    Does it contain anything we havent heard 100 times already?

    This podcast has almost fallen off my radar. The same **** discussed by the same people, over and over again.

    Yawn.

    I tend to agree. I've found I've been listening to it less and less, with the exception of Niall Stanage...

    Sheds light on how the criminal system works in France; how the family of the bereaved have far more power than they do in Ireland.

    'Brexit boy' is terrible! He got another guy on who is anti brexit and that was a nice change. Bertie was excellent but can't bring him on too often. It's probably tough to rotate many guests but its required to keep it fresh.

    He'd nearly be better cutting back on the amount of episodes

    The issue isn't so much the same guests, it's the same guests talking about the same thing each time that grates...

    I agree. A lot of podcasts have the same guests however a lot of Dunphys podcasts have very little new information about a topic and simply go over the same details multiple times. I listen to very few of the episodes now due to the above.

    It's funny when Johnny Giles goes on about some random player for 60 years ago. His analysis is all about the players, not the tactics or ways of playing.

    Having visited several Jewish museums in Poland, and Auschwitz, in the past year and learnt about the extirpation of entire villages, towns and cities of its Jewish population as recently as 75 years ago it's uniquely harrowing. All those photographs of vibrant communities and evidence of community life and in the space of a few years those centuries-old communities are exterminated forever. Some 3 million Jews, half of all Jews killed in the Holocaust, were Polish Jews.

    Giles is long past it as an analyst.

    I know, i mean, it's hard not to have love for the man. He is a legend. But the game is so far past his experience of it, it's getting a bit tedious listening to his analysis when there is such a plethora of in-depth analysis available. If Eamon wants to keep giving him a slot, he shouldn't be on his own with him.

    Yeah, very true. I think he is taking the sports journalism model and it isn't fitting fully with issues like Brexit. It's easy to look at sport with the same people as there is always something new to talk about, even if its done in a similar way. A lot of the current affairs guests are one-trick ponies, very interesting for one interview but have nothing additional to add. Topics like Brexit need a versatile political commentator who can give additional insight as the issue develops, not a vested interest who is good for one interview.

    Interesting pod with Nicola Tallant re. cocaine use in Ireland. Eamon was pretty open about his use of cocaine towards the end too...

    He's too old school. You can get quality stuff off the darkweb.

    To be fair, he did admit as such in podcast, and said Gerry Ryan's death was a part of why he stopped.

    He sounded a little ridiculous going on about students celebrating exams by smoking “skunk” ..... and asking if there is heroin in crystal meth.... not the greatest conversation on drug use.....also: Johnny Gyles getting a little tetchy on the last football podcast

    That Brendan O'Neill is a hard listen. Yes he makes some good and valid points, and I say that as someone who thinks Brexit was a monumentally bad decision (in spite of the many valid criticisms you can label at the EU), and has morphed into the biggest political car crash in modern history, anywhere in the world.
    He just refuses to see any of the obvious problems with it, or refuses to acknowledge them if he is seeing them. This one eyed myopia renders his opinion on the debate redundant in my view.
    He just repeats the same nonsense over and over, always referring back to the fact 'it was the biggest vote in British history' etc etc without ever even addressing the caveats behind that.
    He probably warranted a couple of interviews at best, but to be a regular contributor is something that's just not warranted.

    His Wikipedia page is an eye-opener,to day the least. The history of Spiked magazine and the involvement of it's contributors in the Revolutionary Communist Party makes for grimly fascinating reading: https://medium.com/@JRogan3000/spiked-online-ireland-and-brexit-767562a2fcc7

    I enjoy this podcast in general but seeing that name next to an episode,nope,no interest.
