Irland – Populära podcasts

  • What makes you a heretic? Journalist Andrew Gold believes that, in an age of group-think and tribes, we need heretics - those who use unconventional wisdom to speak out against their own groups, from cancelled comedians and radical feminists to cult defectors and vigilantes hunting deviants.
    Learn from my guests how to rebel, think differently and resist social contagion. From Triggernometry's Francis Foster and the world's most cancelled man Graham Linehan to Robbie Williams and gender critical atheist Richard Dawkins. These are the people living with the weight of their own community's disappointment on their shoulders.

  • A new investigative series from the production team behind ‘Where Is George Gibney?’

    This new series will focus on another figure who lived a double life and was eventually forced to live under cover. And it’s a story, like the George Gibney one, that many would prefer was never told.

    So, from this point on, this feed will be renamed ‘Cover.’ Series 1 one of which was ‘Where Is George Gibney?’ and series 2 is Stakeknife.

    In Northern Ireland from 1978 to 1994, the IRA killed over 40 alleged informers; people accused of passing information to the police and the British Army. But the man who often found, tortured, and sometimes killed these men and women was himself an informer, a secret British Army Agent with the codename Stakeknife.

    Using secret recordings, reporter Mark Horgan traces the astonishing double life of Freddie Scappaticci. Why was he protected? How did he walk the tightrope between the IRA and British Army intelligence for so long and when murders, often of entirely innocent people, were sometimes allowed to take place despite state security force surveillance, who gets to play God?

    This series is about far more than just one man; it’s about the state structures that protected him. From the production team behind the international award-winning ‘Where Is George Gibney?’, Stakeknife tells the story of one of the most-contested and darkest episodes of the Troubles. When neither side wants the story of Stakeknife to come out, how does society try to reconcile the truth about what happened?

    You can continue to contact our production team about either series via our new email [email protected] and rest assured, any significant future movements in the story of George Gibney will also be covered right here. Talk to you again next week.

  • The Gambler is a new GoLoud Original from the team behind The Witness, journalist Nicola Tallant and producer Ian Maleney.

    How far can someone be pushed by their demons? How far will they go to cover their tracks? 

    A phone call from prison kicks off a journey into the darkest reaches of addiction, crime and deception – as reporters Nicola Tallant and Ian Maleney try to unravel the story of gambling addict and serial fraudster, Patrick Sheedy.

    The Gambler tells the fascinating, mysterious, and sometimes confusing tale of the convicted con man from Limerick, who used theft and fraud to fund a gambling addiction that spiraled out of control and consumed his life. 

    We meet Pat as he prepares to leave prison, vowing to leave his criminal past behind and ready to tell his story in a memoir that will be published to national acclaim.

    Over the course of eighteen months, Tallant and Maleney delve into every aspect of Sheedy’s story, from his early life in Limerick, to his descent into the world of crime, and his attempts to redeem himself and set right the wrongs of his past. They also meet some of his victims, and hear about the continuing impact of his crimes on their lives.

    The Gambler brings listeners on a deeply personal, riveting journey that explores crime, addiction, manipulation, guilt, and redemption. Over the course of eight episodes, The Gambler weaves interviews with Sheedy, his victims, and addiction experts through a rich and immersive soundscape to produce a stunning portrait of a life lived under the influence.

  • Welcome to No One Else Will Listen—where sisters Lottie and Bonnie Ryan turn their weekly FaceTime catch-ups into a podcast, because if they have to listen to each other’s nonsense, you might as well too. With Bonnie navigating life in New York and Lottie holding down the fort in Dublin, they cover the things you only talk about with your sister—because no one else will listen… and, let’s be honest, she doesn’t really have a choice.

    From chaotic life updates to deep (and occasionally questionable) chats, expect brutally honest takes, unfiltered oversharing, and a healthy dose of sibling bickering. Plus, they’ll be dishing out sisterly, and likely conflicting, advice to listeners.

    It’s messy, it’s real, and it’s the kind of conversations you’d never have in public—but your sister has to hear them.
