Jenny and Mairead Now
A podcast which pairs two very familiar voices, together… again. Jenny Kelly and Mairéad Ronan worked alongside each other for many years on the radio before life took them in different directions. But their infectious friendship continued off-mic since and now they’re back and ready to bring podcast audiences in on the craic. The show is a unique insight into their fun, unfiltered and unscripted musings on life as they find it now. What does that mean? Well, you won’t be sure what you’ll get but you’ll know it’s from the heart, filled with laughs and honest in a way only a podcast can allow. Listen and subscribe to ‘Jenny and Mairead Now’ first on the GoLoud app or wherever you get your podcasts.
