  • Jennie's Law: Amanda's Story
    Amanda shares her story of nearly nine years in an abusive relationship filled with violence, control, and addiction. Her ex had a history of violent convictions, struggled with gambling, drugs, and porn, and when he owed men money, they came to her door making threats. She stayed for years, fearing what would happen when she left, until she finally saw her chance to escape.

    Amanda is confident that if a law like Jennie’s Law had been in place, those ten years of her life would have looked very different.

  • Jennie's Law: Elma's Story
    In this episode of my four-part Jennie’s Law series, Elma shares her story of leaving an abusive marriage after years of mental abuse. She talks about her ex-partner’s alcoholism, the safety order she obtained, his breach and conviction, and why she believes it’s so important for anyone entering a relationship with him to know his history.

    Elma is now in a happy and peaceful relationship and hopes her story inspires other women in similar situations to leave and know that there is happiness after abuse.

    This is the final episode of Season 2.

  • Jennie's Law: Jennie's Story
    This episode is all about Jennie’s Law, the proposed legislation aimed at protecting people from entering relationships with partners who have a history of domestic violence. Approved by cabinet and now before the Dáil, the law is a vital step toward making dating safer, and we hope it will soon be signed into law.

    In this episode, Jason Poole, Jennifer Poole’s brother, shares her story and his fight for change. We discuss not only the law itself, but also the wider issues in tackling domestic violence and what still needs to be done. This is an important series for anyone dating, raising awareness and providing insight into the realities many people face.

  • Catfish in the Cockpit
    Dearbhaile matched with a man claiming to be an Aer Lingus pilot - he definitely was not a pilot but definitely was actually married with kids. For two weeks, he spoofed about his job, travels and life as a pilot, until Dearbhaile found out the truth and put the fear of God into him over text. A year later, he popped up on MY Tinder, this time photoshopping his head onto a pilot’s body. We chat through the full story, how it all unfolded, and share some tips on spotting red flags and making sure someone is who they say they are before meeting up.

  • Filthy John: Linda's Story - Part 2
    In this episode, we catch up with Linda, and a lot has changed. She’s not afraid of John anymore or the power he used to have over her. After the women connected, Monica set up a WhatsApp group so everyone could talk and support each other. But as more women joined, not everyone agreed with the mission, and things got a bit tense.

    When the last podcast aired, some nasty comments started popping up online, questioning how they could have stayed with him or given him money. But Linda’s not letting that get to her.

    She also talks about John's 'hacking' skills (or lack of), going to court with Monica to get protection from John, and shares more about what he stole from them, including some very intimate things, and gifted to the other ladies.
