Irelanda month ago - Andrew Lownie interview on arrest
Hi, thank you for your interview. It is April 30, 2026 and I just feel kind of devastated this morning.

United States6 months ago - No substance and out of touch
There was far too much judgement and constant snide, knowing comments throughout from Bernice Harrison, she was so snobbish and adding personal opinions than actually letting Conor Gallagher tell a compelling story.

Let him speak and let us listen to him. Instead, it drifted into unnecessary commentary and au... more
Apple Podcasts1Londonlook223Ireland6 months ago - Appalling Tommy Robinson podcast
You’re only as good as your worst podcast and the podcast on Tommy Robinson was a disgrace. No discussion of the subject’s alleged Islamophobia. No questions around his alleged drug taking. No pushback on some of his outlandish and inaccurate statistics. No mention of his time in prison. That’s just the basic stuff. It’s not journalism, it’s platforming a dangerous individual. Forget about the Irish times
