Topics covered : Mental health, homophobia, same-sex marriage referendum in Ireland, rejecting shame. This week marks 10 years of the marriage equality referendum in Ireland when the country overwhelmingly voted 'yes' and in doing so became the first country in the world to grant equal marriage rights to same-sex couples by popular vote.3 years ago I spoke to bar owner, drag queen and activist, Rory O'Neill aka Panti Bliss.Originally from Ballinrobe in Mayo, Rory lives in Dublin city with his husband Anderson and their dog Penny.We spoke in late February 2022 and at times there is an eerie poignancy to our conversation as it happened as Covid restrictions were being lifted here in Ireland, but before the invasion of Ukraine.In this conversation we speak about his now iconic Noble call in the Abbey Theatre and the events which led to it, he speaks about the impact the pandemic had on him, the freedom his alter ego Panti gives him, how he rejects shame of any kind and how he would like to be remembered. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week on Petty Little Things, the queens are back with a juicy new episode packed with sass, shade, and scandal. Davina and Victoria dish on the iconic roast of Panti Bliss, unveil the chaos and camp of the Devine Apprentice, and go in on a very specific group that's got them rotted: sound technicians (yes, really!). Plus, they tease what's coming up in their calendars—and yours—and wrap things up with the ever-unmissable Rotters of the Week. It's messy, it's petty, it's everything you need.Join us on Patreon : https://www.patreon.com/pettylittlethingspodFollow us on insta : https://www.instagram.com/pettylittlethingspod/?hl=enwww.instagram.com/davina.devinewww.instagram.com/victoriasecretdublin Hosted on Acast.

In this fabulously nostalgic episode of G&T: Sips & Giggles, Glenn and Tina Leggs Tantrum hop into their tacky time machine – held together with sequins, hairspray and sheer determination – to celebrate one of the most iconic events in Irish queer history: Alternative Miss Ireland (AMI).From its anarchic beginnings in 1987 to its glittering finale in 2012, AMI was more than just a drag pageant. It was a cultural movement – equal parts outrageous performance, biting satire, and heartfelt activism. With categories like Daywear, Swimwear and Talent (often stretched to their very limits), AMI raised over €335,000 for HIV/AIDS charities and helped launch the careers of legends like Panti Bliss, Shirley Temple Bar, and Veda.Tina shares her own journey from backstage nerves to being crowned Alternative Miss Ireland – complete with behind-the-scenes gossip, outfit drama, and a performance that brought the house down. Glenn and Tina also dive into the community spirit of AMI, its political punch, and why it still casts a rhinestoned shadow over Ireland's queer scene.Whether you were there in the Olympia cheering from the balcony or are just hearing about AMI for the first time – this one's for the misfits, the icons, and everyone who believes in the power of drag to change the world.Strap in – and tune in – as we take you on a glitter-drenched journey through the legacy of AMI. Got a question or a funny story for Sip & Share, then why not get in touch.

Renowned playwright Edward Albee talks about life, sex and the theater (interviewed in 2009 by Dixie Treichel and John Townsend of KFAI-Minneapolis/St. Paul's Fresh Fruit).

From being the 'Queen of Ireland' to 'Dancing with the Stars', there's not much that Rory O'Neill aka Panti Bliss can't do.Including appearing on an infamous US talk show.Rory joined Dave to chat the Gala Awards, Panti's stage show and Sinead O'Connor's voting panic.

This week's guest is, the inimitable, Ms. Panti Bliss. Panti is considered to be Ireland's foremost drag queen, “gender discombobulist” and “accidental activist.” Panti was the forerunner in Ireland's ‘Yes' campaign for marriage equality and in February 2015 she took to the stage of Dublin's Abbey Theatre to deliver a ten minute speech that was described as ""the most eloquent Irish speech"" in almost 200 years. It garnered support from RuPaul, Graham Norton, Stephen Fry, and Madonna. She is the recipient of a host of awards including the Award for contribution to Irish society - at the People of the Year Awards in 2014. In 2015 Panti's alter-ego Rory O'Neill was awarded an honorary degree from Trinity College Dublin for his contribution to LGBTQ+ rights and marriage equality. In 2016, following a reported 160% increase in HIV positive tests in Ireland between 2005 and 2015, as an advocate for others and small business owner, she turned the basement of her self named Panti Bar into a HIV testing center in a bid to help protect a new generation of young gay men. Panti was most recently on the Irish version of Dancing with the Stars, where Panti, aka Rory, performed out of drag, making Irish TV history with Ireland's first same sex dance couple appearing on screens across the country. Join us where we'll discuss Panti's activism, advocacy, and contributions to the LGBTQ+ community in Ireland and beyond. 

Sean talks to Professor Fiona Mulcahy about the many challenges she faced at the start of her career in genito-urinary medicine when there was very little known about HIV/AIDS, her strong relationship with her patients, and how she felt when Rory O‘Neill aka Panti Bliss dedicated their tribute dance on Dancing with the Stars to her.

What can I say about my guest this week that hasn't already been said? Panti Bliss, a.k.a Rory O'Neill is a pub landlady, performer, writer, activist and 'National F*cking Treasure'.

In this episode, Rory shared stories from his childhood in Mayo, figuring out what he wanted to do with the rest of his life as he approached 40 as well as his accidental activism. We loved this chat and hope you do too. If you want to catch Panti live, tickets are now on sale for her 'big, beautiful night out' in Dublin's Vicar Street. Until next Thursday. Darren.

Dáithí grew up in the heartland of Irish traditional music in Co.Clare, he was playing the fiddle by the age of six and his grandfather was the legendary concertina player Chris Dorney, but while his music draws on that well, and his own sense of place, his artistry is shaped by digital tools.

His work is highly original, sound-rich and evocative, and his side hustle is a collaboration with BellX1 singer Paul Noonan as the band 'House Plants'.

The Panti Personals S2 E7 Edel Meade Edel Meade is a jazz singer turned contemporary folk artist, She hails from Clonmel but has made Limerick her home and her latest album 'Brigids and Patricias' tells the stories of what it is to be a woman in Ireland from myth to misogyny; with songs about the true, though still unbelievable story of Bridget Cleary, whose husband burnt her to death saying he believed she was a changeling, and a powerful spoken word piece called' Long Way to Go' about gender violence, which chimes with an Ireland which has just mourned Ashling Murphy. With the announcement that Feb 1, St Brigid's Day, will become a new Irish national holiday from 2023, Panti Bliss explores why Edel is so fascinated by Brigid and how she is a cross between the pre Christian Celtic Goddess Brigit and the Christian saint,much loved in Ireland, who is so associated with the arrival of Spring, the feminine and womanhood, and why the new national holiday chimes with the public debate around gender violence. 'It's going to become ireland's women's day' says Panti while Edel connects it to social justice, seeing it reaching beyond the male and female, towards aspirations of fairness, equality and justice. Edel tells Panti Bliss her family roots, in Co Tipperary, are in farming not song but her will to sing was shaped by a couple of incredible nuns in her schools who encouraged and gave her confidence. A career path to journalism brought her to Chicago but instead of radio she studied the blues and came back to take a degree in jazz music and spent a decade performing as a jazz artist. She is a vocal coach, now teaching people to sing, in the University of Limerick, and her lockdown was spent developing new strings to her bow; learning to play the tin whistle, sing sean nós and play Irish traditional music. She's a committed life long learner and her track in 2022 sees her finally touring with the album, and getting to the Smithsonian in the USA to research cross over between Appalachian music and Irish traditional music there. In the show Edel performs live two of her songs for the Queen, accompanying herself on the gorgeous grand piano. Hear her sing 'Song of the Seal' and 'Not For This World' Other songs included are some of her jazz numbers God Bless The Child Blue Moon SideWays ( from her jazz album Blue Fantastia) and Song for Bridget Cleary and Long Way to Go from the album ' Brigids and Patricias) You can find out more about Edel on www.edelmeade.com And you can see her perform in gigs at The Belltable, Limerick on 10th Feb & at Riverbank Arts Centre on 12th Feb.

Panti Bliss in conversation with the hip hop artist Nealo ranges from dog love to Dublin, from leaving law to following his heart, and from becoming a Dad to why cannabis should be legal. Nealo performs three of his songs, with his good mates Rachel MaCauley and Adam Shanahan, live for the Queen, and shares how lockdown brought time to write, but also time to assess relationships and future. Nealo (aka Neal Keating) hails from Clonsilla and began his music and stage career with the hard core punk band Frustration but after a sideways trip into law he found his heart and home in hip hop and mixes music with professional dog walking! In this conversation he shares some ups and downs, his joy at being a father and why he wrote a song for his mother, Rosemary. Music you hear in this episode includes: Nealo 'You Can't Go Home Again' ( live with Rachel and Adam) Nealo 'Under The Weather' ( live with Rachel and Adam) Nealo 'All The Leaves Are Falling' * from the album Frustration 'Last Will and Testament' * from previous recording Nealo 'Rosemary' ( live with Rachel and Adam) You can find out more about Nealo and his album 'All The Leaves Are falling' here: www.nealo.ie The Panti Personals is an independent podcast by Athena Media - the producer is Helen Shaw, the digital editor is John Howard and the studio is Camden Recording Studios.

Panti Bliss is with alt-folk artist Sive in this episode of The Panti Personals. A proud Naas native Sive's voice and music is transformative, often called ‘dream folk', and beyond her creative and artistic life she uses music and song as a community musician in choirs whose members include those with dementia and care home residents. During lockdown, while some of us were binging on Netflix, she co founded a social enterprise called Embrace Music, using music to make a positive difference in the world, and wrote a song cycle for the hospice movement ‘Murmurations'. She's a climate warrior or worrier and says if you're not concerned about what's happening in the global environment you're not paying attention to the world. In this up close and personal conversation Sive shares three songs with Panti – one of her latest ‘I Think Before I Speak' and one of her old ones ‘If I Had A Home To Go To' as well as a beautiful ballad ‘Tenlach' – an old Irish word for home and hearth. Other music you hear in this episode includes: Sive – ‘We Are Moving' (from her first album) Murmurations – ‘Better Days to Come' Murmurations – ‘Blackbird's Lament' Murmurations – ‘The Dawning' (from The Irish Hospice project). as well as a clip from a recording with one of her community choirs. You can find out more about Sive and her music : www.sivemusic.com and you can support her on patreon where she shares a new demo every month – patreon.com/sivemusic. Sive has a gig in Clonacody House in Tipperary on 21st December with Mike Hanrahan and Emma Langford, and will be taking part in a First Fortnight event in the Riverbank Arts Centre in Kildare on the 15th Jan.
