DO NOT WORRY IT IS NOT FRIDAY! You did not sleep through Thursday, I'm just bringing you the episode a day early this week as I'm on the road to Other Voices.
I thought it was important that we talk about what happened last week, and I hope you find this episode useful. Carl Kinsella and I chat through what happened and where things stand now as well as the rest of the week's news. I talk to artist Spicebag about the context of the riots and why the Far Right are managing to appeal to so many people in Ireland. Then, James O'Hagan and I have an absolute ball chatting about this week's showbiz and culture news.
Come and see me at the Everyman in Cork on St. Brigid's Day!
