A very warm midlands welcome to the very first episode of GoLoud's brand new and shinest podcast, Herself & Herself.

Hosted by viral comedians Dympna Little and Mary-Claire Fitzpatrick, ‘Herself & Herself’ catapults head-first into life’s messy, hilarious and occasionally tender moments. The two new-found friends navigate the quirks, frustrations and secret joys of everyday life, mixing humour, warmth and honesty, spinning mundane moments into chaotic, laugh-out-loud exchanges you can relate to.

It's fair to say that they're out of the pod traps from the get-go on episode one as Dympna spares no time in expressing her disdain for Dublin and a fellow passenger on the train who actively seeking a challenge.

A revealing trip down childhood lane has Mary-Claire using some words and expressions that NOBODY in the stuido (or indeed the world) have every heard whilst Dympna gets real about how much of a nightmare child she was....until she chose the wrong wall to take out her tantrums on.

As we head into Valentine's Dympna is in NO mood for anyone using her socials posts to find love and we get an insight into the life of a kid's TV presenter working with a puppet from Mary-Claire.

Listener advodory: There is talk of ancient leprosy bones and cures for 'warbles'.

We hope you enjoy the very forst Herself & Herself. New episodes will be available early doors every Tuesday morning on GoLoud or wherever you get your podcasts.

Any weird questions, strories and suggestions fire them on to @herselfandherself on Insta and Tik Tok or you can get the 'Herselves' on their own @dimplestilskin and @mcluvs2laugh

Love you. Bye!

Herself (Dympna Little) and Herself ( Mary-Claire Fitzpatrick) bring their sharp observations and off-kilter banter as they dive into the big and small dramas of everyday life -awkward public transport encounters, the politics of married life, DIY disasters, family expectations, and the strange comfort of true-crime obsession. These two women know exactly how to wind each other up, make each other laugh, and land on surprisingly heartfelt moments when you least expect them. It’s the show for anyone who loves a good rant, a rogue memory, or a conversation that goes entirely off the rails in the best possible way.
