We chat about behind-the-scenes secrets, how Seamus may or may not have thrown me under the bus whilst on air, and what Neil is really like to work with day to day.

The Comeback with Daragh Fleming

Cork poet and writer Daragh Fleming joins Brenda for the first episode of the new series of The Comeback.
In this episode, he shares his journey into writing, from a young age to putting his work out into the world. He also reads two of his most powerful pieces, If I Ever Have Boys and If I Ever Have Girls.
Daragh speaks openly about living with depression without realising it, describing a time when he felt completely numb and thought that was normal.
A deeply emotional part of the conversation focuses on the loss of his best friend, Erbie, and how that moment changed his life, becoming a turning point that led him to speak more openly about mental health through his writing.

The Comeback with Helena Brosnan
09/03/2026 | 42 mins.
On this week’s episode, I’m joined by Kerry fashion blogger and influencer Helena Brosnan, known to many as Super Betty.

Last year, Helena received a shock diagnosis of cervical cancer after attending a routine smear test, despite having no symptoms at all.
Throughout her treatment, she shared her journey openly with her followers, bringing honesty, positivity, and encouragement to thousands of women.
Now she’s using her platform to spread one very important message: don’t fear the smear.

Helena joins me to talk about the moment she got the news, how she stayed strong through treatment, and why something that takes just a few minutes could truly save your life.

And just a reminder, The Comeback Live comes to the Cork Podcast Festival on March 21st at St Luke’s. Tickets are available here: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/the-comeback-with-brenda-dennehy-tickets-1977022103331
