Catch-Up with Alison Lomax, MD of YouTube UK and Ireland
Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!I was delighted to have the opportunity to sit down and chat with Alison Lomax, MD of Youtube UK and Ireland this week as the platform celebrates its 20th birthday. I'm not going to lie, when I speak to women like Alison, I'm always a little intimidated. As someone outside the corporate world, I always feel like I'm not smart enough or experienced enough or like I don't speak the language or something, but Alison could not have been kinder or warmer. We discussed her career, and I absolutely learned some things I can apply to my own, as well as the role YouTube plays in our lives, for good and for bad.Get tickets to the live show in The Laughter Lounge on May 16th here!To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.

Catch Up on Being Trans in 2025 with Laylah Beattie
Send your thoughts, feelings, opinions and suggestions to 0892096423!We've talked a lot about trans rights this week in response to the UK's supreme court ruling on the 'definition of a woman' so I thought this week's Friday episode should be a conversation with someone from the trans community. Laylah Beattie is an Irish writer, performer and podcaster, and she graciously gave me her time this week to talk about how she's been feeling in the wake of the ruling and the general change in tone when it comes to trans rights both here in Ireland and in the US and UK.You can read Laylah's piece for Image here.If you are trans and you need support, check out TENI here and the LGBTQIA+ Switchboard here.Donate to Trans and Intersex Pride here.Get tickets to the live show in The Laughter Lounge on May 16th here!To support the podcast and access bonus episodes, join the community on Patreon here.
