Did you know that vaccines are cool, fashionable and sexy and that the people who take them are also cool, fashionable and sexy? That’s just science, baby.

Joining us this week to chat about vaccines and the role science plays in the betterment of humanity is Professor Luke O'Neill.

Trump is leaving DC this morning on Air Force One, before the inauguration, like the big fu***ng spoiled toddler that he is. But did you know that when Obama flew home on the same plane, it wasn't Air Force One, because he was no longer president?

Everyone’s all coup this, and COVID that. What about Brexit, you guys?

Jazza and Jimmy, from the Right Dishonourable Podcast, huddle with Steve and Richie around the dumpster fire that is politics in 2021. They discuss the UK’s long-anticipated departure from the EU and what might be next on the horizon (spoiler: it's not hope).

And to provide the often overlooked, but equally important, Northern Irish perspective is political commentator Sarah Creighton

It is legal for a student to carry a loaded gun into a Texas college classroom. However, if that same student came to class carrying a d***o they would be breaking state obscenity laws. This week Steve and Richie give you the low down on the state of gun control in the US before chatting with Jessica Jin from C***s Not Glocks about this absurdity.

Diversity in politics. Political correctness. Societal pressure to enjoy Marvel movies. We discuss these big issues, and more, with the charming AlexReads and Rai Rafiq of the Mostly Lit podcast.

You know the way if you repeat the same word incessantly, it begins to have no meaning? Well, that's how it feels with the not-really-a-word-anyway; Brexit.

So to mark one year since the triggering of Article 50, and our first dedicated episode covering the UK leaving the EU, we thought we'd give everyone what we know they want... More bloody Brexit!

We asked the UK based duo from The Right Dishonourable podcast to help us guide us through the lows and the... lower lows of Brexit: Part Deux.

Politicians are people too. It’s easy to forget that, especially when the misdeeds of a couple of bad apples dominate public perception. This week, Steve and Richie sit down with one of the good ones, Kate O'Connell TD from Fine Gael.

This USB key contains a lovely interview we just had. This glass contains a lovely pint of Guinness that Richie is about to have. We hope your Saturday is just as lovely as both these things.

You guys, political corruption is soooo hot right now.

Thanks to Donald J. Trump, federal government investigations may seem like a trendy news story, but he is far from the first of his kind. This week, Steve teaches Richie about the original bad boy of American politics and the story of his fall from grace.

What am Love? (Baby don't hurt me, Don't hurt me, No more)

It’s Valentine’s Day and we thought we’d ask the question that lies in everyone’s hearts; What am Love? To answer, we asked veteran podcaster, actor, comedian and all round wonderful human being, Erin McGathy, to join us in untangling the riddle that has stumped William Shakespeare, Jane Austen and Hugh Grant.

WARNING: We may not in fact come close to answering this question, but we sure had a lot of fun in the attempt!
