138: The Sodshow, Caitriona Redmond Oct 18, 2013

Show notes

Saturday just gone, The Sodshow was crowned Ireland’s Best Podcast 2013. As it happened, we were in the company of a former guest of the show and down right lovely lady, Caitríona Redmond alias Wholesome Ireland. The suggestion was made, the microphone was taken and for the first time in the history of the Sodshow Peter Donegan and Brian Greene became the interviewees. Where, why and just how did Brian and Peter end up working together ? God only knows. But we try to answer that question; and so much more.
