About Into Your Head podcast | About Matchstick Cats comics

Into Your Head is a unique long running audio comedy podcast from Ireland, by Neal O’Carroll.

When dry witted Irishman, acquired taste hobbiest humourist, socially awkward practically unheard-of legally blind cat obsessive, and husband Neal O’Carroll ingests* a

perfectly ordinary consumer grade generic energy drink, something happens.

There emerges a silver-tongued* purveyor of comical monologues, absurd analogies, illogical yet impressively argued opinions and copious Two Cats walk into a Bar stories.

Each segment starts with no idea how the first sentence will end or what topics may emerge. It’s a ludicrious creative non-method inspired partly by classic BBC panel show Just a Minute, praticed and honed over eighteen years and 800 episodes.

Yet here we are, in 2024, trying to retro actively construct a narrative around it, like it’s the label for a micro-brewary beverage. Not to mention referring to ourselves in both the third person singular and the first person plural.
