Notes on… House of Guinness and what’s next for Chicken Shop Date
Why is Irish culture having such a moment? Netflix’s new blockbuster House of Guinness is the latest in a run of Irish TV hits following Normal People, Derry Girls and Bad Sisters. Musicians CMAT and Kneecap are breaking out, Nicola Coughlan and Paul Mescal are dominating screens, and writers like Sally Rooney and Claire Keegan continue to top bestseller lists.
Amelia Dimoldenberg has awkwardly ‘dated’ top A-list guests like Billie Eilish, Louis Theroux, and, of course, Andrew Garfield on her viral YouTube show. This week, Chicken Shop Date turned 10 - where does she go from here?
Liv and Miranda love to share their recommendations, here’s what’s on their radar this week:
Miranda:
-The Irish Passport
-The Blind Boy Podcast
-Baxter Dury - Allbarone album
Liv:
-Four Mothers
