I Said What I Said with Shane McCarthy

Megan May is finally on the pod, and it was well worth the wait. Shane and Megan chat absolute shite, from Kilkenny nights out vs the local, to hangover videos, electrolytes, and the ongoing mission to get Guinness PR.

But it gets real too. Megan opens up about imposter syndrome, confidence, and why she kept her singing quiet for so long — plus the chaotic first gig story that had everything: free bar, a Portaloo, busted jeans, a safety pin saviour, and a mic that wouldn’t work.

If you’ve a dream you’re terrified to go after, take this as your sign.

Shane is back with another Monday Dilemmas, and this week he’s returning with the updates ye were waiting for and answers from the woman seeking advice.

After last week’s messy situation one woman finding out (through her husband) that a friend’s husband is cheating Shane is back to talk it through properly: how close the friendships actually are now, what “proof” even means in a situation like this, and whether keeping quiet is protecting your friend… or just protecting yourself.

They weigh up the fallout, why the husband has to be on board, and the best way to tell her if you do.

Plus, next week’s dilemma: is her boss crossing a line, or is she overthinking it?

We all stalk. Don’t lie.

Shane and Katie get into the absolute panic of accidentally liking an old photo, sending a friend request by mistake, and even hitting the dreaded TikTok “wave” like you were sitting there waiting on them.

But then it takes a turn. From people recognising you in real time off your stories, to how exposed you actually are online, they chat about real stalker moments, privacy, and the scary side of oversharing.

Don’t be a stalker. Seek help.

It’s Monday, which means Shane is back with another listener dilemma on I Said What I Said.
This week, one woman is caught in a seriously awkward situation. She knows something is going on behind her best friend’s back, but their husbands are best friends too and the couple are soon to be married.
Does she tell her what she knows or stay quiet?
And as the story unfolds, it just gets messier. What would you do?

In this episode of I Said What I Said, Shane McCarthy sits down with Chloe Burke, whose father Mark was murdered and dismembered in Dublin in 2014, with his remains later discovered at a recycling plant.
Chloe opens up about the case, what happened to her dad and the reality of losing a parent in circumstances most of us could never imagine.
But this isn’t a conversation told in the way you might expect.
Chloe speaks with incredible openness and a very particular sense of humour, something she explains has become part of how she copes with what happened. After previously going viral on TikTok for the way she spoke about her father’s death, she talks to Shane about the story behind the headlines, her family, grief, and what life looks like for them today.
It’s dark. It’s unexpectedly funny in places. And it’s a conversation you probably won’t forget.
