Back To Yours

Businessman, drag queen, broadcaster and campaigner Rory O'Neill, aka Panti Bliss, lives together with his husband and dog in a unique apartment in Dublin city centre with rubber floors, a walk-in wardrobe and high-maintenance windows. Roísín visits for a chat about his various homes - in Ballinrobe, Dublin, Japan and Dublin again - and the interesting life he has lived in them. But first, a very quick tour of the the apartment.

North Strand gets some negative coverage but Sonya Lennon loves living here. And so does her neighbour Roisin Ingle, who pops around the corner to Sonya's family home for a chat about the neighbourhood, the homes of her past and her life working in fashion.

Guest: Oliver Callan, satirist and impressionist. Back at Halloween he welcomed Roisin to his apartment in Blackrock, where they talked about relationships, secrets and holding a mirror up to people.

Guest: Michael Harding, an Irish Times columnist and weaver of words. His latest book Chest Pains tells the story of a pivotal year for Micheal as he suffered from a heart attack.

Roísín Ingle goes back to Caitlin Moran's London home where she lives with husband Peter and two daughters. Caitlin, the journalist and bestselling author of How to Be a Woman, talks to Roísín about home life, her many moves, the chores that, infuriatingly, only she can see need doing, fame, finding new ways to get high - and much much more. It's hard to do Caitlin justice in a short blurb. We hope you enjoy the podcast. Back to Yours is supported by Green & Blacks.
