This week on Read The Room Maia & Paddy share stories of those little white lies we were all told as children, some of which were just for a bit of craic, whereas others scarred for life!

In this week's episode Maia and Paddy ponder why are some people so upset that they can't just say whatever they want. We call them the "You Can't Say Anything Anymore Brigade" and man* are they attached to their racist, able-ist and sexist terms.
