Well done on today’s episode, like so many other times you’re shining a light on important issues. This is why I am happy to pay my Irish time subscription. Again well done and keep up the good work.!
I live in California and really appreciate getting a world perspective from Ireland and the UK. The news is balanced and offers news and culture from outside the U.S. bubble. Thank you.
From an Irish Times subscriber, what an elitist and biased podcast contributor Hugh Linehan is on the recent Kneecap episode.
Stick to writing, his disdain for people doesn’t come across quite as strong on the newspaper page.
Yet another excellent show from in the news. Really enjoyed the interview with Scott Lucas
I think this is becoming one of my favourite podcasts. Every episode is something different and I look at the heading and think ah I'm not really interested in that but I listen anyway and, a minute in, I am hooked. A nice change from true crime or American politics (my other obsessions).
Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.
