I sit down with Hannah at the Tara Building to chat about her research in LGBT Theatre in Dublin and The Project Arts Centre respectively. We chat her journey through photography, sculpture and writing that led to her research today and what it meant to be part of the LGBT community through the last few decades in Ireland until the Marriage Referendum in 2015. Her upcoming exhibition at The Project Art Centre will feature archived material from Alternative Miss Ireland. Hannah is a Researcher, Historian, Sculpture, Photographer and Writer. Her thesis 'Foul, Filthy, Stinking Muck' looks at the role The Project Art Centre had during the activist movements of the 70s, 80s and 90s. It highlights notable contemporary theatre works that have addressed LGBTQ issues and demonstrates how Project continues to play a role in platforming LGBTQ works.  With Being Earnest, I hope to create a space away from the noise of everyday life and distraction. I hope to offer a place, to listen, to share, to be engaged and hopefully inspired. Each week I'll be joined by sound people doing great things to have honest and genuine chats. I hope you enjoy Being Earnest. Thanks for Listening.

No matter the journey you take into motherhood, every mum deserves a community of support and a tribe that has our back.In this episode of everymum the podcast, Ranae Von Meding shares her experience of using Reciprocal IVF with her wife Audrey to bring their two daughters into the world and how she discovered that as married same sex parents in Ireland, who used this form of IVF, that they do not both have equal legal rights to their daughters.Reciprocal IVF or, ‘Shared Motherhood' is a really special form of IVF treatment where one mum supplies the egg and the other carries and births the baby. But in Ireland, this means that only the mum who birthed the baby has legal parental rights – while the mum who gave her egg and her genetic DNA does not.Ireland has taken huge steps in the last few years towards marriage and same sex equality and as we mark 2 years since the Marriage Referendum we want to shine a spotlight on a campaign aimed to achieve equal rights for all parents in Ireland – regardless of sex, sexuality or choice of fertility treatment.

In 2015 between the Marriage Referendum results and the American Supreme Court Ruling a video of a romantic proposal was shared on the Huffington Post website. It was one of those videos that melt your heart before you’ve even got out of bed. But aside from the romance of the whole thing one of the guys was very familiar.  Craig Young a member of the fleeting 90s pop group; Deuce.  In an episode that accidentally ended up in the archives Gearoid chat to Craig about his time as a pop singer which was considerably less glamorous then it looked and his transition to a successful career on US television in shows like; NCIS, Hawaii 5-0, Sabrina the Teenaged Witch, Charmed and The Last Ship. A very interesting chat with a lovely guy about his fascinating journey.

It was a “bizarre year in politics” says Irish Times political reporter Sarah Bardon, who found herself with very little to report on some nights in Leinster House, as the minority government argued behind closed doors and not much got done. She joined her colleague Harry McGee and historian Diarmaid Ferriter this morning, to review the year gone by for the Irish Times Inside Politics podcast. The panel discussed opinion polls and the dreadful year they have had, with Harry McGee conceding that political pundits are far better at analysing the past than they are predicting the future. This time last year a strong general election performance was predicted for Fine Gael and a disastrous one for Fianna Fáil. How wrong they were, says Sarah Bardon, who cites Enda Kenny’s mantra of ‘keep the recovery going’ and Fine Gael’s obsession with the ‘fiscal space’ as two reasons why the party failed to perform at the polls as expected. Fine Gael advisors were the victims of “brain freeze” when it came to the Taoiseach’s campaign strategy, says McGee, and would have been better served by letting their leader loose on the public more. It has been a frightening year in many ways, says Diarmaid Ferriter, but the 1916 Centenary celebrations were an exception. They were dignified and engaging for the public, he said, with a feeling that they belonged to the people and not the state. The panel also discussed Brexit, Trump’s election and the emergence of activism outside the political sphere internationally. They also talked about the demise of Labour despite being instrumental in the Marriage Referendum and analysed the policy shifts of the Sinn Féin and Fianna Fáil parties over the past 12 months.
