Brian Dowling's podcast series 'Death Becomes Him' is nearing the end of its second series and since Mairead herself is the latest guest on the podcast, he returned the favour and joined Mairead on the show.

Brian's mum Rosie passed away in 2018, and in the podcast he speaks to someone who has also gone through a loss to have an open and honest conversation about it and how they got through it.

He said that while we all go through loss, we all react to it differently but there are uniting factors we all go through too and we can find great comfort in that.

It was important to Brian that he added some humour to the podcast too, so you can expect laughter among the tears. The penultimate episode features Mairead herself and is available now.

I can’t believe we are here already. Today marks the PENULTIMATE Episode, Episode 9 of @deathbecomeshimbybdg featuring the fabulous @cocomairead will be LIVE today from 1pm across all podcast platforms. In this candid chat Mairead opens up about her mums passing & laughs when she tells me about her mum encouraging her to pursue a career in radio even though she was only 20 years old & didn’t have the contacts or background to succeed in such a competitive industry. Mairead’s mum was her champion. She encouraged her, supported her and gave her the confidence to land her first radio gig at just 21 years of age. Mairead speaks about the devastation she felt when her mum passed away on the eve of her 21st birthday and how despite the sadness, she thrived thanks to the upbringing her mother had given her. #deathbecomeshim #podcast #episode9 #talkingistherapy
