Herself & Herself
Society & Culture
About
Herself (Dympna Little) and Herself ( Mary-Claire Fitzpatrick) bring their sharp observations and off-kilter banter as they dive into the big and small dramas of everyday life -awkward public transport encounters, the politics of married life, DIY disasters, family expectations, and the strange comfort of true-crime obsession. These two women know exactly how to wind each other up, make each other laugh, and land on surprisingly heartfelt moments when you least expect them. It’s the show for anyone who loves a good rant, a rogue memory, or a conversation that goes entirely off the rails in the best possible way.
