141: The Nativity with Fiona Frawley

Comedian and writer Fiona Frawley joins us to talk about the rite of passage for many Irish schoolchildren, The Nativity Play. Not Alan though, his school was run by lax Catholics who didn’t bother with nativities. We talked about the plot, the theme, the characters of the nativity but also jumped off into a wider talk about growing up in a Catholic school system in a decreasingly Catholic society. That’s right, we Juvenaliaed it. Fiona is @FionaFrawl. She’s very funny, you should follow her. Alan is @alan_maguire. Juvenalia is his main thing right now. Sarah is @griffski. Her books are in all good bookshops. Thank you to Dee McDonnell for our artwork. We have a Patreon!
