This month’s podcast assessment is for one in all my absolute favourites – Sentimental Rubbish. Additionally very excited to say that I’ve had my first dwell podcast expertise by seeing this one dwell at first of the month.
Created and hosted by Irish creator Caroline O’Donoghue, I had learn and beloved her ebook Scenes of a Graphic Nature earlier than I realised she had a podcast. So it was a cheerful coincidence that when my buddy really helpful this podcast to me, I realised I knew Caroline from her nice ebook. I’ve since additionally learn her latest novel The Rachel Incident and beloved that too.
Sentimental Rubbish began life as a responsible pleasure podcast (as described by the host that means, not me), with 45 minutes – 1 hour episodes of pleasant chat that focuses on issues like chick-lit, celebrities and subjects that some in society deem a bit cringe or unimportant however, the truth is, have a huge impact on so many individuals’s hearts and lives – mine included.
The format of the podcast is Caroline speaking to a visitor a few particular subject, or a number of. Just a few of my favorite episodes embody:
- Skinny Denims with Lauren Bravo (as in an evaluation of their rise and fall)
- Robbie Williams with Dolly Alderton
- Barbie with Jen Cownie
- Soiled Dancy with Curtis Sittenfeld
- Grease 2 with Seamus O’Reilly
- RuPaul’s Drag Race with SELF ESTEEM
- Candy Valley Excessive with Jessica Pan
- Rachel’s Vacation with Louise O’Neill
I might go on – this sort of pop-culture and modern chat appeals to me a lot and Caroline is such an awesome podcast host, so heat and pleasant and all the time giving insightful commentary on the chosen subject.
Sentimental Rubbish Dwell
I went to see Sentimental Rubbish dwell at Hackney Empire in London as a part of a tour Caroline is doing and Caroline’s particular visitor was presenter and creator, Daybreak O’Porter.
They chatted by way of Daybreak’s fascinating profession after which took chat subjects from the viewers. These brilliantly lined every thing from polygamy (sure or no?) to what’s a hun (stunning second of the eve, Daybreak O’Porter didn’t know who Gemma Collins, Queen of the Huns is?? She has been dwelling in America for the final 12 years however nonetheless!) Such a humorous, good night – a wonderful first podcast IRL second.
Additionally – when you’re a Intercourse and the Metropolis fan, there’s a spin off Sentimental within the Metropolis season of Sentimental Rubbish the place Caroline and her buddy, Dolly Alderton deep dive into each episode. Absolutely the dream.
As Caroline put it (I’m paraphrasing right here): ‘it’s superb so lots of you wish to hear my area of interest tackle area of interest subjects’ and sure, we actually do! A wonderful feel-good podcast.
