About Into Your Head podcast | About Matchstick Cats comics

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

Cartoon image of podcaster talking into microphone at desk while three of his cats vomit.

When dry witted Irishman, acquired taste hobbiest humourist, socially awkward practically unheard-of legally blind cat obsessed underachiever 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.
