Ireland’s Magdalene Laundries: Why Were Women Locked Away? [The Shepherds' Secrets 1]This episode includes survivor testimony and references to abuse. Nothing is described in graphic detail. Why were tens of thousands of Irish women detained in Magdalene Laundries, often sent there by the people they trusted most? Most never received a sentence. Many never left. In the opening episode of a three part series, The Shepherds' Secrets, I explore how this system took hold in Ireland through the history of the Good Shepherd Laundry in Waterford. From its origins as a lay-run rescue asylum for women who worked in prostitution, I trace its transformation under religious control into an institution of high walls, barred windows and forced labour. At the heart of this history are the women themselves. Through the stories of ‘Alice C.’, Maureen Sullivan and ‘Nancy S.’, I ask why Irish society treated women, particularly working-class women, so appallingly and how families, religious orders and the state sustained this system for generations. Credits and Links Thanks to Maureen Sullivan and Dr Elizabeth Riordan-Coppin for their time and permission to use their interviews. Written, produced and narrated by Fin Dwyer. Audio Editor: Kate Dunlea The interviews with Maureen Sullivan and Dr Elizabeth Riordan-Coppin used in this series were recorded by Dr Jennifer O'Mahoney as part of the Waterford Memories Project. Thanks to the many people who were interviewed for this series: Professor Katherine O'Donnell, Dr Claire McGettrick born Lorraine Hughes, John Spencer, Dr Sarah-Anne Buckley, Dr Claire McGettrick & Professor Leanne McCormick and Professor James M. Smith. A particular thanks to Dr Jennifer O'Mahoney. Additional Research: Liam Costello Additional Interviews: Stephanie Lord Voice Actor: Therese Murray Sound: Sam Blanche and Dakota Venn Keane.

- Sonny and Terry shared the same heart. They died the same way. And there’s one other thing these two men shared: a wife. A heart transplant transforms Sonny Graham’s fate when he reaches out to the widow of his heart donor. What follows is trumpeted by local papers as a miraculous love story. But court filings expose a more troubled reality. Friends and family report a worrying change in Sonny. Then, he dies by suicide—the exact same fate, it turns out, as his heart donor, Terry Cottle. The families of the two men are suddenly bound together by disturbing questions. Others speculate that Sonny’s new heart might have been carrying Terry’s traumas. Are the two men’s deaths just a coincidence, or are there darker forces at work? Heart is an Apple Original podcast produced by Plan B and Blanchard House.

- A podcast blowing apart the historical canon, and delving into the stories, lives and beliefs the past tried to tidy away. Hosted by Dr Emma Nagouse (You’re Dead to Me, Homeschool History and MUSES with grammy-nominated Bastille) and medieval historian Dr Gillian Kenny (University College Dublin and Trinity College Dublin) History is full of people, moments, and ideas that have been quietly filed away, as too inconvenient, too strange, or simply too ordinary to make the official version. Unruly History opens those files. This is a brand new weekly podcast in which two historians make the case that what gets left out of the story is as revealing as what gets left in. And have a hell of a laugh along the way. "funny, irreverent, astounding... yet learned and deeply respectful" – Clodagh Finn, the Irish Examiner

- Join Vogue Williams & Joanne McNally for a weekly chat with 100% honesty guaranteed. "My Therapist Ghosted Me" is the result of Joanne's therapist doing just that! Ignoring her calls, refusing to answer the door at the clinic, or speak to her after she'd tracked him down at Enfield crematorium as he scattered his Aunt's ashes. Despite it all, it’s often said that friends give the best therapy so Vogue & Joanne have teamed up to do exactly that (alongside a generous helping of laughter as that too is said to be the best form of therapy). Together they will give 100% unqualified, unsubstantiated but up front and honest advice on the plethora of issues they and many others continue to grapple with.

- The aim of this weekly podcast is to make economics easy, uncomplicated and accessible. With the world at a political, technological and financial tipping point, economics has never been so important to all of us and yet, it’s made inaccessible and complicated by so many. I’ve always thought what is complicated is rarely important and what is important is rarely complicated. That will be our motto. Every week we are going to tease out some big economic or political issue facing us, not just here in Ireland but in Europe and further afield. Globalisation has brought us all together. We all face similar challenges whether you live in Dublin, London, Minnesota or Milan.
