You didn’t think Cian would let a full season go by without giving himself the opportunity to answer his own questions…. Of course he wouldn't!

So he has asked his gorgeous friend Clare to join him on mic for this (actual) final (bonus) episode of the season and she turns the tables on Cian himself as he chats about his first kiss, his first loss, his first felony… all the firsts you’ve come to expect if you have been an avid listener. And if you haven’t, sure season one isn’t going anywhere - it will sit on the platforms you get your podcasts on just waiting for you to press that play button. 

So… season two? Cian will be back to you on that topic but in true Cian style is just going to edge you a little. Maybe keep your eyes peeled on his instagram!
