Philip O’Connor is back — and still allergic to bullsh*t.

From trans rights in sport to media responsibility, fascism creeping into society, and what Sweden gets right (and wrong), this is one of those episodes when we sit back and enjoy the ride Phil takes us on!

We're back from a few weeks off to discuss Danny becoming a Da, the Pope passing away, and the madness of Papal history. We also catch up on League of Ireland football and what desserts the lads are scoffing after this episode.

Dublin, drink, and debauchery 🍻 Historian and host of the amazing Three Castles Burning, Donal Fallon is back for a great chat about the story of the Irish pub and Dublin’s early houses.

Award-winning journalist and best-selling author Aoife Moore is back— talking truths, trolls, and trends in media. After a stint with the BBC, she’s taken the leap into freelance journalism, swapping the newsroom for her passion for investigative documentaries. In this chat, Aoife talks about the big decision to go solo, her love for storytelling, and why she’ll never miss Twitter. Plus, the story behind her number-one bestseller, the wild world of Irish dating apps, and how journalism (and the country) is in a bit of a state.
