Only proper Irish journalism in town
It’s 3 angry middle-aged Marxists complaining. Managed 10 minutes.

The show combines sharp political analysis with investigative-style takes on current affairs in Ireland and beyond, often layering activist perspectives onto coverage of neutrality, defence, media narratives, and power dynamics. Recent episodes frequently critique mainstream coverage, push for public-interest journalism, and connect Irish politics to global debates like NATO, arms deals, and international sports diplomacy. Noteworthy is the visible blend of on-the-ground activism, historical context, and cross-border perspectives, making it a potential magnet for listeners who value independent inquiry and provocative discourse that challenges official narratives.
