  • The Great Indoors
    Aug 28 2025

    Ireland is a country of breathtaking landscapes; mountains, rivers, forests, and seas. And yet, for all its beauty, we barely step into it. Unlike almost every other country, Ireland has no camping culture, no BBQ areas, no right to roam, and hardly any public facilities that make the outdoors accessible. Instead, generations have been told, directly and indirectly, that we can’t be trusted outside. In this episode, we explore why Ireland became a nation of “The Great Indoors,” how this disconnection affects our mental health and culture, and what we could gain by rebuilding a true relationship with the land. From saunas on our beaches to the absence of bins in our parks, this is a story about trust, freedom, and the need to step outside before it’s too late.

  • Inside Cork City Hall
    Aug 11 2025

    Cork is Ireland’s fastest-growing city, but you wouldn’t know it from how it’s run. The basics, the functional, everyday parts of a city, aren’t being looked after.

    Green spaces? Neglected. Paving? Patchwork. Maintenance? Slowed down by layers of bureaucracy. Even simple fixes, like painting poles or upgrading lighting, get lost in risk assessments and endless meetings.

    We don’t lack opportunity, we lack the will to act. And until that changes, Cork will keep growing without ever truly improving.

  • The News Of The World
    Jun 16 2025

    In this special report, we step inside the noise machine.

    From cancelled singers to algorithm-fed outrage, from war headlines to your friend’s Instagram story — what even is news anymore? And more importantly… what is it doing to us?

    Filmed in the style of a surreal newsroom broadcast, The News of the World is a satirical deep dive into the modern mind’s addiction to catastrophe. We explore:

    • The Róisín Murphy controversy — and what it reveals about public reaction
    • Antisocial media and the illusion of information
    • Emotional fragility in the age of infinite opinion
    • Why outrage spreads faster than truth
    • And whether tuning out makes you heartless… or human

    This isn’t about ignoring the world — it’s about surviving it.
