  • Top class

    I look forward to the podcast every week. Mick has been one of the best journalists in Ireland for well over a decade. I love his easygoing style of getting to the point. We are blessed to have such a balanced journalist when we see the nonsense in other countries. Keep it going and stay in by the wall

  • Not on the ball

    Great topics but not on the ball. Richard O Rawe said South Armagh IRA didnt trust Scappatici.

    That’s a fascinating statement but did Clifford ask why that was?

    Many other examples
