    Disturbing and heartbreaking but absolutely brilliant. Joey is an incredible human being, I only wish more could have been done for him when he really needed it. I hope that him & his family have the bright happy future that they so rightly deserve and that those who did him wrong never see the light of day again.

  • Best podcast I’ve ever listened to.

    Joseph O Callahan is quite possible the strongest, bravest Irishman that ever lived. This is what should be part of the school curriculum. I have a young boy and when he’s old enough I will encourage him to listen to Joseph’s story of how easily and invisibly your life can be manipulated by dangerous people. Your mother Mary sounds like an amazing person, who has instilled the morals and strength to get through what you have unbeknownst to her. May you all have a peaceful and easy life from now... more
