159: #159 | Swear It All Over Again: Megan Figueroa & the Politics of Expletives

You may have see promos for Nicholas Cage's new show on Netflix all about swear words. Well, we had the idea first. While Darach was slaving over Christmas dinner, Peadar and Gearóidín sat down with Dr. Megan Figueroa from the Vocal Fries Podcast to discuss the history, politics and even the gendered nature of dirty words.
Be warned this podcast contains wall-to-wall f*ks, b*ds, b**ks and more. Not for the fainthearted.

Listen to Gearóidín's appearance on The Vocal Fries here: https://anchor.fm/the-vocal-fries/episodes/Irish-isnt-Just-Decorative-e9t9jk
