#145 How to be intimate

What does peace actually look like?  An tseachtain seo ar How To Gael, tá muid ag plé IMMA The Irish Museum of Modern Art, where we visited the Technologies of Peace: Art & Transition in Contemporary Europe Exhibition. Ó Thuaisceart Éireann go dtí tíortha eile ar fud na hEorpa, féachann an taispeántas ar choimhlint, ar athmhuintearas agus ar an gcaoi a ndéantar síocháin a thógáil agus a chothú.  Joining us is Sheena Barrett, Head of Research & Learning at IMMA, who helps us unpack the exhibition, explore how art can help us understand difficult histories and why you don't need to be an art expert to connect with what you're looking at. We chat about language,identity and imagining a different future.  Tá neart le machnamh ann, agus b'fhéidir go bhfágfaidh an comhrá seo sibh ag smaoineamh ar an tsíocháin ar bhealach beagán difriúil. Technologies of Peace is open at IMMA, admission is free, and the exhibition runs until 9 May 2027. So bígí ag IMMA agus féachaigí daoibh féin! https://imma.ie/whats-on/the-technologies-of-peace-1989-2026-exhibition Bí i dteagmháil linn!

Intimacy… it’s not just about getting naked! Sometimes it’s about getting a little too honest, letting your guard down or sharing a moment with a complete stranger. An tseachtain seo ar How To Gael, we’re going deep on emotional vulnerability, pillow talk and feeling comfortable with all different types of intimacy. An bhfuil muid róchúthail in Éirinn le labhairt faoin dlúthchaidreamh? From the comhrá tar éis gnéis to the secrets we share, intimacy is about trust, connection and simply letting someone see the real you. This one gets a little personal! Sponsored by Fáilte Ireland.

Tá na mná ar fad ar ais le chéile arís! This time, Síomha calls on Doireann and Louise to tap into their sixth sense and find out if her prop is actually haunted! Agus ó The Young Offenders go Crá! An tseachtain seo ar How To Gael, is é an t-aisteoir Alex Murphy atá linn chun labhairt faoina dheich mbliana ar an teilifís, ó ghreann Chorcaí go drámaíocht choireachta dhorcha trí Ghaeilge. Alex takes us behind the scenes of Crá, reveals how he went from insecure about his Irish at school to learning his lines in just two months and shares his passion for the language, because, mar a dheirfidh é leat, is fearr Gaeilge bhriste ná Béarla cliste (anois is arís xx) Agus ar ndóigh, ní bheadh How To Gael ann gan amhrán. Alex gives us his party piece, Sadhbh Ní Bhruinneallaigh. Off book, ar ndóigh.  Sponsored by Fáilte Ireland. Déan plean dod’ shaoire ghearr ag @discoverireland.ie Bí i dteagmháil linn!

Ón stáitse le Picture This go leabhar filíochta… when is a song a song or a poem a poem? How long is a piece of string! This week, we’re joined by Ryan Hennessy, frontman of Picture This, to talk about poetry, vulnerability and the power of putting your feelings into words. From writing his first poem at just seven years old to sharing his work in his latest book ‘In Another Lifetime’ as Gaeilge agus Béarla, we chat about being a romantic from Athy, singing for the first time and expressing oneself. Agus an BANGER gurb é Tóg mo Lámh - dár ndóigh.  Éist le nóiméad fíorspeisialta…when Síomha reads Ryan’s own poem back to him as Gaeilge… Sponsored by Fáilte Ireland.

Ar chuir tú tús riamh le rud éigin nua? From Louise learning to drift, to the things Síomha was naturally good at from the start, is cuma cén rud atá ann ach bíonn misneach ag teastáil chun triail a bhaint as rud éigin nua.  Is it a fresh start or a midlife crisis? An féidir leat a bheith ró-aosta chun rud éigin nua a fhoghlaim? And what’s that one thing you’ve always wanted to try? (Haircuts included) New beginnings, new challenges or maybe a midlife crisis… who’s judging? Inis dúinn, what are YOU going to try? Sponsored by Fáilte Ireland.

Spreagtha ag na tráchtanna atá faighte acu le déanaí, tá na cailíní ag ligint na madaí le sruth and revealing their hottest takes faoin nGaeilge.  Ó ainmneacha Gaeilge (WhAt’S tHaT iN eNgLiSh?!), an botún is mó a dhéantar agus Gaeilgeoir faoi agallamh, gatekeeping na Gaeilge agus fiú na focail Ghaeilge don ghnéas nár chóir duit a úsáid (spoiler; iad uilig)… tá na cailíní ag cleamhsán. It’s tough being perfect, you know? Strong opinions, spicy takes, language debates. Inis dúinn do chuid gearáin fhéin thíos! Sponsored by Fáilte Ireland.

Cad a tharlaíonn nuair a shocraíonn tú saol níos mó agus níos fearr a chruthú duit féin?  Bhí an craic againn le Louise O’Neill, údar an leabhair nua A Bigger Life. Labhair sí linn faoi na rioscaí a ghlacadh, ag déanamh níos mó de na rudaí a chuireann áthas ort agus cén fáth nach bímid cróga go leor uaireanta chun an saol atá uainn a chruthú. From taking a chance to the most important question of all - what do we really want? Sponsored by Fáilte Ireland. Déan plean dod’ shaoire ghearr ag discoverireland.ie. Bí i dteagmháil linn!

Deirtear go bhfillean an feall ar an bhfeallaire - ach cad a dheirtear faoin bhfeallaire ar an bpodchraoladh?? Bhí an craic againn le “traitor na bliana” Carla Geary. Labhair sí faoin mbrú a bhain le bheith ina Traitor, an cháil nua atá bainte amach aici agus an rún mór a choinneáil óna teaghlach agus a cairde.  A disco diva Gaeilgeoir Ballymunner - what’s not to love?!

Yes we are…tá muid ag caint faoi bhróga agus poo! One of Síomha’s goals in life is to find her bróg go deo - but NOT Solomon’s.  Dá mbeadh ort bróg amháin a roghnú a léiríonn do phearsantacht, cén bhróg a bheadh inti? Find out what shoes the girls have picked for each other, praiticiúil nó maslach fiú? 👟 From dream shoes and disastrous footwear to compost toilets, you're gonna need your blister packs for this one.

An tseachtain seo tá muid ag caint faoi “shoot your shot”. Take a chance and put yourself out there, even when you might hear “no”.  Cén sórt duine thú? An cineál a dhéanann rudaí gan smaoineamh? From making the first moves, sliding into DMs or asking for an opportunity - glac seans agus bain triail as!  If you could shoot your shot tomorrow with absolutely no fear of rejection, cad a dhéanfá?  Bí i dteagmháil linn!
