  • Way too many short clips

    As an Irishman living in Africa, RTE is the best source for Audubon news updates, but why can it not be more streamlined. So many short repetitive clips that fill up the playing list.

    Please provide a separate option to listen back to the whole show in one podcast. Thanks.

Jonathan Wilson suggests Infantino is in significant trouble, potentially more than at any other point since his 2016 election, due to the scale of withdrawals and the threat of a coordinated European bloc, which could destabilize his bid for re-election.
Fire services working to put out gorse fire in Glencullen

"Unprecedented increase in the number of attendances" at UHL

Europe continues to experience extreme heat
Q: What are the drivers behind the heat and what should we prepare for in the future?
