Apologies for late posting of this episode in which Ciaran and Jim test the notion that the community based culture of our childhoods in London and Dublin have been destroyed and cannot be replaced.

there is also a little football.....

This week Ciaran and Jim take on the very difficult topic of the situation in Gaza but hopefully with a few new twists. Not lightweight in tone but it had to be done.

In this episode Jim recounts the trials and tribulations of a short trip to Berlin whilst Ciaran has some surprising revelations about Coors Lite and Palm Oil.

This week Jim interviews Professor Adrian Brady, late Consultant Radiologist at the Mercy University Hospital and past President and current Chairman of the European Society of Radiology.

He tells us what Radiology is about, how he chose it as his speciality and many other issuesw including clinical errors and medical training plus some rather pointed criticisms of the Irish Government..

This week Ciaran and Jim look into the topic of leadership in the public and private sectors. What is it, how do you do it and can everyone do it?

Also the first offerings in a new weekly segment which is our Moan and Moment of the week...who knew Ciaran was named after a storm?

And towards the end a stunningly accurate football prediction from Jim! (It was recorded on the morning of the game concerned)

APOLOGIES FOR THE LATE ARRIVAL OF THIS WEEK’S PODCAST. This week we are looking mainly at recent protests ion Dublin but also the general issue of whether all protests are permissible or should heads sometimes be cracked? We have NO FOOTBALL this week but we do have an excursion into Climate Change! Which is handy because this episode is late due to Storm Agnes.

This week Jim and Ciaran bang their heads against the brick wall of Northern Ireland and politics North and South. If you can't stand that, there's a review of Spurs V Sheffield Utd or Beauty and the Beasts, plus the ongoing story of Brianna Lily at the Races.

In this podcast Ciaran and Jim review why Governments seem destined to waste money, why they don't do something about it and are politicians, managers or voters to blame?

There is 5 minutes of football at the commencement as we deal with correspondence from our Fan Club...you can skip it if you must.

THIS WEEK CIARAN AND JIM DISCUSS A FEW OF THEIR LOVES AND A LOT OF THEIR HATES ABOUT MODERN FOOTBALL. SUPPORTER OR NOT YOU’LL FIND CONTROVERSY HERE....

Ciaran and Jim discuss the reasons for the decline in standards of public discourse and debate and what it might lead to...
