Caroline O’Donoghue

Join author Caroline O’Donoghue at Hay Festival as she hosts a live episode of her award-winning podcast Sentimental Garbage – a show that dives deep into the pop culture we love. The podcast celebrates the stories that women create, which are often undervalued, and has featured episodes about Nora Ephron, the high-street, cult-classic films and everything in between.

Bring your most beloved trash topics, the guilty pleasures you’re dying to see dissected, and O’Donoghue and a special guest will pick them apart live on stage. No topic too messy, no pleasure too guilty.

With over 11 million downloads worldwide, Sentimental Garbage has been called “exceptionally perceptive and funny” (The Times) and “full of humour, pace and sharp analysis” (The Irish Times). In its own words, Sentimental Garbage is a podcast not about knowing the most, but feeling the most.
