January 16, 2025 FOUR MORE YEARS: Scott Lucas.
As Donald Trump is inaugurated as the next president of the United States, we look at what the world can expect. Will Trump 2.0 differ greatly from first time around and if so will it be more dangerous? Will this country get caught in the spokes of his apparently free wheeling plans? Joining the podcast to map out the road ahead is Scott Lucas, Professor of US politics at UCD.

January 10, 2025 ALWAYS TAKE THE WEATHER: Alan O’Reilly
Carlow Weather is a twitter handle that many might be aware of as a place to go for a usually on-the-ball weather forecast. Its operator Alan O’Reilly is now probably one of the best forecasters in the country albeit one who is not a meteorologist. So how does he do it? When did he start? And what kind of a Summer can we expect before rooting around in the attic for the oul buckets and spades. Alan O’Reilly is this week’s guest on the podcast.

January 02, 2025 FOR WHOM DOES PRISON WORK? Ann Murphy
The issue of whether prison does what it was designed to do has been popping up regularly in recent years. Does it work? Does it provide rehabilitation? Are we imprisoning too many or for crimes that don’t merit such a penalty. Irish Examiner investigative reporter Ann Murphy has looked at one case of a man who has over 500 convictions and who has been in and out of the system for decades. She also examines the bigger questions in relation to penal policy in this country. Ann Murphy is this week’s guest on the podcast.

December 19, 2024 HOME THOUGHTS FROM ABROAD: Colin Sheridan.
Tis the season to huddle around family, friends and community, but what of those who are exiled far from home? Many Irish people spend Christmas overseas, some by choice, others through necessity, but one group do so in the interests of keeping peace. Ireland’s defence forces personnel are based in various hotspots, but particularly the Middle East. So what is Christmas like for them, and their families at home? Irish Examiner columnist Colin Sheridan has extensive experience serving overseas and he tells us what it’s like at this time of year.

December 12, 2024 TRACING THE TRUTH: Ciaran Prior
From an early age Ciaran Prior was exposed to the spectre of premature death but once he joined An Garda Siochana it became part of his job. Mid career Ciaran became a member of the first regional crime scene investigation units and in that capacity he became a frequent sight at scenes of serious crimes including murder. His book Traces Of Truth is both a police procedural and a personal reflection of his life, and on life and death in general. Ciaran Prior is this week’s guest on the podcast.
