I Don't Know Her

And we were like... Why are you so obsessed with me? But actually we like it please stay. This week we’re talking about a favourite feud, gay rat weddings, straight up rat politicians and then another feud! Full circle!  And! Karen this week IS ANOTHER FULL CIRCLE!! If you catch our drift (of course you don’t)

Sorry, we meant falafelafelafel... This week on I Don't Know Her everyone has SEX AND SEXUALITY on the brain - we stan friend of the Shift @SexSiopa and introduce everyone to the wonders of @autostraddle - you're welcome. We also have to ask - wtf is with things still being developed purely to satiate the male gaze, and nothing being developed to satiate the gays gays gays?? We don't like it. Be better, pop culture.  Karen this week is very warm and fuzzy - looking. Neither warm nor fuzzy in character to be quite frank.

We have a guest SING IT WITH US NOW weeee haaaave, a guest! And it’s the wonderful, talented, tall, Erin McGathy! You’ll have heard of her on such things as Dreamgun, the MOB theatre and being a general powerhouse of comedy, and don’t we do you good by having her on, yes we do. This episode explores feelings, be they about tribute bands or just like... having them openly! Also the hours spent watching pointless videos and the benefits of knowing when you took your medication.  FURTHERMORE (that’s right) we get to know a lake and just how lakey lakes can lake. (Ssssssss, precipitation)

Mystery! Intrigue! Ridiculous emoji choices! All this and more in this instalment of I Don’t Know Her, where we discuss an iconic relic of Dublin, a weird and wonderful Twitter page, and yellow-skinned cartoons as tools of expression (or not). Aoife and Bláithín get nostalgic and Karen is hard to pronounce, and frankly everyone’s head should be on a goddamn ancient coin!

Beep beep bitches, get out the way! Sorry for being rude we love you.  On this week's I Don't Know Her Aoife enlightens you to the ways of Parttiing Harrdison (Patti Harrison phew we got there), and we discuss the pros and cons of tattoos (cons: permanent; pros: clunge). Additionally, Bláithín thinks she would survive for longer in a Zombie apocalypse with absolutely with no basis for that at all, and yo, why are there so many single use plastics and no single use vegetables?? WE'RE SINGLE LADIES AND WE CARE ABOUT THE ENVIRONMENT!!! All that, topped off with an unmissable, unintelligible, frankly ridiculous Karen that had us laughing our beepers off.

On this week's I Don't Know Her Podcast, voices are getting smaller and personalities are getting bigger! Everyone's ego's inflated on this episode, just go with it. We want to know everything from comedy roasts to scorned women to where the word Lent came from. Aoife has BEEF with all the vegans (we are not sorry for being hilarious) and Bláithín wrestles with the ever-complicated, completely fabricated social etiquette that comes with having sex with friends (we are sorry for getting a bit wordy there - she wants to ride everyone.) Karen is Canadian, there’s really not much more that can be said about that.

Nu air hu dis? in this installment of the I Don't Know Her podcast - Bláithín realises she had a brain the whole time it just needed oxygen and teenage enlightenment; Aoife has already found her enlightenment in some 'mindful stretching'; it turns out actually the radio star killed the radio, weird; and we beg you to please stop trying to make us care about Game of flippin Thrones.  All topped off with perhaps the funniest round of Who is Karen yet - let us know what you think!

Are you multilingual? BLÁITHÍN IS. Are you frightened of being kidnapped? AOIFE IS. (Actually they're technically both both...) AND THEY HAVE THINGS TO SAY ABOUT IT. Also, an appeal to CiShEt MeNnNnnnnNNnNn to come correct please, stop harassing us in the street yeah pal? Yeah buddy? We shouldn't have to ask ya mate. And another thing! Gay icons should be gay! This concludes our I Don't Know Her Ted Talk (Mariah Talk if you will). PSYCH no it doesn't - to round us up, an unprecedented first on the show as this week's Karen is still alive!!

Join Aoife and Bláithín on this week's 'I Don't Know Her' to discover the true meaning of Mother's Day (spoiler alert: it's mothers) and why New Zealand's prime minister Jacinda Ardern is THE BEST PRIME MINISTER. They delve into life's big questions...does Aoife's granny have a gun? Do women fit in spacesuits? Can you even go to space on your period?! Tune in to find out. Also, Bláithín gets turned on by Karen, because of course she does. 

It's that time of the week again, where your podcast thinks it's your life coach! Stop eating meat! Make your bed! Feel good about yourself with the help of films! Remember your passwords! Create a train service to Donegal! Stop pretending you hate your wife you piece of trash! All this and more in this week's episode of I Don't Know Her, where Aoife O'Connor and Bláithín de Burca are apparently living out their existential crises right before your... ears.  Also! Karen is Italian, married and jealous - and that's all Karen is! Tune in.

Don't question the name and it won't question you. HELLO! Another weird episode of I Don't Know Her is here, and this week we're remembering 2014's smash hit Smash, which was a hit with Aoife; Bláithín has a lit recommendation for everyone (although today she's kinda let us down with a post that is QUESTIONABLE, why you gotta ruin our reccs Litty?!), and we discuss 2 mysteries facing Ireland today: Why all the dead mice? Why do Americans call St Patrick Patty?! And just what is our Paddy's beef with Taylor Swift?  All that and more, plus Karen is a slippery character!

This week on I Don't Know Her, we're getting lively, ashy, and a bit Northern Irish.  We ask all the hard-hitting questions, like "is that sh*t on your head?", "why is Olivia Colman so great?" and "how adult is your adult-only hotel?".  Plus, Who Is Karen drops in from County Antrim to talk about how great landlords really are.

We Came, we Dined, we directly quoted daytime reality shows. This week on I Don't Know Her, we hear some brilliant celebrity impressions, Aoife talks plainly about being a comedian, and we discuss Instagram's lack of functionality re: Bláithín's ego. Everybody comes away questioning reality.  Plus! A surprise on this week's Who Is Karen - let's just say... The melon is extremely bluff.  All this and more for you lucky listeners, and at the end, there’s Shia LaBeouf.  Hey that rhymes!

The sun will come out, TODAY as another instalment of I Don't Know Her sees Bláithín stanning a certain hip hop artist (not for the first or last time); Aoife discusses a new, long-overlooked feminist icon, and everyone laments the fact that certain technologies haven't been invented while people find the time to correct others on their use of words that should exist.  Also this week, Karen can't figure out how to pronounce her own band name, but does provide some Sparkling Bubbles. Tune in!

This week on 'I Don't Know Her' This. Love. Has. Taken Its Toll, On Aoi-fe and Bláith-ííín...  Sorry. Anyway! Cinematic hidden gems, Gillian Anderson & sueing LIFE itself! What more could you want? Plus, a burlesque star drops in to show off her Las Vegas lifestyle!

Episode 4 of I Don't Know Her sells us all on the practical and productive benefits of 'Singletasking' (yes Aoife did make it up), sex-positive content leads Bláithín to want to lay eggs, and everyone laments the fact that cats die sometimes. Also: skiing, god? Wtf?   Then in our Who is Karen segment, get ready to go further back in time than ever, to learn as little as ever! Now go lay a goddamn egg.

This week on I Don't Know Her, Aoife and Bláithín really get down to business and tackle the questions on everyone's mind... Is hanging around bell towers dressed as Quasimodo an acceptable pastime? What's Bláithín's favourite thing about taking out her menstrual cup in the shower? And what's the deal with David Attenborough? Let's settle this once and for all.  Plus our improv segment Who Is Karen welcomes another ghost in the studio serving up heaps of Austrian positivism!

Episode 2 (point zero) of I Don't Know Her is weirder than episode 1 and it shows. Tune in to hear Bláithín and Aoife knowing about all sorts from Beyoncé to Cher, from Nicolas Cage to your local cobbler, from the environment to sequins, and let Karen teach us all about the links between being a footballer and an undertaker.

The debut episode of I Don't Know Her sees Blá and Aoife take their first podcasting steps into throwing shade on things they don't want to know and throwing buckets of joy onto things they wish you knew. Prepare to learn about Wiggles, Bachelorettes and very possibly find out who is Karen..
