Can’t Cope

Two cousins. Two cities. Zero filters.


Kelsey and Rebecca have been roaring down the phone at each other for years, so they thought, feck it, let’s make a podcast.


Kelsey’s in London, a rock & roll queen behind the decks, DJing her way through the city’s wildest nights. Rebecca’s in Cork, a vibrant powerhouse who’s thriving in her career and full of life. They’ve got romance in the bag, but their to-do lists are screaming for help.


Together, they’re an unstoppable riot.


Every week, they dive into the things that wreck your head, make you scream, or have you absolutely HOWLING. Whether it’s nights out that should have ended hours ago or work disasters, if there’s drama, they’re in it, and if there’s a laugh to be had, they’re definitely having it.


And, of course, they’ll be sharing what they ‘Can’t Cope’ with this week, like emotional breakdowns over bakery hours and dress straps that won’t behave.


They’re not here to be wise or offer life-changing advice, but if you love talking nonsense, love the drama (but from a safe distance), and love two women who say what you’re thinking, this is the podcast for you.

New episode every week. Strap in, ya mad thing.
