This week on Glow Home, we’re joined by Mark’s mum, Angela Rogers. She's here on a full redemption mission after all the mentions on the pod. Expect pure Angela energy, plenty of “context”, and the kind of chat that could only happen at the kitchen table.

We get into her committee-queen reputation (including the legendary Lidl traffic saga), her latest crusade against drone deliveries in Dublin 15, and the chaos of filming an ad in the middle of an anti-drone campaign.

Plus: Glow Up or Blow Up (grey-everything houses, air fryers, screens, participation medals and red nails), Angela’s iconic beauty staples, and the wild story of finding out she was 26 weeks pregnant.

We’re back with a Hot Take catch-up, and this week we’re spilling all the tea on Lapland because everyone had questions after we went. We chat the full family trip, the Toy Show night reveal, and why booking it as a package is honestly elite — snowsuits, boots, buses, Santa’s village… military-level organisation.

There’s also toboggan drama (RIP Mark’s knee), minus 19 weather that somehow didn’t feel that bad, Northern Lights heartbreak… and why we’re officially Glowing Up Lapland.

This week on The Glow Home, we’re back and it's just us, Mark Rogers and his fabulous husband, Paul Kinsella! As we settle into this new solo format, we share our latest adventures and catch you up on everything you missed since December.

Grab your beverage of choice and settle in for this honest, reflective episode that might just inspire you to think about what you’re leaving behind as we head into 2026!

This week on The Glow Home, we’re asking the big question: when exactly did we become adults? Between more friends, more commitments, and the casual cull of a few questionable ones… it’s giving growth era.

We’re diving into a jam-packed weekend ahead, Louise’s wedding, a quick hop to London, Christmas markets, champagne with the girls, and a festive pit stop at the Collins Club. And because we can’t help ourselves… we’re also comparing Christmas gift wishlists and figuring out just how behind we are on the shopping.

In Glow Up or Blow Up, we’re officially in our food content era: Friendsmas menus, November comfort bites, NYE ideas, and Mark's current olive martini obsession.

Then it’s onto the Speed Round, where we rapid-fire our hottest (and most unhinged) festive takes:

Real vs fake trees, matching pyjamas, Secret Santa budgets, Christmas Eve boxes, tinsel, Elf on the Shelf, pre-lit trees, outdoor inflatables, early decorators, gifting experiences… nothing is safe.

We wrap with What You’re Watching & What You’re Wearing — including Wicked’s For Good and the latest on Plurbis.

Festive, chaotic, grown-up (kind of) — this one is a cosy Christmas cuppa with a side of sass.
