    1410. Beating the Billionaire Broligarchy

    Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack While the billionaire class rushed to bend the knee to Trump 2.0, another group of gatherings were happening across the world. Andrew Karamagi is a community organiser, lawyer, and principal political advisor to the Fight Inequality Alliance (fightinequality.org) and he joins us from one such gathering in Kenya. He outlines the negative political, societal and economic impacts the billionaire class are having on people’s lives and how we need to stop rewarding the arsonist with lucrative contracts to put out fires. The biggest danger to societal stability is inequality and it's time to give the red line to billionaires.

    Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this PalCast episode BAFTA and Emmy award winning filmmaker, Yousef Hammash joins us to discuss his work during the genocide in Gaza, the role of storytelling in informing the world and how, on the day that Dr Refaat Alareer's body was given a proper burial, the Palestinian people will persevere despite the absolute madness coming out of Donald Trump. This is Gaza. They aren't leaving.

    1413. I Was Always Me with Jenny Maguire

    Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack Jenny Maguire's journey to becoming Students Union President of Trinity College Dublin was far from ordinary. From attending an all-boys school, to running (unsuccessfully) for class president, to finding out that what may seem like setbacks at the time, were really only opportunities for her to grow and learn. It was a pleasure to chat with her and, as an old foggy who thinks that he knows it all, realise that I can still learn something. Enjoy.

    48. Gaza – The Returning

    Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this PalCast, Yousef and Tony are joined by special guest, Gazan Political Analyst and Advocate, Muhammad Shehada. They discuss the return of over a million people to their destroyed homes in the north of Gaza, Trumps plan for ethnic cleansing, the arrest of Electronic Intifada's Ali Abunimah and yes, even the ridiculous “condoms for Gaza” story. As always, Muhammad is erudite, concise and historically honest in his analysis.

    1406. The Bike Shed Economy

    Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack Poverty Pay on the Government Payroll In this Echo Chamber Pod we are joined by national organiser with the Independent Workers Union (https://www.union.ie/) Alex Homits, to discuss how the State and many State services are currently outsourced to largely untaxed and unaccountable companies at a cost of tens of millions to us and very much to the detriment of workers. This is an eye-opening conversation about how "middle-man" Ireland works against workers. Please give it a listen.

    Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this podcast we are joined by two-term Senator (looking to be reelected on the NUI Panel) Alice-Mary Higgins. We talk about her work in scrutinising, amending and improving legislation, her determination to put society and environment before market interests in our political decision making process and her ambition to work for better international outcomes in a world that seems to be moving towards militarism. Vote for her ASAP if you can. (Yes, the Seanad is anti-democratic) The TCD SU President, Jenny Maguire podcast is out now here:https://www.patreon.com/posts/patron-exclusive-120571174

    Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack In this podcast housing expert and lecturer, Dr Lorcan Sirr, joins us to talk about the housing bubble in the affordable housing market, the issue of homelessness as an acceptable feature (and not a bug) of the current market and so much more. I'd argue this is as good a 'The State of Housing Going Into 2025' chat as you'll hear anywhere. Please listen.
