Well lads, let’s start this week’s blog post with a huge thank you from myself and the entire Mind Full Podcast team (hi, Brian!). With your support and love for all things Mindfulness (with a bit of craic), we have reached #1 on both Apple Podcasts and Spotify! We couldn’t have done it without your support and I owe you all a cuppa to say thanks (a virtual cuppa that is I mean come on, I’m hardly Daniel O’Donnell).
This Week on The Mind Full Podcast….
In this episode, I’m sitting down with none other than my former co-host and longtime friend, Dave Moore. Yep, you heard me right – after over two decades of working together on the Dermot and Dave Show on Today FM, Dave and I are finally reuniting for a chat that’s bound to be filled with laughs, insights, and maybe even a few tears (but only the good kind!).
The Mind Full Podcast is the latest offering in Dermot Whelan’s highly successful Mind Full adventure. The Mind Full Podcast is a home for people whose minds are…well, full! Dermot explores the topics that can help us to calm a frantic mind, understand our behaviour and explore our own potential.
With a new topic of focus each week in discussion with an exciting array of guests ranging from Hollywood stars, musicians and broadcasters to expert technical contributors from the world of science, listeners will get the best information to help them make positive changes in their lives and create that mental space to live their days with more joy.
As a certified meditation teacher, Dermot also presents his own expertise through weekly guided meditations and answering callers’ questions.
It’s serious transformation, without being too serious!

Can friends have break ups? Do men handle break ups differently to women? What do you do if you fall out with a sibling? In this episode we explore the tricky topic of relationships – how best to navigate them, appreciate them, change them and, if required, end them! The people we spend time with shape who we are and how we feel so get ready for a deep dive into relationships in all their forms.
This week’s guest is none other than my former radio co-host for over two decades, Dave Moore. Dave and I lived in each other’s pockets since 2002 until, that is, I told him I was leaving the Dermot and Dave Show on Today FM last August after 21 years on air together. It has been quite the adjustment for us both and we get right into it in this conversation.
Our technical guest this week is Louize Carroll from Prism Therapy Online who guides us through the various types of relationships and the challenges that we can face with each one.

Meet My “Ex-Work Wife” Dave
Now, let me tell you a little bit about Dave and me. We’ve been through it all together – from the highs of radio success to the lows of, well, trying to survive each other’s company day in and day out! But all jokes aside, Dave truly is like a work-wife to me. We spent over two decades living in each other’s pockets, until I dropped the bombshell last August that I was leaving the show. Needless to say, it’s been quite the adjustment for both of us as we transition from being super intense radio partners to just being super casual BBF’s (best bro friends).
Exploring the Tricky Terrain of Relationships:
In this episode, with Dave’s trademark wit and wisdom, we tackle all the things that best friends don’t usually talk about because that’s the kind of friends we are. And we find out what Dave really thought about me leaving the show! But be prepared – there may be tears as it’s totes emosh (do the cool kids still say that?!)
Insights from Rockstar Psychologist Louize Carroll:
But wait, there’s more than Moore! Joining us for this enlightening chat is none other than rockstar psychologist Louize Carroll from Prism Therapy Online. As well as being an international name in the world of psychology, Louize is also the kick-ass bass player in the legendary Irish band The Blizzards.
Together, the three of us delve deep into the intricacies of human relationships, sharing insights, stories, and maybe even a few laughs along the way.
That’s A Wrap…
So there you have it, folks – a glimpse into the world of Dermot and Dave, friendship, and the importance of cherishing the relationships that truly matter. I can’t wait for you to hear our chat and get a sense of just why Dave and I outlasted all the other radio duos out there. This is an over-due conversation, one you won’t want to miss!
So, what are you waiting for? Click that play button, sit back, and let’s navigate the wild and wonderful world of relationships together. And hey, if you like what you hear (which I know you will), don’t forget to hit subscribe and come back for more every Monday.

Back to The Mind Full Podcast and in this brand-new episode we ask the question ‘Does Gratitude Really Work?’
We hear a lot about gratitude these days. Catchy slogans like “Attitude of Gratitude” are plastered over mugs, tea towels and t-shirts the world over. But is there real science behind it and, if so, just what is the correct way to practice it so that we see real tangible benefits? Well, one incredible lady who can truly vouch for its effectiveness is this week’s special guest. I am so happy to bring you this wonderful conversation with an amazing lady at the top of her game!
Angela Scanlon has recently taken over from Graham Norton at Virgin Radio in the UK presenting her own weekend show, has been a regular face on RTÉ, BBC and Channel 4 TV over the last ten years, appearing in shows like BBC’s One Show, Robot Wars, Your Home Made Perfect and Strictly Come Dancing.
Heavily involved in fashion from an early age, she has fronted campaigns for the likes of Louis Vuitton and has written a bestselling book Joyrider – How Gratitude Can Get You the Life You Really Want. And it’s that gratitude we want to zone in on in this episode. Angela speaks to me from her UK home and talks about how insecurity and imposter syndrome had her struggling badly at a time when everyone thought she was living the perfect life. Learn how her finding gratitude shaped how she perceives the world and how her new star role on radio has come just at the right time.
But what about the all-important science of gratitude? Well, we have an incredible scientific heavy-hitter to unpack the science stuff and get you set up for real, tangible brain-boosting benefits! Joining me to uncover and explain the fascinating neuroscience of gratitude is medical doctor, psychologist, behavioral neuroscientist and neurotechnology expert Dr. Michael Keane! Nobody knows the brain like Michael and his easy going and accessible approach will be just what you need to unlock the true power of a grateful mindset. What an episode to end the series on!
Thank you all SO much for listening! Stay tuned for Season 2 coming real soon and watch out for lots of fun stuff coming over the next weeks and months too!
