As the general election results fade into the distance, and there has been a widespread sigh of relief that no far right candidates were successful, there are some political observers who believe it's only a matter of time before the hate-filled messages of some agitators start to resonate with elements of the electorate, as they have in other countries across Europe.In November, a Jewish student was attacked by three men in a nightclub in Dublin, in a suspected anti-Semitic assault. Gardaí are investigating it as a potential hate crime.

On today's podcast I chatted with Siobhan Cronin, the editor of the Southern Star, one of Ireland's most successful regional newspapers. Siobhan is as passionate about media as she is about open water swimming and we chatted about both. She remembers the earlier days of newspapers when you would literally have a sentence stuck on your shoe, and she now juggles the delicate balance between the printed newspaper and embracing the various opportunities of digital. We spoke about autism, AI, car tax, the best places to swim, the importance of a decent holiday and the story of Canty's Cove!!

Brent Cobb grew up in Ellaville, Georgia, where he was encouraged by his parents – especially his songwriting father – to pick up a guitar. Following the advice of Luke Bryan, he moved to Nashville, where he used his talent to write hit songs for everyone from Kenny Chesney to Miranda Lambert, but now he's known as a Grammy-nominated artist and performer all his own. In 2022, he produced a gospel record based on a lot of the music he grew up with in the Baptist church. And now his latest album, Southern Star, stands as a tribute to both his small-town Georgia roots and the people he's lost.
