The Two Norries is a weekly podcast hosted by Timmy Long and James Leonard that focuses on trauma, mental health, addiction, prison systems, recovery and access to education.

[2] The podcast in part resulted from Leonard's January 2020 interview on the Saturday night Tommy Tiernan Show broadcast on RTÉ Television.

[3] Reflecting on the coverage, Leonard said despite being reluctant to appear, fearing he would be forever and thereafter branded as just an addict, he went ahead as he had "a feeling that my story would resonate with people, but I had no idea of the scale of it".

[4][5] The podcast, which was broadcast weekly, featured interviews with recovering Irish sport-stars, musicians and comedians, as well as a cancer patient, a therapist, a psychologist, a prison governor and a doctor commenting on the availability of prescription barbiturates in Cork's northside during the 1990s and 2000s.

The hosts James Leonard and Timmy Long, aged 35 and 40 respectively as of 2021, were previously addicted to drugs which led them to prison and institutional care, but both have been in recovery since the early 2010s.

"[4] As of March 2021, Leonard was working towards a PhD in criminology at University College Cork (UCC),[4] having already achieved a Bachelor of Arts and Master's degree in the subject.
