    May 3 2026

    On the Podcast this week...Jade Kirwan, known as the “self-build solo girl,” is a true force of resilience and ambition. Taking on the huge challenge of designing and building her own home entirely on her own, she’s become a powerful example of what’s possible with determination, courage, and self-belief.

    On the AIB podcast with Brendan Courtney, Jade shares a refreshingly honest insight into the realities of self-building, from the obstacles and doubts to the immense pride of creating something from the ground up. Her story is inspiring a new generation of women to step outside the traditional path, take risks, and build lives and homes completely on their own terms.

  • Brendan Courtney's My First Home with Fiona Frawley
    Apr 20 2026

    This week’s guest is the brilliant Fiona Frawley comedian, broadcaster, and one half of Spin 103.8’s Breakfast team, helping Dublin wake up laughing every morning.

    Off‑air, Fiona shares her home with her husband Duane Doogan and their dog Danish and as she tells Brendan, actually buying that home back in 2022 was anything but straightforward. From unexpected roadblocks to moments that felt more farce than fairytale, Fiona opens up about a house‑hunting journey that seriously tested her patience (and her sense of humor).


    It’s a light‑hearted, honest chat about comedy, radio, relationships and discovering that getting the keys to your dream home can sometimes come with a few plot twists along the way.

    There are plenty of practical tips along the way - so have your pen and paper ready - as well as moments of humour, heart and reassurance.

    If you’ve ever wondered if home ownership is possible, Fionas story proves that with the right support, it absolutely is.
