Series Podcast Producer Marie-Louise Kerr in conversation with Mary Pat Kelly.

Step behind the scenes of Lisa McGee’s global hit Derry Girls and her new Belfast-set Netflix comedy-mystery, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast. Join award-winning podcaster Marie-Louise Kerr in conversation with Mary Pat Kelly for a lively look at the shows, the podcasts they inspired, and the creative world behind them.

Marie-Louise is one of the creators of the hit Talking Derry Girls podcast, produced with fellow BBC Radio veterans Jeanie Messinger and Pauline Moore. The trio, Derry natives won Gold at the Irish Podcast Awards for their wildly entertaining take on the series.
