Tis the lads from Sabrina the Teenage Witch- Nate and Curtis!!!

1 hr 43 min

I dunno about you but my dream life as a teenager would have been Sabrina Spellman's- point your finger at something and it has your wardrobe, or gets rid of someone or whatever you need.. and then she had the great friends and cute boyfriend. Well I am living out a dream here as I got to speak to 2 stars of the show- Nate who played Harvey and Curtis who played Gordy. Hear what it was like to be a teen star in Hollywood, and how hard it is when that ends to try and get work. The boys share behind the scenes stories and why to make money these days you need to be doing a lot more than acting. And we talk 30 years of Sabrina, and how the fans have reacted!

Tis Your Man the Snooker Hero- Ken Doherty: From a biscuit tin to a homecoming Cup

47 min

Never thought I'd get the chance to talk to a snooker legend like Ken, especially considering I can only pot the white when I am on the table! Got the chance to chat childhood, sport, retiring and more with the Dubliner in this chat. Ken talked about the sport that hooked him in as a kid and why he quit football for the pool table. He told me about the hard times leaving Dublin for London, and what it felt like to fail at his first big test. He talked about the £2 cue that brought him fame and fortune and how he is missing a trophy all these years later. But he told me of his proudest moment, in 1997, coming home to a hero's welcome and handing the winning trophy to his mam. AND I have a giveaway! If you want to go and see Ken live, email welltisyourself@gmail.com or contact me on Instagram. All thanks to Vivatbet for the exclusive tickets!!

From boyband star to braving it on his own, I caught up with streaming success Ryan Mack.

He is open and honest about the music industry, the finances that go with it and why each person needs to look at their own life to see if it's for them. We also talk about audiences, and stars playing the right venues, and so much more.

1 hr 5 min

2010 was a huge year for music, and a lot of it came from the X Factor. Matt Cardle, Mary Byrne, One Direction of course.. and today's guest, Aiden Grimshaw. A fan favourite, his versions of Gold Digger, Mad World and more made him a household name. He released an album after leaving the show and then tells me why he slipped into the background, happier to be away from the scene. But now he is back, reclaiming his name, releasing his new single Talk (click HERE to hear it) We talk about why the show was like uni to him, why he has blocked a lot of it out, and what it is like to disappear when everyone knows your name.

Tis Your Man the referee- David Gough!!!

56 min

The refffferreeee's a legend! You don't tend to hear nice things about referees but I for one will only have good things to say about my guest today! David has been a ref for years and is one of the most respected in GAA. And he won the respect of the LGBTQ+ community when he publicly came out in 2015 in the campaigning for the Marriage Equality Referendum. Since then, he has been fighting for Pride in the GAA and in sports. This week a documentary aired on TG4 with David at the helm, called Misneach: Bród sa Spórt, which looks at our sports and if they are a safe place for gay players. You can watch it back on the TG4 player. In this chat we discuss everything from doorknocking for permission to get married, to why it's harder to ref a small club game than a full house at Croker. I hope you enjoy. Please share, rate, review and comment. GRMA x Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/tis-yourself. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tis Your One from Hollyoaks- Ali Bastian!!!

1 hr 40 min

Sorry for the delay between episodes but I am so excited to bring you this chat with Ali! As many of you might know, she recently discovered she had breast cancer and has gone through treatment, with her husband, family, neighbours and loved ones providing endless love and support. In this chat, we discuss her cancer journey, how she found out she had it just weeks after moving to Ireland, and how the people she least expected turned up for her. We also talk TV, being a star in the era of the lads mags and the naughties, that teacher-student affair storyline and why we are both aiming for the small wins from now on. Ali is the loveliest guest you could hope for, so open, honest and goddamn hilarious! I hope you enjoy. If you are worried about yourself and anything we discussed, please seek medical help. The Irish Cancer Society have loads of info on cancer.ie, in the UK, try breastcanceruk.org or the helpline closest to you.

Tis Your Man from The Script- Glen Power!!!

1 hr 13 min

I am BACK! That is right, season 6 is here! I have missed recording weekly for you all so I brought an amazing guest along! The wonderful Glen Power from The Script is here to talk about how he got into music and the band, the highs and lows of being on the road, shunning fame and of course, losing Mark Sheehan last year. Glen often stayed in the background in the band so it was wonderful to hear his thoughts, his gratitude, his fears and his feelings on so many topics. This is one that #TheScriptFamily will love but even those who are not huge fans.
