  • A fallen show

    Used to be interesting and worthy of the world’s most popular independent show.

    These days, a constant diatribe of negativity about Israel going beyond bias into a repetitive boring rant. There is no balance. Come the pay wall, I amongst many others will be gone and it will be the left wing echo chamber so historically derided by Richie.

  • The Attitide Era of Politics? Bitter, angry and suffering from terminal TDS

    Want to listen to an arrogant, cross, thin-skinned, middle-aged Irishman with a lisp, who constantly stutters and smacks his lips, is incredibly close-minded (while claiming the opposite) and can’t take any criticism? Then this is your show.

    Something snapped in Richie Allen during 2024. He used to be an occasional good listen, and he used to have a sense of humor. However, during 2024, he became sullen and morose, took a ton of time off, and rarely updated his website to tell his audience ... more

  • Wait for it. Bitter, angry and suffering from terminal TDS

    Want to listen to an arrogant, cross, thin-skinned, middle-aged Irishman with a lisp, who constantly stutters and smacks his lips, is incredibly close-minded (while claiming the opposite) and can’t take any criticism? Then this is your show.

    Richie Allen loves living in the past, constantly telling his listeners that he is “an old trade unionist” (his daily virtue signal) and that he “worked in the MSM” (which he believes gives him credibility). He also constantly claims that he is a “proper ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 2219: The Richie Allen Show Thursday April 9th 2026
Q: What would you like to see happen in the face of this blockade?
The host and guest express a desire for direct dialogue between the government and protesters, rather than sole engagement with selected representative bodies, to resolve the crisis and ease livelihood pressures.
Episode 2211: The Richie Allen Show Tuesday March 24th 2026
Q: John, by my reckoning, humanity has gone through five ages. Do you think we are now in a sixth transformation, and how would you describe that shift to someone from another civilization?
Waters suggests we are entering a new transformative era driven by rapid technological and ethical changes, where the pace of progress outstrips moral governance. He argues reality is being sanitized and manipulated by elites, and that understanding this requires examining who writes the messages and how compromised individuals control narratives.
Episode 2214: The Richie Allen Show Tuesday March 31st 2026
Q: Why does it matter which ethnic or cultural backgrounds the perpetrators come from in these cases?
Raja argues that it matters because ethnicity and culture can influence social dynamics, policing responses, and the willingness of institutions to confront abuse; excluding these factors historically allowed a cover-up, and including them helps uncover structural issues and accountability.
Episode 2215: The Richie Allen Show Wednesday April 1st 2026
Q: What is your take on the Prince Harry case and how it reflects on the media industry?
Hart explains that the case highlights the immense power the press wielded historically, the questionable methods used, and how whistleblowers reveal deeper entanglements with powerful figures; she expresses sympathy for Harry but emphasizes the need for accountability and transparency in reporting.
Episode 2208: The Richie Allen Show Wednesday March 18th 2026
Q: What triggered the decision to sue Google and the US government in this case?
Westall describes a history of being targeted by impersonation channels, losing control of her content, and the broader pattern of platform coercion and government influence that led her to pursue legal action, aiming to challenge Section 230 immunity and argue that a government-private sector alignment harms free speech and competition.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Richie Allen Show
