Sophie White

Sophie White met her husband way too young – or so she says, meaning she missed out on the "fun" (? questionable) of Tinder, Bumble and Hinge. But she likes him a lot, so it's probably okay. (But she'd still like a little hall pass and thinks all bisexuals should get one.)Follow Sophie on Instagram @sophwhitewhoop or check out her full bibliography on her website, here.

Ashley C. Ford

New York Times bestselling author Ashley C. Ford knows a lot about love, thanks to her husband, who taught her that love isn't a competition; her upbringing, which showed her the ways she didn't want to be loved; and the work she's been able to do on herself, which allowed her to believe she's worthy of that love to begin with. Somebody's Daughter, Ashley's memoir, is available now wherever books are sold. From indie booksellers, Split Rock Books in the US has it; as does Gutter Bookshop in Ireland.

Charlot Kristensen

The illustration Charlot Kristensen created for the recent cover of The Irish Times' Saturday Magazine which focused on being black and Irish will surely go down in history as one of the most iconic Irish images of 2020. We sat down in our respective homes (#stayhome, y'all) to chat about how this commission came about, working as an artist in Ireland and her upcoming graphic novel, What We Don't Talk About. You can check out Charlot's work on her website at charlotkristensen.com and pre-order her graphic novel here. Charlot is involved with the Dublin Comic Arts Festival, more on which here.Alan Dunne, who Charlot mentions as a friend and great supporter of her work, can be found at alandunne.ie.

Say hi to Meet/Cute, a podcast about getting together, breaking up, and everything that comes in between. I’m your host, Rosemary Mac Cabe, journalist and author of the book, This is Not About You, a memoir told through a chronology of romantic relationships. As I was putting the book together, I started to think about how fascinating romance is. What brings two people together? And what tears them apart? In this podcast, I’ll be talking to as wide an array of people as I can about the relationships that have colored the landscape of their lives. What age were they when they met their first love? Do they have a type? What red flags have they started to recognize along the way? In other words: tell. Me. Everything.This is a podcast for romantics; it’s a podcast for lovers, and dreamers; it’s a podcast for anthropologists but, above all else, it’s a podcast for nosy f*ckers. Join me every Thursday for a new chat about the ins and outs – if you’ll excuse the pun – of finding love. Meet/Cute, available wherever you get podcasts.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This podcast makes my heart so happy! The guests Rosemary has on the show have such interesting insight to give, and Rosemary is a talented interviewer. It never feels too formal, just like two people having a chat, probably thanks to Rosemary making her guests feel so comfortable. This podcast is underrated, it’s informative and deep but doesn’t take itself too seriously. Thank you for showing us how to be sound!

y’all. Just listen to this goodness

Say hi to Meet/Cute, a podcast about getting together, breaking up, and everything that comes in between. I’m your host, Rosemary Mac Cabe, journalist and author of the book, This is Not About You, a memoir told through a chronology of romantic relationships. As I was putting the book together, I started to think about how fascinating romance is. What brings two people together? And what tears them apart? In this podcast, I’ll be talking to as wide an array of people as I can about the relationships that have colored the landscape of their lives. What age were they when they met their first love? Do they have a type? What red flags have they started to recognize along the way? In other words: tell. Me. Everything.This is a podcast for romantics; it’s a podcast for lovers, and dreamers; it’s a podcast for anthropologists but, above all else, it’s a podcast for nosy f*ckers. Join me every Thursday for a new chat about the ins and outs – if you’ll excuse the pun – of finding love. Meet/Cute, available wherever you get podcasts.  Hosted on Acast.

Joanne McNally

Follow Joanne McNally on Twitter @jomcnally and on Instagram @joannemcnallycomedy. Sofie Hagen's podcast, Made of Human, is where I got the inspiration for How to be Sound – and where I get a lot of inspiration, to be honest!  If you're buying from Amazon, I would really appreciate it if you'd use my affiliate link. It helps support what I do and costs you nothing extra! Same goes for Asos...    AND if you're super generous, support me on Patreon! It's basically a type of crowd-funding site that allows you to put your money where your "likes" are; if you like the content I'm making, please consider giving a small amount ($1) every month to help fund it.

Thank you so much for listening to How to be Sound. Please take some time to rate and/or review on iTunes; it helps other people who might like it to find How to be Sound!   Liam Geraghty's (almost) award-winning Meet Your Maker is also well worth a listen.  You'll find  Her.ie's Girls with Goals here.   I wrote a piece about why I wasn't going to the Gossies; it caused a bit of a shit storm. You can read it here.    Here's a piece about Singlehood, the piece that was Joanne's first on-stage gig, from the Irish Examiner. (It's behind a login, but you don't have to pay. It's a login-wall.)   "I feel unsafe."  THAT comedy club incident is here.    Read Lionel Shriver talking about diversity in the Spectator here.   NYT's The Daily podcast did a great recent two-parter about the US's opioid crisis.   Joanne recently saw Suki Kim talking about life in North Korea at the Dalkey Book Festival. She has a TED talk too. This is her website. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Rose McGowan

Rose McGowan was, at one stage, perhaps best known for her role in Charmed. Now, she's best known as one of the leading voices in the #MeToo movement – she detailed, in her memoir, Brave (which you can buy here)  her rape by Harvey Weinstein.   You can buy tickets to  her spoken word show at the Edinburgh Fringe, August 13th-18th, here.   Watch her interview with Jameela Jamil on the @i_weigh Instagram account.   ***    Would you like to hear more from me? Read my writing on Patreon here. For just $4 per month you'll get two pieces of writing per week, as well as an exclusive mini podcast episode every fortnight. The latest minisode featured Gearoid Farrelly scrolling through my Tinder in a somewhat hopeless attempt to find me a man. (It's fun, I swear.)   If you're buying from Amazon, I would really appreciate it if you'd use my affiliate link. It helps support what I do and costs you nothing extra!

Lindsay Leggett

Lindsay Leggett IS The Sugarist – she sugars people of all shapes, sizes and genders from her Temple Bar studio. Lindsay mentions her Dad being from Corktown, Detroit – there's a really interesting article about the history of the area  from the Detroit Historical Society here. From Lindsay's site: why sugaring is better than waxing. If you haven't already, buy and read Lindy West's book. Please use my Amazon affiliate link because it helps me make bank. You can check out merch from The Vulva Gallery here. Watch the (NSFW) clip from the Australian Hungry Beast documentary news series on labiaplasty here. The X Factor clip I refer to, featuring the Pussycat Dolls "singing" through their greatest hits, is here. I mention Virgie Tovar and her body positive selfies – follow her on Instagram! FINALLY, Lindsay refers to Ologies, a podcast presented by Alie Ward, the BFF of My Favorite Murder's Georgia! (And I attributed this piece on problematic true-crime obsessions to Wired, when it is in fact from The New Republic. I'm fired.) *** Throw me $1! (Or, y'know, more!) I write a whole lot of pieces on Patreon for paid subscribers and you can be one of those from just $1 a month at patreon.com/rosemarymaccabe.  You can follow me on all social media @rosemarymaccabe.  Please do rate, review and subscribe to How to be Sound on iTunes – it really helps boost my ego and make me feel like I'm not wasting my time. kthx Hosted on Acast.
