Carl Mullan announces latest venture... and no, it's not Liveline
Carl Mullan has announced a new joint venture with his wife Aisling. The 2FM host, who some speculated was going to replace Joe Duffy on Liveline after he participated in a sketch where he became the host of the show, married his childhood sweetheart Aisling in 2022, with the couple sharing three children together. While they're married with children, they've decided to take their relationship to the next level: with Carl announcing on Instagram that he and Aisling are starting a podcast together. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Carl Mullan (@carlmullan) The podcast, which is named How Are Ya Lovie? with Aisling and Carl, will debut on Monday, with Carl writing on his Instagram 'hello is that a new podcast? How are ya lovie how are ya getting on? Coming this Monday.' People were delighted at the couple's new podcast, with one person commenting 'hook it to my veins.' 'Amazing,' another wrote, while another commented 'this will be absolute gold!!!!' Carl Mullan and his wife Aisling have announced that they're starting a podcast together. Pic: Brian McEvoy Carl's new venture is not what some had in mind for him, however, as he had to set the record straight that he is not, in fact, the new host of Liveline — despite him 'auditioning' to replace Joe. Calling himself an award winning dancer and Irish media sex symbol, Carl said 'I would like to clear up some confusion that has been created today. So yesterday, there was a video released on the 2FM Instagram page where I was seen in the RTÉ Radio One studio, and people have been speculating as to whether it might mean I may take over from Joe Duffy. 'I would like to clear up the confusion and confirm that yes, I am absolutely definitely in the running to take over from Joe Duffy even though I've just started a brand new show on 2FM,' Carl joked. Carl recently had to dispel rumours that he would be going for Joe Duffy's job as host of Liveline. Pic: Instagram/RTE As for his podcast co-host, Carl and Aisling have an adorable love story which began when they were just teenagers.
