    Let the guests speak
    I used to love this podcast, but Roisin’s constant interrupting & talking over guests is annoying.

    Always interesting
    My favorite episodes of this podcast are the book club episodes. I've learned about a lot of great Irish Women writers from Roisin and her fellow book clubbers. She always does a good job of covering current events and social issues too. I look forward to this podcast every week.

    Best podcast for women
    I am an American but I still find the issues universally relevant. This is my absolute favorite podcast. I have even gone back and listened to the ones from 2018 forward. Even when it’s a subject that I don’t think will interest me, it always does. Please don’t stop doing what you’re doing, Rosin and Kathy Patty, St Louis, Mo, United States

    Wonderful interview with Sinéad!
    I didn’t want the interview to end. I am so fortunate I found your podcast. What I loved the most is the fact that you, as the interviewer, clearly admired her and appreciated her all the while having loads of fun. I’ve seen/heard so many interviews where the interviewer is about as stiff as the undead—robotic, uninformed. She was raw, completely herself with you. I absolutely loved it! I wish there were more of those interviews 😔 I am still gutted by the absence of her living presence in this world. Her words, her life, her voice, her courage and badassery —these all affected and inspired me deeply. And, this is so odd for me because I did not know her personally and yet, I grieve as though my sister has died. I am the same age as she is. I first heard her sing (way before “Nothing Compares to You”) as a young person trying to figure myself out in San Francisco. Her voice screamed my soul into the Universe and has ever since. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear Sinéad. And thank you, Roísín, for such a beautiful remembrance and for your work 💕🙏🏼❤️

    Intelligent, informative, astute. A college course worth of information in every episode.

    Great podcast/newscast
    This newscast about women is international in focus and truly the best. So glad I found you. Thanks for the great reporting about women and girls around the world.

    Fan from America
    This podcast’s desire to give a voice to women from all walks of life is evident and appreciated. I hope to hear from even more diverse perspectives in the episodes to come.

    Touching & Educational
    Brilliant! I’m very impressed with the topics & the professional interviewees. Their openness & extreme honesty sounds as a best friend would speak. I found Ep 472 with Dr. Jessica Taylor, psychologist & author of Why Women Are Blamed For Everything, especially touching. She spoke about structural implicit bias, self-empowerment & self-efficiency. I also recommend Ep 488 as a neuroscientist & a COVID-19 recoverer with brain flog will also broadened your understanding of COVID effects. Bravo! Excellent work!

    A favorite podcast
    I love this informative, empathetic, and fascinating podcast! So many themes and subjects explored, I always learn so much. It’s a great source of comfort and hope.

    Must listen for women worldwide
    I have the great privilege to run in Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey, with a view of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island. With a husband, child, (pandemic!), it’s the only time I’m ever alone. I spend it very often listening to The Irish Times Women’s Podcast. I laugh, cry, rage, learn. I’m thankful for this space that dives into all the joys and outrages of being a woman in this world. Thank you to everyone who makes this podcast possible.

    Love love love this podcast
    When people ask me what I’m listening to during this crazy time I encourage them to listen to this podcast. It is outstanding! Roisin and Kathy (I feel like we’re on a first name basis) are fabulously articulate and intelligent women. The topics are pertinent to improving this world and our understanding of our history and our future. They are simply amazing. I do get funny looks sometimes because I live in the US (Nevada) and the relevancy of an Irish podcast escapes some people. I just chalk it up to the ignorance and superiority of some Americans! 🤷🏽‍♀️ it’s unfortunate for them as these conversations should not be missed!

    Racism
    I’m an Irish-born woman living in NY. I found the podcast today to be very informative and gave me a lot of food for thought and the need to work on myself and to always speak up when I read or confront racism.
  • Opigirl
    Great perspective and validation for women!
    Lovely podcast! Very informative and also endearing. I cry, I laugh, I look up the book suggestions & feel so much more enlightened when listening to the wide variety of topics. Today’s episode 393 is just a gas!

    I love it
    This podcast is informative, interesting, versatile and funny! I cannot recommend enough!
  • deletepopcat
    Talks so fast my head spins
    I thought you would need and oxygen feed to talk that fast. Lovely voice though
  • Jlagune
    Thought-provoking and entertaining stories
    Been listening since last summer in preparation for a trip to Ireland. Always fascinating topics discussed by interesting experts with a woman's point of view. Thank you!

    The irony
    Good content but Kathy Sheridan’s internalised misogyny makes me cringe every time. Stop interrupting and belittling the contributions of your female contributors when there’s a man in the room! It’s clear she’s less than well read on intersectional feminist politics.
  • mytifred
    Essential listening
    Every episode is important listening, of great interest to those far beyond the borders of Ireland. The content is relevant wherever there are women. It's great to be able to hear the similarities and differences between feminism in Ireland and the U.S. Thank you for the work you are doing.

    Fantastic & thought provoking
    Great podcast of different topics - politics, woman's rights, health, arts and fashion. Love the book club discussions, too. Listening from the USA. Keep up he wonderful work.

    Fantastic Podcast
    I really look forward to this every week, and only wish I could have a new episode every day. These are significant issues handled with humour, warmth, and compelling distribution of facts and information. It's a community, a place I can go, and a gentle reminder to pay attention to our experiences as we navigate the world. Thank you, Women's Podcast!
