'I have a full and beautiful life', says Irish writer Marian Keyes, 'The only thing I can't do is drink'. And the experience of addiction and recovery is something she's given to the main character in her book Again, Rachel, a sequel to Rachel's Holiday.

Also, Michael Trant writes a book on his tractor, Jane Caro explores coercive control in The Mother and Rhett Davis's debut novel, Hovering.

Two legendary storytellers meet the queens for candid chats in this weeks episode. National treasure and international best selling author Marian Keyes chats to Candy and Kiki about Ireland before and after the marriage referendum and repeal the 8th, mental health, botox and her infamous Sephora trips. The queens also chat to one of the world's best known drag queens, Miss Coco Peru. They speak about her scene stealing performances in To Wong Foo and Will and Grace plus how she began drag in a pre - internet political time and how we should all use our voices more plus her once in a lifetime trip to Ireland with her mother. The queens also discuss their recent courtroom drama with Linda Cardellini. 

Hosted by Candy Warhol and Kiki St Clair - For more information head to friendsofdorothypod.com or @friendsofdorothypod on IG. 

Welcome to our summer series where we play you some of our favourite episodes that you might have missed or might want to revisit.

Marian Keyes is one of the most successful authors in the world. She’s sold 35 million books in 35 languages and she’s done that by writing about women’s lives….in all their messiness. She writes the words and the feelings that are inside your head and she makes women feel seen and heard and understood. In a laugh out loud way.

She’s able to do this because she - like most of us - has had some bloody tough times in her own life. She’s battled addiction, crippling mental illness….and it’s those experiences that give her writing and her such incredible warmth and truth...
