#001 Don't Call Me Darling: Her Husband Wears Her Knickers!

Welcome to the brand new podcast where broadcaster Niall Boylan and his wife, Karen, discuss everything and anything. From the biggest stories in the news to the arguments taking place in bedrooms, kitchens and family WhatsApp groups, absolutely nothing is off the table.

This week, Niall and Karen discuss whether married couples should keep their money separate and when adult children should finally be told to leave home.

The listeners have also been in touch with some extraordinary marital dilemmas. One woman discovered that her husband had been secretly wearing her underwear and using her make-up. Another husband feels as though he is married to an entire committee because his wife shares every argument with her friends. Meanwhile, one woman wants her husband to cut contact with a former girlfriend, but he insists they are now simply friends.

Expect disagreements, uncomfortable confessions, plenty of laughter and an honest husband versus wife perspective on relationships, marriage and modern life.

Welcome to Don’t Call Me Darling, where Niall and Karen may not always agree, but neither of them will be keeping quiet.

Welcome to Don’t Call Me Darling, the podcast where award-winning broadcaster Niall Boylan and his wife Karen share the funny, frustrating and wonderfully familiar moments of married life.

Each week, Niall and Karen also unravel listeners’ real-life dilemmas, surprising confessions and impossible questions as they decide who’s right, who’s wrong and what they would do.

Come for debate, stay for the chemistry, every week.
