June 12, 2025 THE FORGOTTEN PEOPLE: Fintan Drury.
As the destruction of Gaza by Israeli defence forces continues, bigger questions about how the world got to this point have gone unanswered. The plight of the Palestinian people has long been the issue that much of the west simply doesn’t want to know about. Businessman, author and migration activist Fintan Drury has written a book that melds history with polemic into a compelling narrative. Catastrophe – Nakba II is a timely examination of an issue that is turning into a major indictment of the west. Fintan Drury is this week’s guest on the podcast.

June 06, 2025 MURDER SUICIDE REVIEW: Jacqueline Connolly
In 2016 Alan Hawe murdered his wife Clodagh and their three children. The subsequent garda investigation was found to be deficient in a number of respects. Clodagh’s sister Jacqueline and their mother Mary pushed for a proper investigation. That was conducted but never published. Jacqueline, who wrote her memoir Deadly Silence on the case, believes it should be published in order to prevent any similar tragedies occurring in the future. Jacqueline is this week’s guest on the podcast.

May 29, 2025 THE UNFINISHED HEIST: Glenn Patterson
The robbery of the Northern Bank in Belfast in December 2004 was both a criminal act and, most observors believe, a political act as it as carried out by the Provisional IRA at a time when Sinn Fein was negotiating on the basis that violent and criminal acts by the Provos were at an end. Acclaimed writer Glenn Patterson was in the city centre on the night it happened. His latest book The Northern Bank Job – The Heist and How they got away it is both a cracking read and a historical document of note. Glenn is this week’s guest on the podcast.
