Gaza Flotilla / The Walsh Sisters / A Want in Her
Description
This week, five Irish citizens including author Naoise Dolan were detained by Israel when their flotilla of humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip was intercepted. In today’s episode, Dolan’s mother Miriam McNally speaks to Róisín Ingle about the latest updates on her daughter’s detention and when she might be released.
Also in this episode, we hear from filmmaker and visual artist Myrid Carten, who discusses her new documentary film, A Want In Her. It’s a raw and honest portrait of her mother Nuala’s lifelong battle with addiction.
And finally, ahead of the third episode of The Walsh Sisters airing this weekend on RTE 1, we’re joined by friend of the podcast Marian Keyes and actor and writer Stefanie Preissner. The pair talk about creating and casting the show, dealing with bad reviews and how they first initially bonded over their shared hatred of ‘the grand stretch’.
