#8 Aoife Dunne - Comedian, Storyteller, Teacher, Poet

Episode 8: Aoife Dunne - Comedian, Storyteller, Teacher, Poet Aoife’s acerbic and cathartic mix of humour, activism and poetry has garnered a global audience who enjoy and learn from her hilarious observations and deservedly furious rants. We talk about growing up in Catholic, Postcolonial Ireland, and being women - not exactly conducive to creating confidence, but nevertheless Aoife chanelling that Queen Maeve energy, and taking every tumble and triumph to write her own story. We talk about the Irish wit and spirit, and the women who have inspired her. Bain taitneamh as! Enjoy! Go raibh maith agat as éisteacht!
