FULL SHOW | World Sleep Day, strange history and procrastination

Sam steps in for Ella alongside Matilda and Maddy for a St Patrick’s Day themed Cereal Box. The team dive into the origins of the holiday, chat about leprechauns, and spiral into a broader debate about mythological creatures — including which one they’d be.

From there, the conversation turns nostalgic as they revisit their childhood hobbies: Matilda’s Irish dancing days, Sam’s fascination with niche toys like tunic cubes and yo-yos, and Maddy’s loom band bracelet era in primary school.

Plus, the trio debate whether the Irish goodbye is actually the best way to leave a party or event without the awkward farewells.

Presenters: Sam Kelly, Maddy Halford, Matilda Prelec

Executive Producers: Ella Le Fournour, Sam Kelly
