    Good show. Thorough and fast moving. Podcasts used to be uploaded way faster- as soon as show ended. Now it takes hours for them to appear making them slightly redundant.

  • 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.

Listeners Say

Key themes from listener reviews, highlighting what works and what could be improved about the show.

A strong international-to-local mix keeps it relevant for abroad listeners and locals alike.
Concise, fast-moving briefing; sometimes delayed updates to episodes frustrate listeners.
Segmented format is polarizing: some praise choice and variety, others want a single continuous episode.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Socio-economic factors linked to school absence - study
Q: Emer, can you talk us through how this research was carried out?
The study uses rich longitudinal data from Growing Up in Ireland to trace family, school, and neighborhood factors influencing attendance, across a program of work with the Tuesday Education Support Service.
EU Kids Act to change social media rules
Q: You're calling this EU Kids Act as it's been called daft. Why?
The guest explains why the proposed act could be seen as overly simplistic or impractical, arguing that the problem is complex and requires using proven protections rather than outright bans.
Metrolink cost likely higher than estimated
Q: What is the current projected price range for the Metrolink project and how does it compare to previous estimates?
The latest estimates put the range at about 14.5 to 17.5 billion euros, with a midpoint around 15.75 billion, which is roughly 6 billion higher than the previous midpoint of 9.5 billion from 2021 prices, reflecting updated costs in 2025-26 prices.
Homes now taking 4 years to complete - Central Bank
Q: What could help reverse the trend in housing completions?
Continued and effective implementation of action plans for planning-to-build timelines, plus progress on water and electricity infrastructure investments, are needed to reduce delays and boost completions.
Homes now taking 4 years to complete - Central Bank
Q: What is the main reason for the longer time to complete a house from planning to completion?
The delays appear to be occurring mainly between planning and commencement due to infrastructure delays, with additional time added after construction begins, resulting in longer overall completion times.
