Live from the Convent

Live from a convent in Ireland. Various topics and guests. Dark and honest. Website of host: www.ajl.works. This podcast is for those of us who used to mess around with a tape recorder as children. Making our own ridiculous radio shows. A lot of improv here - unpolished, experimental, full of play, good jokes and abysmal ones.
