For centuries, members of the B’doul Bedouin tribe lived in the caves around the ancient city of Petra, Jordan. Then, in the 1980s, the government forced the tribe to move in the name of preserving the geological site for tourists. But if the residents are forced to leave, and if their heritage has been permanently changed, then what exactly is being preserved? Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

It’s the charity’s biggest fundraising event and aims to raise millions of euros to support cancer patients and progress cancer research. In this episode, Kathy Sheridan is joined by Daffodil Day Ambassador Tara Doonan, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2022 at 36 years-old. Tara lives in Cavan but travelled to the Mater Hospital in Dublin for her treatment. In today’s episode she talks about the shock of her diagnosis, the road to recovery and the financial impact of cancer, from travel and parking expenses, to the loss of income.

Sarah Corbett Lynch was just eight-years-old when her father Jason was killed at their home in North Carolina by her stepmother Molly Martens and her father Tom Martens in 2015. Over the next decade, the Martens, who claimed self defence, were put on trial for murder, had their convictions quashed and later took a plea bargain for voluntary manslaughter which saw each of them spend less than five years in prison. For all of that time, Corbett Lynch and her older brother Jack had to remain silent on the case, but now, in her new memoir ‘A Time For Truth', she tells her story for the first time. In this episode, she joins Róisín Ingle to discuss the heartbreak and loss that has defined her young life and shares her account of the events leading up to the night her father was killed. But first, Irish Times podcast presenter Bernice Harrison is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week including the Dublin Rape Crisis centre’s response to Conor McGregor at the White House, Millie Bobby Brown’s plea to the media and why everyone's talking about the new Netflix show Adolescence.

Rosie O’Donnell's move to Ireland / The importance of foster care 1:08:58

1:08:58

In Ireland, more than 5,500 children are currently in foster care. This could be because of illness in the child’s family, the death of a parent, neglect, abuse or violence in the home, or simply because the parent or family is not coping. Whatever the reason, foster carers are there to take care of children who cannot live with their own family, either on a short-term or long-term basis. In today’s episode, we hear from two foster carers Sinead O’Donnell and Sharon Kelly. O’Donnell, who lives in Donegal, began fostering during Covid and has welcomed two young girls (sisters) into her home. Kelly, who lives in Kilkenny has fostered children for more than a decade and has provided foster care to two children since birth. They tell Róisín Ingle about why they wanted to open up their homes, the challenges involved and what advice they’d give to anyone considering becoming a foster carer. But first Irish Times Opinion editor Jennifer O’Connell is here to discuss some of the stories making headlines this week including American comedian Rosie O’Donnell’s decision to move to Ireland, why girls are getting their periods earlier and why Dublin City Council might elevate the Molly Malone statue.

Born and bred in New York, the last place that Rosie Schaap thought she’d end up, was living in a rural village in Northern Ireland, miles away from the bustling city she once called home. But that’s exactly where she’s found herself. Five years ago, the writer and journalist moved from NYC to the tiny town of Glenarm in Co Antrim, in search of a new life. The writer and journalist was grieving the death of her husband and her mother - who died just one year apart - and was also looking for a new way to heal. In her new memoir, The Slow Road North, Schaap details her personal story of loss and the unexpected solace she found in a small seaside village in Northern Ireland. She tells Róisín Ingle all about it on today’s episode. But first, Irish Times podcast producer Aideen Finnegan is here to discuss some of the stories making the headlines this week, including the lifting of a travel ban on controversial influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate, the new domestic violence register being proposed by Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan and why an Oscar could finally be on the cards for veteran actress Demi Moore.

These days, we’re hearing a lot more about ultra processed foods and the dangers of over eating these highly industrialised food products. But what exactly are UPFs, how bad are they really and how can you spot them when out doing the grocery shop? In this episode, nutrition consultant Sophie Morris joins Róisín Ingle to answer all these questions and to explain why she’s joined the growing movement away from ultra processed foods. Morris has amassed more than 300 thousand followers on her Instagram account, where she spreads the word about healthy eating, educates people on ingredient lists and suggests ‘clever supermarket swaps’ to her followers. In this conversation, we hear about her move from finance into food, her concerns about the hot school lunches scheme being rolled out across the country and what’s next for her in 2025. But first, Irish Times journalist Niamh Towey is here to talk through the stories that caught her eye this week, including the disappointing results of a national childcare survey, why Nikita Hand has brought Conor McGregor back to court and how Mark Zuckerberg’s is bringing a new “masculine” energy to Meta.

It’s a brand new year and to celebrate we’ve got a brand new segment to kick off the podcast each week. It’s our weekly news wrap covering the stories that affect women in Ireland and around the world. This week, Róisín Ingle is joined by Irish Times podcast producer Aideen Finnegan to talk about some of the stories that caught her eye this week and what she's been watching and listening to. They'll be discussing Meghan Markle’s new lifestyle series for Netflix (With Love, Meghan), the choice words that Pope Francis used to describe an order of nuns and why Elon Musk has been spewing hate and vitriol towards Britain’s safeguarding Minister Jess Philips over an historic grooming scandal in the UK. Later on, Ingle is joined by pharmacist and presenter of the Wonder Care podcast Sheena Mitchell to talk about the “frustrating” delay in the Government’s roll-out of free HRT. Despite the scheme being labeled as “free”, Mitchell says women will still face many other associated costs when it finally launches.

The Women’s Podcast 2024 review 58:46

2024 was the year Americans chose a convicted felon as their next president, Afghanistan banned women from speaking or singing in public, and the slaughter of innocent women and children continued in Gaza. In Ireland, a record number of female candidates stood in November’s general election, but only seven additional women were elected to the next Dáil. A brave young woman called Natasha O’Brien, used her voice to condemn the leniency of her attacker’s suspended sentence, while a jury in a civil court found Conor McGregor guilty of raping Nikita Hand in a Dublin hotel in 2018. Irish boxer Kellie Harrington brought home gold from the Paris Olympics, Taylor Swift finally returned to Ireland, and we bade farewell to some exceptional Irish women, including Nell McCafferty and Enda O’Brien. To discuss some of these pivotal moments from the year and their impact on women in Ireland and around the world, Kathy Sheridan is joined by journalists Niamh Towey and Alison O’Connor.
