A Back Chat Trademark is the ability to evolve like the best conversations, moving from one topic to another, often entirely unrelated one.

This week's episode demonstrates this perfectly. Where else would you get talk about Frazier's Dad, the question of Jon Venebles identity and trying o understand the mind of a killer who is 10 years old. There's also the Educate Together situation and we discuss is it time to remove Religion from our Education System altogether.

Oh, and the Kardashians!

With Justin Collery , Andrew Holden & Jonathan Culleton

Can you be friends with someone who doesn't share your views on certain subjects? Is it time to stop talking about Gender? Has Broadcasting changed for ever? And which Reality TV Show is the one for you?

Find something you love to do and you'll never work a day in your life' is the saying, and I think this week's guests would probably agree. Unemployment and anger led one to set up the hugely successful Waterford Whispers News, and a love of cars has the other adding yet another string to his bow. In this week's episode ee're talking a potential General Election, Cars, the future of TV and more, on this week's Back Chat With Maria McCann

A lively debate took place on this week's episode of Back Chat. We discuss the continuing controversy of Sexual Harrasment allegations against high profle figures in Hollywood and Politics.
