REVISITED: Mother Dearest, the First Ever Episode of Not Without My Sister (Not Without Our Mother)

Thanks again for bearing with us while we take this little hiatus-slash-maternity leave break! Here's the very first episode of the podcast, revisited – for those of you who didn't start from the start, or just need a reminder as to where we got the name! We'll have to keep revisiting old episodes now that Mother has told us, in no uncertain terms, that we are NOT to mention her EVER AGAIN!Anyway, we're still releasing new episodes each and every Friday over on Patreon; if you'd like to support us over there, you can do so for €4.50/month at http://patreon.com/notwithoutmysister Thank you for listening to Episode 1 of Not Without My Sister, which we have tentatively titled, ‘Not Without Our… Mother?’ This episode is dedicated to, and focuses on, our Mother, who, for all of her Irish Mammyisms, has her own individual quirks and foibles which make her – we think – just interesting enough to dedicate an hour-long podcast episode to. We hope you enjoy it 🙂If you have any topic suggestions, or subjects you’d like us to chat about, please do let us know!
