Today’s guests are non-other than Lesley Beirne and Denise Tiernan. Les and Denise are friends since they were toddlers and they’ve managed to retain their unique friendship and connection right through from childhood to adulthood. They went to school together, played together in the evenings and, in later life, they lived and worked together and, during all them years, in their own words, they never fell out once.

This episode is just over an hour and we take a major walk down memory lane talking about everything from childhood games and 90 TV shows to the Gala Festival and working in the Little Chick. Thanks to the girls for giving us their time and more than a few belly laughs!

Enjoy episode 37!
