  • These RTÉ pods are my favorite.

    I am loving these RTÉ podcasts (I’m American, had never heard of the station prior). They’ve become some of my favorite crime shows to date. The season on Samantha was my entry, followed by Carrie Jade - both are A+. I’m finishing up Where is Jón and will move on to season 5 after. Love the story telling on all! Enjoying Jón way more than I expected - really well done, and really like how the Icelandic and Irish teams are coming together! Looking forward to more and more.
