A Whiff of Home: Surviving Ireland's Housing Crisis One Fart at a Time

Episode 18: A Whiff of Home: Surviving Ireland's Housing Crisis One Fart at a TimeIn this episode, hosts Amilia and Kelly take a hilarious walk down memory lane, reminiscing about the joys (and quirks) of their 1990s childhood homes. They paint a picture of their pasts, filled with strange but beloved décor like lava lamps, groovy chick posters, and those wildly colorful toilet seats that could either be a fashion statement or a questionable life choice. Let’s just say, it was a different time.Amilia and Kelly also dive into the mess of today’s Irish housing crisis, where Amilia’s been navigating the wild world of house viewings like a warrior on a quest for affordable living. Along the way, they chat about the importance of family connections, including the importance of grandparents and even great-grandparents. From bedroom wall posters, to decent cups of tea or remind you that Leonardo DiCaprio will forever be the ultimate heartthrob? (Sorry, everyone else.)The episode touches on some serious topics, like the financial hacks that come from saving in the credit union and just how important it is to find a place where you can truly “fart in peace.” Ah, the sweet, sweet luxury of being comfortable in your own space.Oh, and let’s not forget Amilia’s ongoing battle with a chesty cough—because what’s a podcast without a bit of real-life struggle? (But don’t worry, she’s still here, powering through.) The two also acknowledge their privilege, though they’d like to remind everyone that, sadly, it doesn’t get you that far these days. And for anyone wondering, yes, there’s a little side tangent about the posh side of Tallaght (where apparently, even the lava lamps have class), and you’ll hear all about the magic of bubble chairs and how they were the height of 90s luxury.For even more laughs and behind-the-scenes antics, head over to Instagram @Wasyourmaontelly, where the fun never ends!
