The Limerick Lady 19: Claire Beck, Pride Month and Postive Allyship

Lockdown continues apace in many respects, and our hosts are still limited to virtual hang-outs with their special guests - no huggin' or pints! This month, Ann and Emma dropped boat-dwelling DJ and Today Fm presenter Claire Beck a line. A familiar name to many, Claire is a stalwart of Irish radio and tells our hosts about getting her start in pirate radio in Dublin in her teens. June is Pride Month and talk turns to how Pride has drifted a little from its original meaning but has lost none of its importance. Our hosts and guest discuss the importance of strong allies to all marginalised communities, and chat about language and "cancel culture".  Follow Claire Beck @Clairebeck1052 and tune into her show, Claire Beck's Saturday SoundSystem, Saturday nights on @todayfm Follow Ann on Twitter @annblake78 and Insta @annblakeplay and The Brad Pitt Light Orchestra @bplo  Follow all things Emma www.emmalangfordmusic.com and join her patreon here https://www.patreon.com/emmalangford Follow all things Ormston House @ormstonhouse and www.ormstonhouse.com Recorded with support from Ormston House Feminist Supermarket and The Limerick Post @limerickpost www.limerickpost.ie This podcast goes out the third Thursday of every month or 'Thirdsday' - if you will.
