This week's podcast comes ten years after Siamsa Tire was invited to perform at WERK, hosted by Thisispopbaby, the company which is co-directed by today's guest Phillip McMahon. Both companies appear to inhabit very different theatrical worlds which is why Joanne wanted to chat with Phillip, a Dublin-based director and playwright who holds a strong belief in active citizenship and taking responsibility as an artist to create places that people want to be in – be that in a theatrical setting or in the everyday. Enjoy!
Discussing the Irish government's response to the arts community and uproar that followed in the wake of announcements.
It's very easy to moan and groan about the influx of hotels and the homogenisation of the landscape in cities and towns around the country, but it's worth remembering that it’s not the job of hotel owners to shape the fabric of our society, it’s their job to build hotels and make money. So, who's job is it? When it comes to being custodians of culture and city planning, we have the Minister for Culture & Heritage, her department, Dublin City Council and many art institutions and councils. When it comes to the night time economy or life after dark, however, it is that so often these pursuits aren't considered culture. But, the fact of the matter is -- clubbing IS culture. This week, we're talking to Global Night Mayor advocate Mirik Milan, who was the first Night Mayor of Amsterdam in 2012, along with Philly McMahon, who has challenged the definition and scope of culture with ThisIsPopBaby. This episode of the podcast is longer than a club night in Dublin and it's time for us all to get behind and champion culturally relevant nightlife in Ireland. We also have the "complete Aisling", Sarah Breen as our county rep for Carlow, news from the week, top Carlow facts, Get In the Sea and of course, our Tuna Chicken Roll.

I WAS SO HAPPY to find out that Panti Bliss was here in Los Angeles as part of IRELANDWEEK...yes it's a glorious week where beautiful Irish people come to LA to speak in that HOT accent and show us all that Ireland has to offer. Hey, I'm Irish...these are my people. #IrelandWeek And to me there is nothing better than using your art to help others and give a voice to the voiceless--and that is exactly what Panti Bliss is doing. Always entertaining, always passionate, yet always thoughtful Panti has become one of the champions of LGBTQ Equality in Ireland. Largely after this truly incredible video went viral on several years ago..WATCH IT HERE! And if you're going to be Los Angeles come see Panti this Friday and Saturday.

Hilarious and poignant, Panti Bliss: Live In LA is a riotous comedy about life after 'Pantigate' - making movies and making history.
