Lorna felt like she was on a school tour when she visited Dublin for our group walk in Phoenix Park. Audrey then put on her tour guide hat and we experienced all of Dublin's delights...even the Portal!

Audrey has the secret to dealing with those pesky eyebags without cosmetic surgery and its actually hilarious!

We wonder how we, and many others, ended up doing social media? The truth is we feel we have many different aspects to our lives and yet people only see what we want to show. The reality is there is so much more going on in "real life" than people know.

We chat about the hit series "Baby Reindeer", the danger of social media, and has the real Martha been discovered?

As always, thank you for listening. We would really appreciate if you could like and review or even share our podcast, as it really helps.

WE ARE BACK!!!

We are so happy to back after a little break! We are catching up with you all in this episode. We are chatting about our group that we hilariously (or so we think anyway) called "See You Next Tuesday" and chat how its helping us in so many unexpected ways.

Audrey has all the celebrity gossip and we chat about how dangerous , allegedly. the powerful mega celebs in this world

We're back with another tale of Audrey (bordering on being a stalker) and an encounter with Keith Duffy!

We chat about the hype about Barry Keoghan's Saltburn, but quite frankly, we're afraid to watch it after hearing so much about it. Dirty git ha ha!

Big week for Cork in the news this week and we catch up on our own wellbeing and reiterate that January can be a horrible month online with so many ads, chat of weight loss etc. Instead of our news feeds being saturated with weight loss, shouldn't we be promoting body positivity at any size you are comfortable with?

As always, you can contact us via social media @holathepodcast and thank you for listening x

This week we have a very special guest. Dympna, aka Dimplestilskin, who rose to fame in 2023 with her hilarious sketches.

Her videos are so relatable, and based on everyday simple situations that we all find ourselves in.

We get to know more about Dympna, and chat about how she handles the attention her page has brought her. From her brilliant way dealing with trolls to the thousands of positive comments she receives. It's a very real chat and Dympna is so lovely and down to earth. We were thrilled to have her as a guest.

As always, you can contact us via social media @holathepodcast and thank you for listening.

Welcome back to the first episode of 2024!

We are chatting about our Christmas and how January can be a tough month. Apparantly January 8th is known as "Blue Monday". There'll be none of that here though!

From social media being flooded with diet plans, to DM's insinuating we need "help" with our diet and fitness, it can be overwhelming. Ignore those doses!

We chat about Gypsy Rose Blanchard and her sudden rise to fame. Is it right or wrong?

We are doing a live podcast in Seachurch in Ballycotton on March 10th at 2pm. Tickets are available now at 20.00 Euro. We'd love to see you there and thank you as always for he support.

We had to chat about the horrific riots that occured in Dublin and wonder will Dublin ever be the same again? Would you feel safe in the city?

Christmas is almost upon us and we'd love to hear your favourite Christmas memories. You can contact us via social media @holathepodcast

We discuss how here's a love/hate with people getting matching family christmas pj's or outfits, but is it ever ok to moan about it online? Why do people begrudge?

It's been some week for celebrity gossip! Britney Spears is rightly letting the cat out of the bag with her book "The Woman In Me".

Has Justin Timberlake 's clean cut persona been damaged by this?

The media has a habit of pulling old interviews/footage from years ago to shame celebrities. We question if this is fair as some things that are deemed unacceptable today, were not unacceptable years ago.

And Patrick Kielty's pouch. We've all seen it, you can't avoid it.

We are back and this week we're chatting about the spoofers we've come across this week.

Audrey chats passionately about a documentary that aired this week with former chief medical officer Tony Holohan. He was hailed as a hero during covid, but has certainly been remembered in a different light in relation to the Cervical Check scandal. We're interested to hear your views on this topic.

We are back this week and we are quite excited by some news that we need your help with.

We're chatting about the latest drama around Holly Willoughby and a foiled plot to kidnap her. Some think it was a real threat and some believe that it was a well thought out plan to revive her persona as the nation's sweetheart!

Audrey gives her opinion on the Beckham documentary and tells us why she was jealous of the dog on her special day (and poor Lola didn't have it easy!)

We would really appreciate if you could vote for us on the "Listener's Choice" category of the Irish Podcast Awards. We'd like to thank everyone who has voted so far, it really does mean a lot to both of us so THANK YOU!

This week Lorna opens up about feeling overwhelmed about finding a school place for her son. I'm sure many parents struggle with anxiety which can be heightened at times like this, especially when trying to find a school place in an autism class and a lot of schools simply have no spaces. Audrey chats about the mystery that is social media algorithms after one of her videos went viral on Tik Tok. Lorna & Audrey now both realise that they haven't a bulls notion how social media works!! In our "Scarlet for Yeh" section, we're talking new fashion trends. Lorna thinks the new Ugg shoes are basically Crocs without holes and Audrey gives Lorna the ick with her choice of footwear.

This week Audrey is back from a very last minute trip to New York.

Audrey gives us great tips on how to do New York on a budget. She got chatting to an American lady whos was carrying a gun and spoke about how strange she thought WE were without our law enforcement carrying guns.

Audrey's love affair with Tubs continues and we're wondering what's next for him?

We will be back with a new episode next Monday!

This week Lorna & Audrey are chatting about the "Free" IVF that was announced this week. We both have had our struggles and heartache relating to growing our families and this new scheme is not really "free" though. It comes with terms and conditions attached, that are insulting to a lot of women and quite frankly only adds to any heartache and suffering that women may already be experiencing.

Social media lit up pink this week with Barbie madness, and is social media giving our young people an unrealistic view of life ?

This week while Audrey is on holidays, Lorna chatted to Ruth Leonard who is better know as Totally Ruthless.

Ruth has amassed quite a following on social media with her hilarious sketches and videos. During the pandemic Ruth discovered Tik Tok which has seen her videos go viral across the world.

We chat about about some tough times from life before Ruthless. Ruth is extremely open about her ambition for Ruthless to become her career as there is a false narrative that if you have a large following that you make money from it (Which is false!). However, I have no doubt there are great things to come from Ruth in the near future.

We are back! This week Lorna & Audrey catch up with all the goss. We discuss well known couples with a big age gap. Does age really matter ? (once you are of legal age obvs).

Audrey has taken to AI again asking it to make her a rich woman, but Lorna just gave her the ultimate money making idea which will see us both give up the day jobs soon!

Tik Tok, why is User12345678910 so mean that they they feel they can comment anything to anybody, no matter how hurtful or rude?

Audrey is off on her holidays soon and we asked listeners about their crazy holiday prep before they can get on that plane and loads more, so do give us a listen.
