First recorded October 2020

On the 10th of February 2021 the HHCRO Bill 2017 came into legal effect. While many campaigners advocated for legislative change on the issue of online abuses throughout the years, it seemed the Irish government finally listened to valid public concerns after a massive leaking of non-consensual images was discovered towards the end of 2021 by activists.

In this episode Ciara and Ronan discuss in heavy detail the issue of IBSA (Image Based Sexual Abuse), TFSV (Technological Facilitated Sexual Violence) and sexual violence in a digital age in Ireland

Samhain 2020 Special (Recorded remotely through the internet due to lockdown, but Ronan and Ciara make it work).

In this part, we discuss the haunting tales of two famous ghost ships. Terribly timed segues, mouldy bowls and bigger than the giant squid.

(Explicit/NSFW. 18+. All views expressed are those of the individual.)

The pilot episode of Openly Related To.....

Ciara and Ronan discuss GolfGate, WAP, and go on several tangents.

Sound is unedited because we're still ironing out the kinks but next episode's sound quality will be mint crisp hopefully.
