The Home Squad: Easter Decorations
02/04/2026 | 12 mins.
Do you decorate your house for Easter? And if so, how do you do it without being tacky?
This week, the Home Squad are here to discuss Easter decorations!
Joining Andrea to discuss is Jenny Sheehan, Irish Examiner Columnist and former winner of ‘Home of the Year’ (@workerscottage on Instagram) and Tanya Neufeld Flanagan, Interior Designer and host of ‘The Interiors Podcast’.
Should we have a ‘National Pothole Patrol’?
02/04/2026 | 8 mins.
The UK is looking to introduce a ‘National Pothole Patrol’ in which road repair machines will be available to tackle any potholes reported to the council. With many people furious at the state of Irish roads, do we need to introduce something similar across the country?
What are the potholes like in your area?
Listener Ellen got in touch with the show, and joins Andrea to discuss.
Should dogs always be on a lead in public?
02/04/2026 | 20 mins.
While out walking, a dog ran out at Sinéad, Co-Founder of Intuitive Eating Hub & Healthy Habits Hub, barking and scared the life out of her.
It begs the question: should dogs be allowed to go off their leads in public?
Sinéad joins Andrea to discuss, as well as Suzi Walsh, Animal Behaviourist and listeners.
Do you find the trains to be overpacked?
02/04/2026 | 9 mins.
Listener Jack sent the show an email about serious overpacking on his train route from Westport to Dublin, and how if there was an emergency, things could go very wrong…
He joins Andrea to discuss his experience.
The Making of Mary Black!
02/04/2026 | 13 mins.
We’ve decided to do a deep dive on some of our favourite albums to explore the stories behind them.
What did the artists really think of each other? Where did the inspirations from the songs come from?
Joining Andrea to discuss is Alan Buckley from the Irish Rock ‘N’ Roll Museum Experience, who’s going to talk through the life and work of Mary Black!
