Pirate Predator tells the definitive story of Eamon Cooke, a man of many faces who, on one hand, became a cult like figure - filling a void for disillusioned youth through Radio Dublin in the 1970s and 1980s- while on the other became one of Ireland's most prolific child sexual abusers. Narrated by Peter Mulryan, who encountered Cooke in the 1980s, Pirate Predator uncovers the chilling true story of 'Captain Cooke' and how he used the cover of pirate radio to groom and abuse, hiding a decades-long reign of terror in plain sight.

The Plunketts are warriors. No death certificate?!? To think Elizabeth might not get some semblance of justice was infuriating. There’s nothing more effective than shaming all the departments involved - despite the passage of decades.
These RTÉ pods are my favorite.

I am loving these RTÉ podcasts (I’m American, had never heard of the station prior). They’ve become some of my favorite crime shows to date. The season on Samantha was my entry, followed by Carrie Jade - both are A+. I’m finishing up Where is Jón and will move on to season 5 after. Love the story telling on all! Enjoying Jón way more than I expected - really well done, and really like how the Icelandic and Irish teams are coming together! Looking forward to more and more.
Thorough and in depth

But there is this dog barking and car wash sound effect they use in the background that’s really distracting! Be mindful next time…
