  • Is there too much paperwork involved in a Catholic marriage?

    In this morning's Irish Independent, Brian W Higgins is arguing that there is too much paperwork involved in a Catholic wedding, and that all this red tape is putting people off and is actually contributing to the decrease in people choosing a Catholic wedding over a secular wedding…

    Is it true, should the Catholic Church reexamine how much paperwork is involved with the ceremony?

    Sara, Wedding Expert with ‘The Aisle’, has had her own experience with this and joins Seán to discuss.

  • World Conker Championships now at risk due to climate change!

    Nearly every day, you can learn of some new way climate change is impacting our lives. Today: it’s conkers. The World Conker Championships has been running for 60 years in the UK, raising over £400,000 for charity may not go ahead because of climate change…

  • Does Sydney Sweeney’s nude advert expose sexual hypocrisy?

    The actress Sydney Sweeney has come under fire for a recent advert she has taken part in, representing a sports gambling website, while only wearing sports equipment for clothes.

    This has particularly garnered negative attention from female athletes, who have said she has demanded and sexualised women's sports. Despite all of the lip service, sex still sells (at least to men) - which begs the question: is there some sexual hypocrisy at play?

    Nadia Adan, owner of Ashford Motors, joins Seán to discuss.

    While it’s impossible to pinpoint the exact causes of cancer, most of us know the basics when it comes to reducing our risk: eat plenty of fruit and vegetables, exercise regularly, stop smoking, wear sunscreen...

    But recent research is suggesting that there are other habits that might reduce our cancer risk. So, what are these habits?

    Joining Seán to discuss is Consultant Oncologist, Professor of Nutrition and author of ‘Keep Healthy.com’, Professor Robert Thomas…

  • How do you ‘hyper-decant’ red wine?

    If you open a young bottle of wine, the general advice is to put it in a decanter. Some people are taking this to an extreme with ‘hyper-decanting’ - which includes putting wine in a blender! So, how does it all work?

    John Wilson, wine critic and contributor to the Irish Times joins Seán to discuss.

  • Why is Canada taking a pivot to Europe?

    People are often baffled as to why countries not in Europe join Eurovision, including Canada, who will be taking part in the competition from 2027. That’s not all, with Canada and US relations not being as strong, it seems like Canada is looking towards the EU for a stronger relationship…

    Graham Finlay, Lecturer in the School of Politics and International Relations, University College Dublin joins Seán to discuss.
