Brother Richard Hendrick

For our Xmas ep we interviewed my older bro - here’s the blurb; Brother Richard Hendrick is a priest-friar of the Irish branch of the Capuchin Franciscan Order (as well as Dave’s actual older brother!) For over 20 years he has worked to bring the insights of the Christian Contemplative tradition to greater public awareness, particularly with reference to modern Mindfulness theory. He’s served as director of Youth Ministry for the Irish Capuchins for over ten years.He has also worked in hospital and prison relief chaplaincy roles and in parish work. He is currently a member of the Church St community and Parish Priest in Halston St Church in Dublin’s north inner city. He came by to talk to us about his cryptid theory, sudden internet stardom and his favourite apocalypse which both served to scare and surprise a young Ben Hennessy back in the day!

Chloe Green / Thoughtbubble

In a special pre Thoughtbubble episode (where we’ll be doing our first ever live show!) we meet Chloe Green, one of the three (that’s right there’s only three of them!) festival directors! Chloe’s been hard at work with her colleagues putting the UK’s largest comic book featival and convention together - a job that as you’ll hear never really ends. Not only that but Chloe’s a creator too with a couple of books to her name. We talk life’s strange path (from bank desks to festival floors) and the rather unique bingo based game that helped her and her friends pass the time while in lockdown (hint it’s very apocalyptic-y).
