Unscripted with Niamh O'Connor

It’s the first official bonus episode and Niamh is making space for a weekly rant: Tangent Time.
This week’s target? Louis Theroux’s Manosphere documentary — and the levels of second-hand cringe were unreal.
Niamh breaks down why the real danger to young boys is the men they’re being told to idolise, from rage-bait “alpha” content to humiliating women for clicks, and the scary ripple effects it has offline.
She also goes in on the hypocrisy: OnlyFans being “disgusting” while still profiting, “don’t watch porn” while promoting it, and men claiming women created nothing… while using inventions made by women.
Tune in before she loses the plot.

This week Niamh is joined in studio by fashion designer Rashhiiid for a no-filter chat on life before fashion, why creative subjects were basically discouraged in school, and how hitting rock bottom can push you straight into your purpose.

Rashhiiid opens up about building her brand from her parents’ garage to factories in Turkey and China — staying honest about where things are made and why having your own money is non-negotiable.

They get into being a young woman in the industry in rooms full of men, Rachels boss bitch mam and protecting your peace when it comes to influencer-event pressure.

Plus: fur hats, the iconic “baddie suit” campaign, celeb gifting tea, and draft-rant therapy.

Episode 78 is a full International Women’s Day special — and Niamh is in full rant mode (as she should be).
From a nine-year-old deadlifting 81kg to a genuinely shocking quiz on how recently Irish women got basic rights, this one will have you raging and speechless at the same time.
They get into tampons being banned for “arousing women”, the pill and coil myths, why the burden of contraception is still on women, and the absolute audacity of men taking credit for women’s inventions.
Plus, uplifting voice notes from past guests with advice for young women: take up space, stay outrageous, and never let anyone dim your sparkle.

Episode 77 is pure chaos with Niamh showing up dying sick — sinus infection, steroids that have her feeling like she’s on narcotics, and the only upside: binging Bridgerton (and debating which season deserves top spot) while rage-quitting Fortnite on repeat.
Then it gets real: the coil saga continues, with a genuinely horrific attempt to find it, zero pain relief, talk of scar tissue, a possible hospital referral, and a bigger conversation about women’s health, endometriosis, and being told “it’s in your head”.
Plus Niamh wanted a rant and finally says what she thinks about those award ceremony cliques, exclusions, and why it’s always the same faces.
And an 11-day quit-smoking update — vape step-down plan and all.

Episode 76 is a real-time quit-smoking diary as Niamh announces she’s officially off the cigarettes… since 10pm last night.
Cue tears, rage, hourly updates, and a very passionate defence of the vape-as-a-step-down plan (don’t come for her).
Then TikTok queen Shauna Heeney joins the studio for a hilarious chat about blowing up online, fast-talking storytimes, food reviews, and why not everyone is “watchable”.
Plus: driving lesson horrors, 76-year-old instructors, meeting your boyfriend on Stephen’s Night, and two Aquarius girls fully convincing themselves 2026 is their year.
