  • Róisín Ingle: My breast cancer diagnosis

    Róisín Ingle: My breast cancer diagnosis
    Dec 26 2024

    Each week on The Women’s Podcast, we hear from women from all walks of life who come on to talk about their lived experiences, their life stories, their passions and their challenges. This week, it’s the turn of podcast presenter Róisín Ingle, who in October 2023 received a life-changing breast cancer diagnosis. This is the first time she has spoken about it on the podcast.


    In this conversation with co-presenter Kathy Sheridan, Ingle talks about the shock of the diagnosis and how the subsequent weeks and months unfolded. We also hear about the joyful parts of her year, including a proposal and a wedding with a very striking pink dress, a summer holiday that her daughters described as the best of their lives and a glorious few hours spent dancing to Taylor Swift at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin.

  • Sober at Christmas: How to enjoy being alcohol free

    Sober at Christmas: How to enjoy being alcohol free
    Dec 19 2024
    For many people, alcohol and the festive season go hand in hand. It’s the season of excess when normal rules around eating and drinking seem to go completely out the window and a mimosa for breakfast becomes perfectly normal. But now, more and more people are deciding to cut down on their alcohol consumption over Christmas or are opting to go completely sober. In this episode, we hear three different perspectives of drinking at Christmas. Writer and recovery advocate Mary-Kate Harrington talks about her personal experience with alcohol addiction and how she is navigating her second sober Christmas. Podcast producer Suzanne Brennan talks about becoming more mindful of drinking and explains what non-alcoholic alternatives are on offer, while presenter Róisín Ingle talks about her decision to give up drinking one year ago and how it’s brought much joy to her life.

  • Housewife of the Year winners: Ena Howell and Margaret Carmody

    Housewife of the Year winners: Ena Howell and Margaret Carmody
    Dec 12 2024
    The Housewife of the Year competition ran for almost three decades, from 1969 to 1995. Thousands of women from all around Ireland entered, hoping to win a cash prize along with some home appliances, such as a luxury gas cooker. In later years, the competition was broadcast on RTÉ, featuring footage of contestants taking part in domestic duties at home, followed by a glitzy finale where the finalists were interviewed by Gay Byrne. Last month, the Housewife of the Year documentary was released in Irish cinemas. In the film, former contestants share their (mostly positive) experiences of taking part in the contest and speak about what Irish society was like for women during that time. In this episode, Róisín Ingle is joined by two former winners, Ena Howell (1992) and Margaret Carmody (1978). The pair share their own personal stories and reflect on what it was like to take part and eventually win.
