Welcome to Andy McGibbons' Politics, Culture and some other shit Podcast. I mostly talk about the politics of Ireland, the northern bit in which I live and beyond. I cover international stories from an anti imperialist stance. I advocate for a New Ireland united and free. I also like to talk a bit about culture, I play in a band called The Bonnevilles and have toured our beautiful planet and in that touring have met and seen many wonderful things which I like to share.
First one back in a while. I look at Deepseek and Red Note and the many, many deep shitbergs they've created and its absolutely fucking precious.

Luigi Mangione murdered the CEO of a healthcare company and the lack of sympathy online may be an indictor of upcoming social change and more also Syrias governement has collapsed and Israel is occupying more of it also how Georgia, Romania and Ukraine are all connected and some other shit.
I get into the Maccabi Tel Aviv riots in Amsterdam and reveal some further developments then I have a fantastic coversation with my guest Seanán O Coistín, a translator, publisher and polyglot about the failings of the Belfast Agreeement. Seanán makes some wonderfully and incisive points and also offers solutions.

Delighted to get a chat with Gerry Carroll the People Before Profit MLA about his thoughts on the US election. Delighted to get to redeem myself after the first time I interviewed him and the audio didn't record, I done fucked it up. PLUS Maccabi Tel Aviv fans get a hiding in Amsterdam PLUS Shit-libs melt down is funny as fuck.
I talk with Páidí McNicholl , one of the lead campaigners with the Save Lough Neagh campaign about the current state of play with the Lough and Sundays marh for clean water in Belfast
Spotify is a vile thing but is there a solution? More Lough Neagh updates as my predictions come true, a look at Israeli terrorism and I make you endure a video of Ken O'Keefe having to sit through a disaster of an interview with reactionary James Whale and his girlfriend.
45 has the worlds worst hitmen queing up to plug him it would seem, I take a little look into who it was this time. Kier , Kier, Kier. Not happy with trying to freeze your granny to death the PM now expects everyone to be ok with a multi-millionaire public servant accepting bribes from a billionaire. All perfectly normal. Casement park, WTF is going on? and the other 9/11 The siege of Drogheda in 1649 by Oliver Cromwell. who is adored in England but HATED in Irlena dn and with good reason.

Delighted to get another opportunity to talk with Ben Collins after his impressive contribution at the Ireland Future event in Dublin last week and Ben has also just released his new book Irish Unity - Time To Prepare.

So it is and I think we'll continue to hear more of Ben's thoughts on the subject of a new Ireland.
