183: #183 Last Orders - 32 Shades of Salach: Romance Novels with Róisín McNally

In terms of literary prestige, romance novels don't get no respect, ranking lower than sports biographies and screenplay novelisations on the scale of respectability - according to people who don't read them, anyway. But what about people who do? Since Covid, sales of romance novels have shot through the roof, largely on account of the hashtag on Tiktok. And one of 's stars joins us on today's episode. You might remember Róisín McNally from episode - she's back to tell Darach all about romance novels, how Ireland and Irishness are represented in the genre and even the bits where Gaeilge turns up. We also have a very special appearance from Peadar and a chat with Gearóidín about Bridgerton. --- Get Kirsten Shiel art prints here: --- Contact the show: whatsapp - +353894784713 twitter - @motherfocloir and @theirishfor email - motherfocloir@headstuff.org --- Want to record your own podcast?
