JMCorkxxxx ,

Recognition episode

Good episode this week from both contributors.
Good to hear a wider perspective on recognition of Palestine as a State from Ivan- this is too complex an issue for the usual one-sided narratives we hear. Well done to Matt for a bit of straight talking also in relation to the immigration topic and calling out racism for what it is.

IrishMJM ,

I wait for this podcast to drop !

Loving the yin and yang of Matt and Ivan. The gloves off insights into Irish politics along with an Irish view of international affairs is what I want to listen to - and this podcast delivers in spades. More please !

Dirty nappy ,

Good insight

Episode 19: I wonder will Ivan be receiving a kick back cheque from the Chinese or will it paid through revolut.
