  • I Met My Younger Self for a Coffee #160
    Feb 19 2025

    The 'I met my younger self for a coffee' trend is all over our FYPs - And this week Charleen and Ellie joined in. They offer their younger selves advice on everything from micro-fringes (Don't get one! Seriously!) to dealing with heartbreak and confusion about what to do with your life.

    There's a listener who is struggling to deal with her boyfriend kissing another girl on a night out, and another who wants to know if she should just do the travelling she wants to do without her fella who can't afford it.

  • Couples Counselling on Valentine's Day with Dano! #159
    Feb 12 2025

    Happy Valentine's Day to all the birds!

    This week, we have a very special Valentine in the studio, the OG Angel Boy himself, Dano! Although, it's hard to tell whether its a Valentine's Day special or a couples counselling session! After last week's episode about petty arguments, Ellie acts as the impartial judge to deliberate on some of the most common fights between Charleen and Dano. And they try their best to answer an important question - Who knows you better, your best friend or your boyfriend?

    In Secrets From The Stalls, there's a listener who's wondering when her fella will finally ask her to be his girlfriend, and in Phone a Friend the listeners offer their advice to a girl who's not being taken seriously by the men she's dating.

  • Picking fights - Petty reasons to start a row #158
    Feb 5 2025

    All seems peaceful for Charleen and Ellie - But is it really? They've had some petty rows lately, as have the listeners, over things as small as the Dubai chocolate bar, and as big as kissing other people.

    Charleen considers a parasite cleanse, although with Ellie's revelation about her childhood she might be the better candidate for it.

    There's even a nod to an old segment - German Word of the Week.

  • EXTRA JUICE: "Should I end it with my dream man to prevent heartbreak?" #132
    Feb 3 2025

    Charleen is fed up of men - and their urge to spread their legs wide and take up as much space as possible, regardless of the people around them. Meanwhile Ellie rants about the absurd cost of breakfasts in Dublin after paying a whopping €19 (!) for a rubbish fry.

    And a listener has gotten in touch after finding her dream man BUT it's not all rosy, he's not from Ireland and will have to move home soon. Should she stay with him until he leaves or end it before she gets heartbroken?

    Jan 27 2025

    Can men and women really just be friends? That's the big debate for this bonus episode after one listener gets in touch unsure of whether she's being crazy or if there's something going on between her ex and his female friend.

    There's also a listener who feels like she's running out of time to do everything she wants - college, dream job, emigrate, settle down. Even though she's just 23!
