Each week on The Women’s Podcast, host Kathy Sheridan asks listeners a question. This week, she wants to know what kind of year you’ve had. “How was 2015 for you?” she asks on the ’Dingle Belles’ episode of the podcast which was recorded at Other Voices in the Co Kerry town as Storm Desmond wailed outside.
Let us know your highlights and lowlights of 2015 and the most memorable moments involving women. Email your thoughts to thewomenspodcast@irishtimes.com or tweet and facebook @itwomenspodcast
Last week, we asked listenters what they wanted for Christmas and here are a selection of responses:
Actor Romana Testasecca who is based in Rome for the next few weeks tweeted us to say shethat what she’d like for Christmas is to play the part of a strong, independent and vulnerable young female in an avant-garde production.
Emma Allen said she wanted grey leather gloves with a zip at the front from Avoca even though she knows she would lose them five minutes after getting them. And some rollerskates.
Una from Dublin had one simple request: “An oven that works”. Laura said: “I would like an amazingly powerful and sleek multi-room wireless speaker system that emits the most gorgeous noise in the history of recorded sound.”
Midwife Ali Murphy tweeted us to say that what she wants for Christmas is to be able to practice her midwifery “with plenty of time, safety, compassion and love.”
Next week The Women’s Podcast features Christmas essays recorded by women writers including Anne Enright, Hilary Fannin and Pauline McLynn.
