Nialler9The fandom and community of SwiftogeddenThe Fandom of Taylor Swift is something that I find so fascinating, particularly the massive surge in popularity in the last 3 or 4 years.
Where Taylor couldn’t sell out Croke Park in 2018 on her Reputations tour, her current Eras tour as we’ve discussed before on the podcast, crashed Ticketmaster and has seen such a huge unprecedented demand that that’s worth exploring why?
With the three Dublin gigs at the Aviva next summer and the Taylor Swift Eras Tour film doing big numbers at the box office, it felt like the right time t...

Not in HeavenIsrael Is So BasicOver 110,000 protestors packed Tel Aviv’s city centre, in one of the country’s largest anti-government protests in the past decade. They were rallying against the newly elected, right-wing government’s proposals to overhaul the Israeli judicial system. The reforms, introduced by Justice Minister Yariv Levin, could shift a significant amount of power from the courts to the legislature and preclude any law passed by the Knesset from being challenged in Israel’s High Court. These changes are designed, according to Levin, to rein in an activist court that for too long has subverted the democratic will of the Israeli...

We touch on Rachael's stage school stint, the universality of trolling and the parallels of Meghan & the "firm" and the modern workplace. We also talk the overnight decline of DVDs & CDs (RIP bonus features) & the mood lifting magic of those post-lockdown plans- whenever that may be- the extravagant and the banal!Reading
