From Howth Seagulls to Sephora Kids

The Arthur and Donal Podcast… Donal is fresh off filming his new TV show and ready to unpack a bizarre story he can’t stop thinking about… a seagull screeching competition. As a Howth native, he has plenty to say about the increasingly bold (and slightly terrifying) local seagulls, while Arthur compares it to his completely different upbringing in Armenia. The conversation takes a turn into the world of skincare, as Arthur welcomes new warnings aimed at parents buying products for young kids.

Dublin Landmark Shake-Up & Air Travel Chaos: Why Staycations Are Rising

This week on Let’s Do This! The Arthur & Donal Podcast… Arthur’s entered his farmer era, and Donal has questions. From photoshoots in fields to getting way too up close with cows (yes, including a surprise cow-tongue “massage”), things take a bizarre turn as they dive into what we actually eat from a cow… and Donal confirms: pretty much everything 👀 But what starts as farm chat quickly spirals into something bigger. If you won the lotto, where would you go? Easy: holiday! Except… with the fuel crisis disrupting air travel, is that even realistic anymore? They break down what’s happening with flights right now and why more people are ditching trips abroad for staycations in Ireland. Plus, their top spots to visit around the country. Then, a more serious note. The lads react to the news that the iconic St Stephen’s Green Shopping Centre is set for a major revamp, and people are not happy. Donal shares childhood memories tied to the Dublin landmark, while Arthur reflects on experiencing it for the first time after moving to Ireland. Is this the end of an era? 🎧 Listen now and join the conversation. What do you think about the changes, and are staycations the new normal? ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Hobbies Are Back, Pets Are Everything, and Madonna Isn’t Done Yet

Expect plenty of laughs and relatable parenting moments! The conversation takes a nostalgic turn as Arthur reminisces about Armenian sewing while Donal dives into his love of Irish patchwork. It sparks a bigger discussion about the surprising revival of hobbies and why Gen Z is rediscovering crafts, creativity, and slow living after years of doomscrolling on social media. Listeners have also been asking about Donal’s beloved dog Max after a string of frightening health scares, including one moment where Donal almost ran him over with the car (yes, really… you’ll have to listen to understand!)
