A healthy alternative to the bought Irish media blob. Don't agree with everything obviously and some informed debate would be great but usually worth a listen.

Ireland4 months ago - A welcome escape from the group think in Irish media.
Ireland is small but it’s no excuse for the cosy consensus that exists between our political class and media. It’s great to hear 2 people talking in the media that speak freely and intelligently!

Great to have John and Sarah back. Been listening to these podcasts since episode 1 when it was John and David Quinn. They tell it to you straight. No sugar coating here.
