Customer Reviews
Other views
Could really do with a different point of view from the US besides that left wing Niall Stanage. He mentions irrelevant news about Congresswomen Bobert and the comments she made about congresswoman Omar, but failed to mention the daily anti-semitism spewing from Omar’s disgusting hateful mouth.
Good content
Interesting guests and an attempt at an earnest discussion with the intent of informing rather than titillating.
Thank you
It is always a pleasure to hear the podcast.
Keeps me up to date with the Irish angles so far from home.
