these things called the Magdalene Laundries. And while something like “laundry” seems innocent enough, this story is anything but that. These Catholic Church corruption-founded facilities destroyed the lives of countless women, and justice has yet to be served–even to this day.

Building on our conversation from earlier this week, Sadie and Stauney delve into the historical treatment of young women, often mere children, across different eras and contexts. We explore the enforced labor within the Magdalene Laundries, the coercion of women into prostitution as "Comfort Women," and the widespread issues of femicide, gender-based violence, and homicide that persist in contemporary society. Our discussion extends to the connections between these historical abuses and present-day challenges, examining the ways societal perceptions of women have influenced our culture. We confront the reality that our world, burdened by shame over its historical errors, struggles to amend the ongoing injustices. TW: abuse, rape, sexual assault, murder, homicide, death (no heavy details, but may still be triggering to some listeners. Take care of yourselves!)

From the 1920's until the 1990's, unwed mothers in Ireland  were forced into institutions such as Magdalene Laundries and Mother and Baby homes in order to conceal their sin of premarital sex and conceiving out of wedlock from the public eye. Within these institutions, run by religious organizations like the Bon Secours Nuns and Presbyterians/ Plymouth Brethren, these women and their children were subject to horrific abuse. The infant mortality rates of these institutions were nearly double the national rates. Reports show that 1 in 7 children born into these homes died from preventable illnesses, neglect, or malnutrition. Many children were stolen from their mothers and either boarded out as free laborers to local families or trafficked to wealthy families in Europe and the US through illegal adoptions. In 2014, a news story broke claiming there may be as many as  800 children believed to have been buried in a mass grave where the Bon Secour Mother and Baby Home in Tuam once stood.  This set off an outcry from the public to launch an investigation into these homes and into the dark secrets they hid from the public. This investigation led to uncovering the truth of how the religious orders behind these institutions profited off taking advantage of these “fallen women” while leaving many of them homeless and destitute and forcing mothers to give up their children for adoption against their will. This is a story of the overreach of religious power and how dangerous it can be to pursue a facade of holy uprightness and purity within a broken society, leaving innocent children as victims and collateral damage.

Coucou everyone! *trigger warning - abuse, sexual assault Have you ever wondered why Sinéad O'Connor ripped up the picture of the Pope on SNL? One of the reasons she did that is because of the Magdalene Laundries. Magdalene Laundries were Catholic-run institutions that were the equivalent of work houses for "fallen women". Many sinister things happened at these institutions and the ripple effects can still be felt in Irish society today. Cat then tells us about another dark spot on Irish history - the Ghost of Red Mary. So pour yourself a pint and tune in!

Washington Post staff writer Sarah Ellison speaks with "The Woman in the Wall" actor Ruth Wilson and showrunner Joe Murtagh about the new fictional crime series set against the backdrop of the Magdalene Laundries, former Irish institutions run by Catholic nuns that kept thousands of women and girls against their will to perform forced labor and how it was inspired by real-life stories of historical abuse. Conversation recorded on Wednesday, January 17, 2024.

In this eye-opening episode of The Oldest Profession Podcast, host Kaytlin Bailey dives into the dark history of the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland and the homes for unwed mothers in the United States. These institutions were once touted as charitable organizations for "fallen women" and pregnant teens, but concealed a dark reality of exploitation and abuse. Kaytlin Bailey exposes the shocking treatment of these women, the heart-wrenching stories of forced separations from their children, and the whorephobic philosophy that justified their horrific treatment. Through compelling research, this episode sheds light on the pervasive impact of these institutions that exploited and harmed countless lives.

Season 04 : British Isles Episode 04 : Magdalene Laundries : Ireland Historically, it's never been easy to be a woman. Even today in fact, depending on what part of the world you live in it can be excruciatingly difficult to live a life as a member of the fairer sex. But while things like the constant threat of sexual harassment or not having access to medical treatments are a sad reality in the modern day, that's arguably nothing compared to what the women of Ireland had to go through between the 18th and 20th centuries. Most people know about the oppression suffered by women in the past and applaud the progress made since then. Sometimes though, the situation was even worse than you've been told.Check us out on YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/c/SomewhereSinisterFollow us on social media:https://twitter.com/SomewhereSinhttps://www.instagram.com/somewheresinister/You can support us by donating a few bucks here:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/somewheresinThis show is part of the Spreaker Prime Network, if you are interested in advertising on this podcast, contact us at https://www.spreaker.com/show/5428204/advertisement

This week, Dana and Stephen are once again joined by Kat Chow, author of the memoir Seeing Ghosts. The panel begins by jumping into the ring with Cassandro, the oddly conflict-adverse biopic about the lucha libre superstar and exótico gay icon, Saúl Armendáriz, who is played terrifically by Gael García Bernal in a provocative, tour-de-force performance. Then, the trio wades into comedian–and future Daily Show host hopeful–Hasan Minhaj's thorny web of lies with Slate staff writer, Nitish Pahwa, who detailed the devastating impact of Minhaj's many falsehoods in his essay, “Hasan Minhaj Meant Something to Brown Americans. Was It All an Act?” Finally, the three react to “The 40 Greatest Stand-Alone TV Episodes of All Time,” written by the Slate Staff, a massive labor of love and fun thought experiment that spans The Sopranos, Atlanta, The Larry Sanders Show, Black Mirror, and High Maintenance.  In the exclusive Slate Plus segment, the panel discusses the impact the last few years have had on their lives, inspired by Katy Schneider's essay for The Cut, “The Pandemic Skip.” Email us at culturefest@slate.com.  Endorsements: Dana: Dana sent this to everyone she knows–family, friends, etc. It's a new interview with Martin Scorsese, written by Zach Baron for GQ entitled “Martin Scorsese: ‘I Have To Find Out Who The Hell I Am.'” In addition to films and moviemaking (his latest, Killers of the Flower Moon, is set to be released in October), the legendary director, now 80, also speaks candidly about life, its inevitable end, and his own mortality. It's a dream of an interview and absolutely sublime.  Kat: Small Things Like These, a beautifully written historical fiction novel by Claire Keegan about the horrific conditions women and children endured at Magdalene Laundries in Ireland.  Stephen: “Quantum poetics,” an essay in Aeon written by William Egginton, a professor of humanities at James Hopkins University. In it, Egginton describes the ways Argentine short story author, Jorge Luis Borges, and German theoretical physicist Werner Heisenberg “converged on the notion that language both enables and interferes with our grasp of reality.”  Outro music: “Forbidden Love” by OTE Podcast production by Cameron Drews.
