I bet you thought that was the end of ‘Splainin’ – but here we are! After several weeks of silence it was nice to strap the old headphones on. In this episode I get a little chatty about recent events which kept me away from ‘castin’ and we get a little bit fierce with the …

So we celebrated a holiday! Well, maybe you did. I actually didn’t. But it’s a strange day to commemorate a guy who wasn’t actually Irish and everyone tries to express what Irishness means with varying success of accuracy. I always resented St. Patrick’s Day because it took the attention away from the best day of …

This week we bring you a panel discussion entitled, ‘To the Daring Belongs the Future: Women, Anarchism, Feminism, and Ireland’ from the Belfast Anarchist Bookfair, held a couple of weeks back. I was honoured to take part and blather on about crap I think about. Apologies for using the word ‘maddening’ so much. Thanks to …

Back again with a more or less random assortment of songs that caught my ear this week! Don’t forget to STRIKE if you’re in Ireland for the 8th of March! And also check out a special edition of ‘Splainin’ over on Dublin Digital Radio’s mixcloud on that day. For now, let’s get to la musique! …

This show is the least Christmassy thing that ever was! Yayyyyy! I’m pretty sure this show captures my week. It featured a lot of vomit, blood, sweat, and actually, there were no tears. Well, unless you count that really sad film I watched yesterday. In which case, there were tears! I literally thought I was …

Not my favourite time of year by any stretch, but here are some songs — some of which have to do with Christmas, December, snow, and the cold. Track list: Wonderful world of Joey – What Sweet Child o’ Mine Melt Yourself Down – Fix My Life (whoops – got the band/title backwards when I …
