The worst referendum defeat in the history of the Irish state; the real power of the NGOs is the false belief that they're representative organisations; and did Ministers lie to the public about the legal advice they had recieved.

In a special reaction episode, John and Sarah analyse the Government's crushing defeat in the referendums on the 39th and 40th amendments. Their takeaway? "A lot of people who felt very alone now know that they're not the ones in the minority at all".

John and Sarah discuss the Government's new sex education reforms, including the new gingerbread person. Also: Final referendum predictions, Sinn Fein's continuing woes, and the Government, if it will do nothing else for us, will at least kill us off before the end.

The end of two pointless referendums draws near, but there's still enough time left for people to embarrass themselves; and the arguments against marriage are poisonous.

A reminder that smokers are the real heroes; the unimportance of democratic norms; and more polls.

In this week's edition, John and Sarah discuss being male, pale, and stale, per an FG MEP, as well as the mounting Children's hospital disaster, Simon Harris's latest bright idea, and Michael McDowell's palpable fury over Government misinformation in the referendum campaign.

The semi-state formerly known as the NWCI; and we finally have detailed polling on immigration - turns out people have some concerns.

John and Sarah discuss the funding of the National Women’s Council of Ireland, which Sarah insists doesn’t represent her. Also: The Sinn Fein polling slump is real, Euthanasia breaks new frontiers in Holland, and Joe Biden is now talking to the dead.
