From working as a telephonist in Galway in the late 1970s, where she answered a bomb threat during the Troubles and climbed onto the roof of the telephone exchange to watch Pope John Paul II bless them from his helicopter, to raising three sons in Boyle, joining the Moylurg Writers Group and discovering she could write, and travelling to Bosnia in 1994 with 26 suitcases of aid during the war.

Send us Fan MailEp 89---Carlo sits down with David McGee, a young man from Boyle who has quietly built one of the most niche and impressive YouTube channels in Ireland. Blue Star Line, his channel dedicated to historically accurate 3D ship animations, has over 127,000 subscribers and a single video with close to 7 million views.David talks about growing up beside the boys school in Boyle, his grandfather Dick McGee's influence on his love of photography and storytelling, making short films on a Nintendo 3DS, his obsession with the Titanic since the age of four or five, and how a school musical called All Shook Up set him on the path to technical production. He also covers commissions from Italian documentary companies, drone footage of the hot air balloons at Lough Key that went viral, working on the film "Ann" in Boyle, and what it takes to render a 20-minute animation that can take a month to produce.

Meghan's guest this week is British journalist and author Brendan O'Neill, chief political writer at Spiked and author of Vibe Shift: The Revolt Against Wokeness, Greenism and Technocracy. Brendan talks about what he sees as a growing "vibe shift" away from elite consensus and toward something like common sense—though not without its own distortions. He and Meghan discuss the UK's role in pushing back on gender ideology (aka "TERF Island"), the uneasy state of free speech on both sides of the Atlantic, and why ordinary people seemed to tolerate cultural excesses until they suddenly didn't. They also touch on the rise of unserious, meme-driven politics, the infantilization of public discourse (with Greta Thunberg as an emblematic if also profoundly dysfunctional figure), and the strange convergence of hectoring moralism on one side and gleeful nihilism on the other. Finally, Brendan reflects on his own journey from revolutionary communist to free speech absolutist, and why he thinks we may be inching slowly back toward a politics grounded less in identity and more in reality. Guest Bio; Brendan O'Neill is the chief political writer at Spiked and host of The Brendan O'Neill Show. He's also the author of several books, including Anti-Woke, A Duty to Offend, A Heretic's Manifesto, and most recently, Vibe Shift: The Revolt Against Wokeness, Greenism and Technocracy.

After nearly two decades away from the album format that first defined them, The Format have reemerged not as a nostalgia act, but as a fully revitalized creative force. With the release of Boycott Heaven on January 23, 2026 via The Vanity Label, the duo of Nate Ruess and Sam Means have delivered a record that feels both rooted in their past and sharply attuned to the present. We can sincerely say it's our album of the year and nothing else that gets shared this year will even come close.Produced by Brendan O'Brien, whose résumé includes work with Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, and The Killers, Boycott Heaven carries a weight and polish that elevates everything they've done in the past. With O'Brien also contributing on bass and Matt Chamberlain on drums, the album leans into alt-rock grit, power-pop immediacy, and a touch of grunge spirit, the same sonic DNA that first bonded Ruess and Means as teenagers in Arizona.

Send us Fan MailEp 87---In towns like Boyle, a post office was never just a place to buy stamps or send parcels. It was where news arrived before phones ever rang, where pensions were collected with a handshake and a chat, and where generations crossed the same threshold week after week. The red brick building on Shop Street stood quietly at the centre of it all, watching the town change while somehow staying the same.For decades, people stepped inside carrying letters, savings books, worries, and good news. Behind the counter for the past few decades stood a familiar face who saw Boyle through its busiest days and its quietest moments, through the shift from handwritten envelopes to digital screens, from queues at the counter to a changing world outside the door.Today both Florence and I are sitting down with the last postmaster of the old Post Office, Paul Forde. This is a conversation about community, memory, and a place that meant far more than its walls ever suggested. Because when a post office leaves a building like that, it's not just a relocation. It marks the end of an era in the life of the town.You're very welcome to the Voices of Boyle. This is episode 87 with Paul Forde.

Brendan O’Connell recounts his history as a political activist who faced imprisonment and censorship for investigating Israeli intelligence and high-technology contracts. He describes a global power struggle competing for control over humanity through advanced AI and data collection. O’Connell argues Israel functions as a primary hub for the technological infrastructure used for global surveillance, including quantum computing and AI. He rejects the likelihood of a third world war, viewing current geopolitical tensions as manufactured narratives designed to maintain public anxiety. He concludes by urging listeners to move beyond online discourse and engage in direct political lobbying of military and government agencies to reclaim sovereignty from these technocratic systems.

In this conversation, Brendan O'Neill joins John to discuss the global reaction to October 7 and what it reveals about the state of Western culture. They examine why protests and activism erupted across university campuses, how narratives about Israel spread rapidly through Western institutions, and why many of these institutions appeared to respond with hostility rather than solidarity.The discussion also explores the role of identity politics, social media, and shifting cultural attitudes in shaping Western democracies. O'Neill suggests that these reactions reflect a deeper loss of confidence within Western institutions in their own values and historical foundations. This is a thoughtful conversation that sheds light on the prevalence of anti-Semitism in the West.Brendan O'Neill is chief political writer and former editor of Spiked. He also a writes for TheAustralian and numerous other newspapers and magazines. His most recent book is After thePogrom: 7 October, Israel and the Crisis of Civilisation.

Brendan O'Neill, author and writer for Spiked Online, and Suella Braverman, Reform spokeswoman for education, skills and equalities, come on The Julia Hartley-Brewer Show to discuss the war on woke and Reform UK's new ‘shadow cabinet'. Reform UK announced the first four members of their ‘shadow cabinet': the spokespeople for various ministerial roles that would make up Reform's cabinet if they get into power. Zia Yusuf was announced as ‘shadow home secretary',Richard Tice was announced as business, trade and energy spokesman and would be deputy PM, Robert Jenrick was announced as ‘shadow chancellor of the exchequer', And Suella Braverman was announced as education, skills and equalities spokeswoman. She vowed to repeal the Equality Act and stop schools from creating the ‘next generation of eco-zealots'. Brendan O'Neill has just written a book - Vibe Shift - that outlines how ordinary, working class people have fought against the out-of-touch political, media and business classes to rally against woke-ism on climate, Brexit, and transgenderism. Also: Labour's U-turn on council elections, as they announced 30 council elections would go ahead in May. Steve Reed, minister for local government, had previously sought to delay them as authorities were reorganised. But there was public outcry, as democracy would have been denied for over four million people. Reform were polling well in many of the districts that were going to have their vote denied. And how the ECHR could be used to enable family members of Gazan refugees to come to Britain. Julia Hartley-Brewer broadcasts on Talk from Monday to Thursday, 10AM to 1PM.

From the show on Wednesday, Julia Hartley-Brewer spoke to Brendan O'Neill, chief political writer at Spiked Online, and Baroness Kate Hoey, independent peer. Brendan O'Neill reacts to Donald Trump saying Britain needs “straightening out” and that “London is having a lot of problems”. Brendan also says that Trump's threats to take Greenland have prompted hypocritical criticism from the EU. Donald Trump joined other world leaders at Davos, Switzerland later in the day. Keir Starmer didn't attend. Also: Baroness Kate Hoey says she is not the figure currently rumoured to defect to Reform UK - and she discusses local elections being cancelled, the Chinese super-embassy, and the rising numbers of people who are on benefits without the requirement to look for work.

Brendan O'Neill, chief political writer at Spiked Online, discusses another government U-turn with Julia - this time on the introduction of mandatory digital ID. Rights campaigners have long criticised digital ID as a dangerous infringement on British people's right to privacy. Previously, Keir Starmer's government argued it would help reduce migration. It was intended to prevent illegal migrants from working on the black market, but politicians and campaigners questioned whether the ID would act as a successful deterrent. And it was estimated to cost £1.8 billion over three years.Also: Julia and Brendan discuss why Labour have U-turned on so many policies, the Jewish MP stopped from visiting a primary school visit by pro-Palestinian activists, the Maccabi Tel Aviv fan ban for a Europa League game against Aston Villa, and why pro-Palestinian activists have been silent on anti-regime protests in Iran.
