  • Nicola Tallant.

    Nicola Tallant is such an incredibly annoying, domineering, self centred person. She has destroyed this podcast with her constant interruptions of the other presenters. No one cares about her fancy cars, luxury holidays . Just stick to the subject matter and do your job. I now only listen to the podcast if Niall is presenting it.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The life and crimes of Celtic Tiger socialite gangster Lee Cullen
Q: Remind us a little about that time.
Jenny Friel contextualizes the late-2000s Dublin social scene, the Katie French case, and Cullen's position within that network, explaining how the death catalyzed public scrutiny and court attention that would shape his later criminal proceedings.
Which actor to play Daniel Kinahan, the criminals we would have to dinner and what to expect at EP
Q: Will the Crime World merch be going on sale on your website?
They hint at upcoming merchandise drops for Electric Picnic attendees and discuss running competitions, with plans to offer t-shirts, tote bags, and mugs as part of a broader fan-engagement push.
Which actor to play Daniel Kinahan, the criminals we would have to dinner and what to expect at EP
Q: If you could have a dinner party with three crime guests, who would you invite and why? First, would you want to have?
The hosts speculate on a trio including Jerry Hutch, George 'the Penguin' Mitchell, and Kinahan Sr., debating how their personalities and histories would shape the table dynamics, while acknowledging that these figures are dangerous and unpredictable, which would make the dinner both fascinating and potentially volatile.
The fatal M9 wrong-way crash and the teens linked to the Lucky Dip gang
Q: What is the origin of the term Lucky Dip and how has the gang evolved?
The term originated with police references to a group that randomly selects targets from maps to steal cars and commit burglaries; it has expanded from a small Dublin-based group into a larger, cross-regional network driven by social-media visibility and the pursuit of internet 'likes', with copycat outfits emerging.
The Girl in the Water: What happened to Kelly Marie Lynch?
Q: What is the current status of the investigation or review into Kelly's death?
A Garda peer review concluded with multiple recommendations and a push for a coroner's inquest; a file is being prepared for the coroner, and the family hopes this process will bring more clarity and closure.
