No Matter What- Boyzone

This episode the lads dive into No Matter What. Reviewing the Boyzone documentary and reliving a moment in time where the UK fell in love with an Irish boyband. A time when Irish lads ruled the charts and the UK couldn’t get enough. It didn’t matter where you were from, everyone was all in. A great bunch of lads and a proper representation of the Irish underdog making their way to the top. We talk the hype, the impact and what it was like growing up in that era when Irish pop music was front and centre… even for the ones who now pretend they’ve never heard a single song! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

School Days Over

School Days Over In this episode, the lads look back at what it was like going to school as Irish Londoners. From Catholic schools to Church of England, we talk about the differences, the characters and the things that just felt normal at the time. We also get into the English and Irish habits we picked up along the way and how the two cultures blended without us even realising. We also look back on the teachers and dinner ladies we remember fondly, the ones who stood out and the small moments that have stayed with us over the years. The everyday experiences that shaped and looking back now, it probably sounds mad… but to us, it was just life. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
