Friends of the show, Brian Dowling and Arthur Gourounlian joined Alison on Weekend Breakfast to share the latest life updates - including if they want to host The Six O'Clock Show together.

They also chatted all about parenting styles and who Alison aligns with more and the importance of charities, as the guys are supporting the AIB Community €1 Million Fund.

OMG What A Complete Aisling! legends Sarah Breen and Eimear McLysaght join Alison in studio, and the excitement is real — Alison stayed up far too late because she couldn’t put their brand new novel down!

They chat all about Our Deadly Summer. Plot: best friends Laura and Dee, a J1 to Long Island in 2001, and a jump forward to 2025 where they’re reunited for the first time in 25 years… opening on page one with a dead body (not a spoiler!).

Emer says it's inspired by her time at an American J1 country club job - she thought it would be “Coyote Ugly” it wasn't! — plus the girls join us for a soon to be award winning quiz “eh? or nay!”

Maisie Williams joins Alison Curtis on Weekend Breakfast to talk about her brilliant new film 500 Miles — an emotional rollercoaster that Alison admits left her properly rattled.

They chat about Maisie taking on a Dublin accent (and absolutely nailing it!!), filming in Dublin with people who know “Dublinese” inside out, and how the accent even shifted her whole personality for the role.

Plus, Maisie shares advice for her younger co-star Dexter Sol Ansell who also stepped into the huge world of GOT as 'Egg' in Knight Of The Seven Kingdoms and what kind of advice she had for him from Arya Stark!

Plus, she teases the long awaited sequel: Practical Magic 2!!

500 Miles is in cinemas now!

Danny O’Donoghue from The Script joins Alison with a load of big news — including a major arena tour, with two huge nights at Dublin’s 3Arena on October 30th and 31st. Halloween!

Will it be a scary Script --- Alison has an inspired costume suggestion and Danny is up for it!!

Danny chats about feeling energised after tour, diving straight into the studio, and the new album 'The User’s Guide to Being Human' (out August 14th) — uplifting, positive, and all about the human condition.

Plus, he explains the Theodore Roosevelt inspiration behind the brand-new single “Man in the Arena”, and why it’s a song people really need right now.

Tickets go on sale May 29th

Karen Koster joins Alison on Weekend Breakfast for a fun, sleep-deprived chat after a big night at the Style Awards — Ireland’s own mini Met Gala, capes, tiaras and all!

Then it’s on to summer survival mode for parents, as Karen teams up with MyWadi to launch the MyWadi FAI Football Camps, running nationwide throughout July and August.

Karen chats screen-free mornings, confidence-building team sport (especially for girls), inclusive “Football for All,” and why getting those camp weeks booked feels like pure relief!

Lucy Kennedy drops into studio with Alison for a laugh-out-loud catch up that goes everywhere!! — from being a full-blown Swiftie to what it’s really like moving in with celebrities on her show.

Lucy spills on the surreal moment Caitlyn Jenner opened the door in LA, and why living with Katie Hopkins was the most challenging stay of all.

Plus, we talk her new novel 'The Mini Breakers': five friends on a girls’ trip, perimenopause, palpitations and more --- and her character inspiration coming poolside in Albufeira! (where she hits the pool fully armed with towels, doughnuts and a floating unicorn at 7am!)

And wait until you hear how she celebrated turning 50… pyjamas, Waterford Castle, a ferry, and a Chinese takeaway!

Kate O’Connor is not just good at one event... she has SEVEN! 800 Metres (indoor and outdoor), Shot Put, Long Jump, High Jump, Hurdles, Javelin! It's tiring just reading the list!

The World Champion and Olympic contender for Team Ireland joins Alison on Weekend Breakfast for a brilliant chat about life as a heptathlete (and yes, how to say it!) — and what it really takes to be good at seven disciplines, not just one.

Kate shares how she fell into multi-events “organically,” thanks a lot to her to her dad's encouragement - he is tell her coach to this day. She opens up about the toughest event to master, the mindset behind constant learning, and the whirlwind of medals, records and media attention!

And perhaps the most important of all -- inspiring the young athletes of Ireland to live their own dream!

Kate chatted to Alison as part of the SPAR and Eurospar Community Fund - helping more kids get into sport by investing in their clubs.

The Community Fund initiative will see €60,000 awarded to 30 sports clubs across the country.

Nominees are being asked to submit a short application to showcase how their club is ‘Hungry For Success’.

Entries are now open and will close on Wednesday, July 8th.

Two of our favourite people - Stephen and Anita Mangan join Alison on Weekend Breakfast to celebrate their brilliant new kids’ book, 'Welcome to Weird Street' — a collection of hilarious and wild short stories!

A girl finds a lost cat and knocks door to door down Weird Street, with a brand-new mini adventure behind every house. Anita chats about illustrating all 23 houses (even more drawings than planned) and teasing what’s behind each door without giving anything away.

Plus, chatty courgettes, why good books are your best friend, reading at bedtime, and which big Irish celebrity living in London (down the road from Anita!) turns out to be their long lost cousin!!
