Rejoining us on the podcast is listener favourite, Prof Richard Murphy. He's is feisty form as he outlines the societal challenges and the economic realities facing the UK, as well as the political and financial options available to the soon-to-be new Prime Minister, Keir Starmer.

Richard also defends himself from the people who claim that his criticism of Labour's lack of ambition is a defence of the terrible Tories.

This is a bumper podcast on everything we know so far on the results of the Local and European Elections. Joining us to break it down is the best in the biz (and massive Carly Rae Jepsen fan) Mr irishelectionprojections.com, Harry McEvansoneya. Buckle up. It is getting bumpy.

No current RTE bogus self employed employee has been allowed to speak publicly. Unions refuse to have their voices heard, mainstream media is terrified of RTE and even the Oireachtas has been told by shadowy legal figures to ensure the bogus self employed workers get no voice. Only the Echo Chambers Podcast will give voice to these workers who have had their pensions and entitlements stolen by RTE for decades. This is on of those voices

When creating inclusive and representative democracy we need to assess how we use language and how language is set in a broader context of democracy and hierarchy.

Last night we managed to get a connection with Dr Musallam Abukhalil in the medical shelter where he works with his colleagues and the volunteers with Dignity for Palestine. Joining us also as we talk about how things are right now on the ground in Gaza and the immense suffering of thousands of displaced people is artist (who is now raising money for Dignity for Palestine) Adam SpiceBag Doyle.

I was meant to have a short chat with PBP Local Election candidate and disability rights activist, Bernard Mulvaney about the campaign and what he's heating on the doors, but it went in a few other directions, including what happened when he campaigned against the PBP position on the recent Care Referendum. A very interesting insight into internal party politics, so here it is in full.

How the voting goes for Ireland South MEP candidates is arguably the best barometer for where the electorate is currently. You have proper hard left eco-socialists and far right nutters. So here's our breakdown of the constituency that has more (good and bad) choices than an all you can eat breakfast buffet.

Close friend, Musician and Singer Songwriter Colm Quearney brings Sparky and Dean a bag of fresh chips and sits down for warm chat about the importance of music, family and friendships. He gets honest about how therapy helped him figure out what's important in his life and tells about some of the exciting projects he has cooking.

The Israeli ban of Aljazeera is just another example of how, as our returning guest, journalist Mahmoud Mushtaha, puts it, they want the Palestinians to die silently.

Mahmoud talks about the latest developments in Gaza and the deeply disingenuous way the ceasefire talks have been covered and reported on.

The Polls have thrown up some data that if accurate would make the idea of a Left government less than a pipedream. So we needed to talk with the font of wisdom and non-panic-ness, Mr irishelectionprojections.com, Harry McEvansoneya.

I'm not sure it helped.
