Trump has been banned from Twitter! As a podcast centered around Twitter, we'd be amiss if we didn't dedicate a bonus episode to this momentous occasion! We break down what actually happened and what it could potentially mean for the platform moving forward. Seán explains exactly why Trump was taken off Twitter and what rules he broke. Cormac announces the arrival of a new Irish force in journalism as a result and Fearghal checks out the reactions to it on Twitter and asks could large social media platforms have done more, sooner?

We dedicate this week's episode to one of the biggest Irish Twitter trends of the year... The Late Late Toy Show. One night a year an Irish talk show turns into a toy exhibition with children running amuck and toying with poor presenter Ryan Tubridy. We have a laugh chatting about Irish Twitter's reactions to the kids, Ryan, and the madness that is the Late Late Toy Show.

Only one trend has absolutely dominated Twitter this week; the US Presidential Election. Fearghal, Cormac, and Seán spent the episode diving into Twitter's reaction into Trump vs Biden and the potential fallout. We have a laugh chatting about the ridiculousness of Trump's reaction, his opposition to votes actually being counted, and the funniest related tweets we could find!

The US Election has really shown us the best and worst Twitter has to offer us as a platform.
