  • Wonderful

    Honest and frank view into parts of society that we don’t normally hear from.

    Some really hard luck stories but all the people he talks to, have a warmth and openness that’s hard to find these days.

    I wish every podcast was this good.

    Keep up the good work, Paddy.

Q: What does temporary release mean for you and how does it affect your routine?

Q: What's gonna happen to you, do you think?
