This week Carl Kinsella and I discuss the continued atrocities in Gaza but also hope that the tide is turning as the world makes it clear that it will not accept Israel's continued actions. We also discuss the floods in Ireland and a law change which will make offences like stalking more clearcut and easier to prosecute and punish.
I chat to Tammy Darcey about her non-profit organisation The Shona Project. She tells us about her sister Shona who the project is named after, as well as what motivates her to work toward empowering young women in Ireland.
Cassie Delaney and I talk about the sad loss of Matthew Perry as well as our take on some of this year's celebrity Halloween costumes and lots more besides.
