About this episode

The episode discusses the upcoming Dalkey Lobster Festival and Sorcha's preparations for the Parade of Lobster Queens.

It’s coming up in, like, two weeks’ time, and Sorcha is already practising her walk and wave for the Parade of Lobster Queens Past, wearing the sash and crown that she’s held onto ever since her victory in 2008, at the stort of the crash, on a platform of, I want to say, hope ?
