Wealth & power: Is America becoming a billionaire-run democracy?

American politics has always been about money but has America now reached the point where money, power, and political loyalty have become almost inseparable? Billions are spent on elections, wealthy donors can buy access, and the supreme court has just opened the door to even greater campaign spending. At the same time, Donald Trump is attacking institutions designed to constrain presidential power while surrounding himself with some extraordinarily loyal and unconventional appointments. So, is American democracy being hollowed out from within and are politicians now more interested in serving themselves, their donors, and their president than the people who elected them? Pat is joined by Larry Donnelly, Scott Lucas and Marion McKeone to discuss.

Diana’s Legacy: How has the British monarchy changed since her death?

It is almost 30 years since the death of Princess Diana, a moment that changed the royal family, the British public, and the way we think about the monarchy. In the years since, her story has continued to shape the royal family, from William and Harry's very different paths, to Harry and Meghan stepping away from royal duties, and publicly criticising the institution. So, how much has the monarchy really changed since Diana’s death, and how much of what we see today can be traced back to 1997? Enda Brady joins Pat to look at Diana’s enduring legacy, the royal family today, and the latest chapter in the Harry and Meghan story.
