In todays episode I talk everything arts and beyond with stand up artiste, actor, writer, podcaster and TV personality Maeve Higgins. From the bright light of Cobh County Cork we talk her move to New York City, how her career is not about fame or money but more expression and we talk forming a brand new girl band with the minister of education and Mary Robinson. Yeah things get weird.
