Podcast Corner: Laura Kennedy on Second Self, and creating a new you
Laura Kennedy chats to Blindboy on the first episode of her new podcast.
Laura Kennedy, who holds a doctorate in philosophy and also works as a beauty editor, has started her own podcast, Second Self. Second Captains fans might remember Kennedy’s fascinating discussions with Ken Early on Conor McGregor and Jordan Peterson (check your archives if not - I always thought they should start a philosophy-type podcast together).
She says Second Self is a podcast about the self we inherit and the one we create. Released fortnightly, the first episode is a conversation with Blindboy, which touches on everything from the state of Limerick, Limerick accents in media (or lack thereof), mental health, constructing personas (while wearing a plastic bag on your head), a little bit of Freud, and lots more. It’s a great start to the series.
