We took economics to a music festival, and somehow packed the tent. In this Electric Picnic highlights episode from Mindfield, we rock up bleary-eyed and buzzing, then dive straight into the big stuff: what Trump's assault on America's institutions means for money, markets, and the rest of us. We map the new super-cycle from post-war social democracy to Reagan-Thatcher finance, to today's populist reboot, and why we think the US is flirting with a fiscal, monetary, and dollar crunch. Closer to home, we ask why Ireland looks rich on paper but feels poor in reality. In between, we tell the story of the 1992 currency crisis, a lo-fi mission to the Dorchester, and accidentally swapping the Central Bank for UBS and because we were literally in a field surrounded by stages, we tackle the music economy: streaming's winner-takes-all logic, Daniel Ek's “music costs almost zero,” algorithms that feed nostalgia over novelty, and why culture only renews when the young can afford to create. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

We've a special live episode of the podcast for you today, a wide-ranging chat with actor, writer, presenter and mother of five Rosie O'Donnell at The Electric Picnic.

Star of The Flintstones, Sleepless in Seattle and A League of Their Own, the former talk show queen also talks about how she has lost some Jewish friends by speaking out about the genocide in Gaza and why she's so happy to have made Ireland her home. But first, Irish Times Opinion Editor Jennifer O'Connell is here to talk about the biggest stories of the week for women, including the devastating earthquake in Taliban-controlled Afghanistan.

Rinneadh físeáin agus pictiúir de Kitty O'Brien go forleathan ar na meáin shóisialta agus í mbun agóide le Irish Bloc Berlin, grúpa a sheasann i gcoinne an chinedhíothaithe sa Phalaistín.

Fágadh í le lámh bhriste agus aghaidh lán fola. Ní hé seo an chéad choimhlint idir póilíní agus agóideoirí síochánta i mBeirlín. Cuireadh cosc ar theangacha cé is moite den Ghearmáinis agus den Bhéarla ag agóidí anuraidh, agus gabhadh fear amháin i mí Aibreáin a bhí ag labhairt Gaeilge.Tá an truailliú i Loch nEathach níos measa ná riamh.

Galway songwriter Jamie McIntyre has been riding the crest of a wave this past year with his 2024 summer single “Over Galway Town” becoming a viral smash hit amassing over 4 million streams on Spotify sitting amongst some of the world's biggest artists in the viral charts. Last year, he was selected by Gavin James to join him as support in Paris on his European tour as part of Three's City Stages initiative which also led to him working with Imelda May and performing at Electric Picnic, followed by performances with Liverpool songwriter Jamie Webster on his sold out shows at 3Olympia in Dublin and The Telegraph Building in Belfast. The success of “Over Galway Town” has seen his music reach to far flung places across the globe and shows no signs of slowing down. 2025 has continued that trajectory with McIntyre's debut Irish tour selling out shows in Dublin, Limerick and his hometown of Galway. His recent EP, “Chapter 23”, continues to grow his following with songs like “West is Home” and “Grá” quickly becoming fan favourites, amassing over 850k streams since its release. Jamie's single ‘Outside the city' seems to already be a fan favourite gaining over 250k streams in the first 2 months of release. And his single ‘Melbourne' also seems to be a fan favourite gaining over 200,000 in the first three weeks of release. Oileáin Árann is a song about leaving the place you are from and heading to the Aran islands in search of some peace from someone who has left you broken hearted. The song speaks about how I personally have gone onto better things since that person has left my life and realising whilst out on Oileáin Árann that there more to life than this person who didn't appreciate you as much as you thought they did or should.
