  1. Review Under Review: a deep dive into online reviews of books, hotels, appliances, trips, and more.
  2. What the Fada?: Irish names, expressions, language learning
  3. This, That, & The Other: an introduction to this podcast; Thanks "Hello, Neighbor: Rough Translation" for gifting us the title of our podcast. 

What else can we do in a pandemic when we are in lockdown? We've decided to have a few chats with each other about "this, that, and the other" ... and record it. Enjoy the pod. 

If you're listening to this, you must be a family or friend -- so we expect some fact checking as this podcast progresses. :)
Also, we'll might just invite a few of you to join us on a future episode of the pod, if you're so inclined.  
Let us know what you want to hear or chat about!
