It’s Tangent Time again — the weekly bonus ep where Niamh reacts to whatever you send in (TikTok dramas, hot takes, the lot). This week Niamh is reacting to a listener-submitted TikTok: why are Irish brides getting ready in their knickers on the morning of the wedding?Niamh gets into double standards, why men in boxers never get questioned, and why a butt cheek is literally just… a butt cheek. Wear the knickers, wear nothing, wear whatever you want
Episode 80 is a pure catch-up chaos episode with OG guest Kasey Campion back in the studio — and as usual, there was absolutely zero plan.The girls get into the madness of TikTok Shop commissions (including the infamous Dubai chocolate Easter egg).Then it turns into a full rant about hate comments: men in DMs, body shaming, “bully” accusations, filtered comments, and why they’re done staying quiet. Plus Kasey finally spills her radio lore — how she grafted her way to radio five nights a week.
It’s the first official bonus episode and Niamh is making space for a weekly rant: Tangent Time. This week’s target? Louis Theroux’s Manosphere documentary — and the levels of second-hand cringe were unreal.Niamh breaks down why the real danger to young boys is the men they’re being told to idolise, from rage-bait “alpha” content to humiliating women for clicks, and the scary ripple effects it has offline.She also goes in on the hypocrisy: OnlyFans being “disgusting” while still profiting, “don’t watch porn” while promoting it, and men claiming women created nothing… while using inventions made by women. Tune in before she loses the plot.
This week Niamh is joined in studio by fashion designer Rashhiiid for a no-filter chat on life before fashion, why creative subjects were basically discouraged in school, and how hitting rock bottom can push you straight into your purpose.Rashhiiid opens up about building her brand from her parents’ garage to factories in Turkey and China — staying honest about where things are made and why having your own money is non-negotiable.They get into being a young woman in the industry in rooms full of men, Rachels boss bitch mam and protecting your peace when it comes to influencer-event pressure.Plus: fur hats, the iconic “baddie suit” campaign, celeb gifting tea, and draft-rant therapy.
Episode 78 is a full International Women’s Day special — and Niamh is in full rant mode (as she should be). From a nine-year-old deadlifting 81kg to a genuinely shocking quiz on how recently Irish women got basic rights, this one will have you raging and speechless at the same time.They get into tampons being banned for “arousing women”, the pill and coil myths, why the burden of contraception is still on women, and the absolute audacity of men taking credit for women’s inventions.Plus, uplifting voice notes from past guests with advice for young women: take up space, stay outrageous, and never let anyone dim your sparkle.
Episode 77 is pure chaos with Niamh showing up dying sick — sinus infection, steroids that have her feeling like she’s on narcotics, and the only upside: binging Bridgerton (and debating which season deserves top spot) while rage-quitting Fortnite on repeat.Then it gets real: the coil saga continues, with a genuinely horrific attempt to find it, zero pain relief, talk of scar tissue, a possible hospital referral, and a bigger conversation about women’s health, endometriosis, and being told “it’s in your head”.Plus Niamh wanted a rant and finally says what she thinks about those award ceremony cliques, exclusions, and why it’s always the same faces.And an 11-day quit-smoking update — vape step-down plan and all.
Episode 76 is a real-time quit-smoking diary as Niamh announces she’s officially off the cigarettes… since 10pm last night. Cue tears, rage, hourly updates, and a very passionate defence of the vape-as-a-step-down plan (don’t come for her).Then TikTok queen Shauna Heeney joins the studio for a hilarious chat about blowing up online, fast-talking storytimes, food reviews, and why not everyone is “watchable”.Plus: driving lesson horrors, 76-year-old instructors, meeting your boyfriend on Stephen’s Night, and two Aquarius girls fully convincing themselves 2026 is their year.
Dylan and Daniel are back in studio with Niamh for a properly chaotic catch-up that goes absolutely everywhere.

Niamh’s back again this week but this time with a bonus dilemma episode! — and she’s not alone. Beth from Tipsy Topics and Shane from I Said What I Said join her for a proper chaotic crossover as they tackle a listener question: “Will I ever find love… and how are people even meeting these days?”They get into dating app burnout, ghosting, and why “meeting someone in real life” feels like a myth now — plus the brutal truth about Tinder.Expect real talk on mindset, confidence, law of attraction, and doing the self-work (yes, even therapy). And for the girls asking “am I too picky?” — the answer is a loud no.
