From strength to strength,. My weekly news digest
The only Podcast I listen to where if I leave the room , even for 5 minutes, I’ll rewind what I missed.
Thank you John & Sarah. We are not alone
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.
Great to hear John and Sarah back on the airwaves. They are the voice of the unheard majority of most of the country, long may they prosper!
