Summary
The Tommy, Hector and Laurita Podcast will return on Thursday, October 9th. The trio had stepped away from the mics in April 2024 to focus on other projects, but this autumn they’re back with a 10-week run of brand-new episodes.
The upcoming season was recorded in front of an intimate audience at The King’s Head in Galway, marking the first time the show welcomed a live audience. Following the same style as previous episodes, the podcast promises the beloved mix of sharp storytelling, unpredictable tangents, and laugh-out-loud moments their listeners have come to love.
Since launching in September 2020, when the hosts first gathered in a garden shed in the West of Ireland to record, the podcast has grown a loyal community and become a fixture in the Irish podcasting landscape. Their return marks the beginning of another memorable chapter, with fans and hosts alike eager to have the henhouse trio reunited!
“I’m very happy to be diving in with these two messers again….the soul and the craic of them is such a tonic to be a part of…..And the addition of doing it in front of a live crowd each week, pint in paw, adds a magnificent twist and adrenaline and energy to the whole thing. I hope you enjoy it,” said Tommy Tiernan
“After Babies, World Tours, Abbey Stages & Books, finally The Band is Back Together . From the moment we sat around the microphones the laughter and giddiness and craic picked up where we left off…. And this time we are not in the Hen House we are Live!!,” said Hector Ó'hEochagáin”
“Recording THL in front of a live audience if the best fun I’ve had with my clothes on.” said Laurita Blewitt
Produced by Mabinóg and SwanMcG, and powered by Acast.
