Ep 126 The Walk (and talk) of Shame at Body & Soul
The Women's Podcast - A podcast by The Irish Times - Thursdays
Categories:
In this special live episode we did the Walk (and talk) of Shame in front of a captivated audience at Body & Soul where The Irish Times took over the magical Wonderlust stage. Our guests were TD Brid Smith, abortion rights activist Lucy Watmough and comedian and podcaster Erin McGathy. Hosted by Kathy Sheridan the discussion centred around the myriad ways shame has been used to control women for centuries. Smith shared her abortion story publicly for the first time, Watmough talked about her journey from chaotic teen to sober activist and McGathy opened up about the way she was shamed after her marriage break-up. Thanks to all at Body & Soul for having us especially Kathy Scott and Fran Cosgrave. We'll be back!
