- The Trouble with the Troubles
I’m a long time listener, and I’m speaking directly of this series focused on the Troubles. I’ve read the book, ‘Say Nothing’. It is compelling. I’ve not seen the program, nor will.
Michael McConville has said he believes the Disney show to be “horrendous” and “cruel” yet the promoting of the book and show seems insensitive at best. There is a lack of understanding from all of you.
Disappointing.

Apple Podcasts5Manisha UngerUnited States16 days ago - Great content but …
I am new to this podcast and starting with the series about Ireland. The guest is excellent and she knows how to tell the story. But Ms. Anand keeps interrupting her and wants to show her knowledge vs. the guest/expert. And at times talks over the other host. It’s very hard to listen too.
