    Never had a problem with any presentation before I listened to the one about Ana Kriegel. I haven’t heard either of the presenters before but I didn’t like the way it was portrayed there was no sensitivity at all ,they talked over each other all the time and no one needs to hear details like they discussed. They laughed at being unpopular with your teenager. No one gained from this horrific crime and it should have been given more sensitivity.

  • Too many ads

    This used to be my favourite podcast but it’s not the same anymore. The ads at the beginning go on for too long and now there are ads in the middle as well. The add-on extract at the end is annoying too.

  • Too many ads

    Used to enjoy this podcast, but it has become unlistenable. Selling ads in every available way & place, forced in the middle, massive section of selling the new paid content. Unlistenable.

Sligo property tycoon jailed for savagely beating three innocent teenagers
Q: What was the outcome in court, and what were the key factors in the judge's decision?

Sligo property tycoon jailed for savagely beating three innocent teenagers
Q: What were the core events that led to the charges against Cathal O'Connor, and when did the attack occur?
The attack occurred around March 18, 2024, with three 13-year-old boys attacked at a warehouse in Sligo after being accused of breaking windows; the violence escalated to choking, hitting with an iron bar, and a saw being used to threaten the youths. CCTV later corroborated the victims' accounts.
Tommy Fleming's private recordings, pedo hunters using dating apps & family shoplifting sprees
Q: Are pedo hunter groups actually using dating apps to lure suspects, and what are the legal implications?
Yes, the teams are reportedly using dating apps and decoys to engage with men; the discussion highlights that legal concerns focus on consent, the age representations, and the potential liability around confrontations or publishing conversations, with some arguing that criminal liability can arise from actions beyond the initial contact.
Teen target of grenade attack is ‘active participant’ in Ballymun gang feud
Q: How has the Ballymun feud evolved to the point of public violence and grenade attacks?
The feud grew from localized drug disputes and opportunistic violence, involving largely teenage participants who are mobilized through social networks and rivalry, with police noting a pattern of escalating incidents over about two years leading to casualties and a broader sense of danger.
The ‘infidelity kits’ used to swab and test your partners’ underwear
Q: What should someone do if they suspect they're being surveilled or controlled by these devices?
The guidance is to document what you observe, reach out to authorities or organizations like Women's Aid, and seek professional support, rather than attempting to confront the situation alone or in secret.
