  • Living on the streets.

    I have listened to quite a number of episodes and I can honestly say that I have really enjoyed them. Sadly this episode is incredibly racist and mal informed. I would like to point out that homelessness is very much an issue that affects all races. It was sad to hear Cullan agreeing with racist tropes regarding Eastern European people.
