Carl Kinsella and I start this week's news episode with some heavy moustache discourse triggered by some personal devlopments in Carl's life, but then we get into the meaty stuff. Carl catches us up on what's been going on in Palestine, both in Gaza and the West Bank, we discuss the protests around Dundrum House in Tipperary, fake news, Ticketmaster scandals and I have a lot to say about anti-fat discrimination.
