Welcome to Without Borders, the podcast from Tyto. As the only PR and communications agency built to scale high-growth technology companies faster across Europe, we know that communicating effectively in this region is rarely as simple as it seems. Every market has its own dynamics, expectations and cultural nuances, and even the biggest, most established global brands can find Europe a challenging place to build visibility and sustain momentum at scale. This podcast explores those challenges and offers practical insight for ambitious PR and comms teams. Across our different series, we look at what it really takes to drive an effective PR programme across Europe - from the lessons founders learn as they enter markets, to the way journalists and influencers shape the narrative, to the policy shifts that influence how technology is understood and regulated. Our latest series, Policy Matters, examines the evolving relationship between policy, media and communications. It's designed to give PR leaders a clearer view of how these forces interact, how political conversations take shape, and how organisations can engage thoughtfully and credibly in a landscape where the pace is accelerating and the stakes are rising. In this episode, we're joined by Ben Lyons, Senior Director of Policy and Public Affairs at Darktrace, a global leader in AI cybersecurity.  Previously, Ben led policy communications at Virgin Media and spent several years in the UK Government's Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, including as Head of External Affairs. Ben discusses why technology companies need to be more present in policy conversations than ever before, as regulation and public expectations increasingly shape how the sector operates. He discusses the role communications can play in helping governments and wider audiences understand complex issues, and in building the kind of trust that supports responsible innovation. This fascinating conversation also looks at what effective policy engagement involves in practice, focusing on the right issues, shaping narratives early, and communicating clearly across audiences and markets as influence evolves across a broader range of digital channels, forums, and media outlets. For more episodes of Without Borders, visit our YouTube channel, and don't forget to subscribe on your preferred podcast platform to stay up to date. 

Ireland may have “got out of jail” against Italy, but in Gift Grub, it's the punditry that really takes the hit.Ian chats to RTÉ's Donal Lenihan and Virgin Media's Peter O'Mahony to break down the match...and the analysis.

With Valentine's Day just around the corner, singles across Ireland are turning to their phones in the search for love. To find out which counties are most actively looking for romance, Virgin Media Ireland, Ireland's leading telecommunications and entertainment provider, analysed Google search data from February 2023 to 2025 to reveal which counties are most actively on the lookout for love. Dublin leads the way as Ireland's online dating capital, recording over 16,000 dating-related searches during February across the past three years. This works out at 1,124 searches per 100,000 people, the highest in the country. With fast-paced lifestyles, busy work schedules, and plenty of social spots, many Dubliners are turning to online dating as an easy way to meet potential partners. Carlow ranks second, with 1,001 dating-related searches per 100,000 people across February over the past three years. Valentine's Day is a popular time for singles in the county to get back on dating apps, particularly as February consistently sees a spike in online dating related searches. With its busy nightlife and walkable town centre, Carlow makes it easy for online matches to move quickly from messages to real-life meet-ups. Waterford takes third place, recording 793 searches per 100,000 people. As Ireland's oldest city, Waterford has centuries of romantic history behind it, from Viking love stories to modern-day Valentine's dates along the coast. The mix of city buzz and seaside settings makes it a popular spot for those hoping their online match might turn into something more. Longford ranks fourth, with 770 per 100,000 people. In a county where everyone tends to know everyone, Valentine's season sees many singles widening the net through dating apps. Online matches offer a bit of mystery, making first dates feel that little bit more exciting in a place where familiar faces are the norm. Rounding out the top five is Leitrim, which logged 767 dating-related searches per 100,000 people. As Ireland's least populated county, Leitrim shows how online dating is changing Valentine's Day for rural singles. Apps allow people to meet beyond county lines, turning quiet February evenings into the start of long-distance love stories, weekend trips, or surprise Valentine's plans.

This week I sit down with Conor Pope @conorpope who has recently documented how a dry January turned into a dry forever, but insists he is not a judgemental Holy Joe. Conor shares how this began rather casually but evolved into a significant lifestyle change over the years. Conor Pope is a journalist, author and broadcaster. As The Irish Times Consumer Affairs Correspondent he writes about everything from the cost of living crisis to travel chaos and frequently comes to the aid of wronged readers. He's a regular on RTE radio and television, Virgin Media and Newstalk and once appeared on Celebrity Masterchef but was sent home after inexplicably adding a field of lavender to an otherwise lovely dessert. In this episode, we talk about the cultural perceptions surrounding alcohol, exploring how our societal norms influence our drinking habits. Conor reflects on the unexpected joys and benefits he discovered after giving up the booze like his improved health metrics. His story is a great example of how a Dry January can change everything. Enjoy!

Niall qualified as a doctor from Trinity College, Dublin in 1993. He trained as a surgeon in Belfast and received his FRCSI in 1997. He was a trainee in cardio-thoracic surgery working as an SHO in the Royal Victoria Hospital, Belfast before returning to Dublin where he worked as a registrar in the National Cardiac Surgery Unit in the Mater Hospital and Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin.He subsequently retrained as an airline pilot with Aer Lingus in 1999 and combined aviation with medicine by working as an Accident & Emergency doctor for six years before focusing fully on aviation. After operating as a co-pilot on both the European and Trans-Atlantic fleets, he qualified as a captain in 2010. He is currently operating out of their Manchester base on the Airbus A330 Trans-Atlantic fleet. In 2011, Niall formed Frameworkhealth Ltd, a company providing aviation-style safety training modified specifically for healthcare which draws on his thirty-five years of experience between both industries. The company has since evolved into Framework Safety Group Ltd. This project aims to share aviation's Safety Management System blended with Human Factors and Evolutionary Psychology with healthcare and other industries in order to address the huge issue of Adverse Events, usually caused by systemic faults but often blamed on the last individual to have touched the ball. Niall aims to encourage industries, especially healthcare to adopt a Just Culture, embed a systemic Human Factors approach and empower staff, patients and their families to speak up as part of the crew. His approach is based on the premise that technology and society have evolved faster in the last century than the human brain can accommodate so we need to adapt to account for this in order to reduce the number of adverse events. He has spoken at many conferences locally, nationally and internationally on the topic.Niall has contributed articles both to specialist journals and national newspapers such as The Irish Times. He has also given interviews for national television including RTE TV News and Virgin Media and has been interviewed several times on BBC Radio. In 2016, Niall was appointed an Expert Advisor to the Northern Ireland Executive's Dept of Health following a well received TEDx talk in Stormont's Great Hall.Niall cycled at national level for thirteen years and at pro-am international level for several years in the early 90s and was a member of Northern Ireland's Commonwealth Games panel. He subsequently worked as Medical Officer for both the Federation of Irish Cyclists (now Cycling Ireland) and the Ulster Cycling Federation. He also worked as a Race Doctor at international level for six years.In 2023, Niall had his first book, ‘Oops! Why Things Go Wrong' published which explored the increasingly topical issue of error across industry and society generally and most importantly, how to address it. The book is already in it's second print run after a higher than anticipated demand.The success of the book has led to many invitations from outside healthcare, hence Frameworkhealth's evolution into Framework Safety Group Ltd in recognition of this broadening scope.

This week's episode of Inside Business sees host Ciarán Hancock joined in studio by Niall Tallon, chief executive of Irish telecoms group Imagine. A minor in the Irish market, the company recently made a bold move offering cheap fibre broadband products along with a promise not to increase those prices for the next five years. This is designed to double its customer base by 2030 as part of a multi-million investment in growing the business. It's a brave strategy given that Imagine has just 35,000 existing customers and big competitors such as Eir, Vodafone, Three and Virgin Media who control a large chunk of the market between them.Niall explains how the offer will work and the business case behind it, as well as discussing the company's Armenian owners and how he came to run a telco with a chequered history that was originally founded by the late Irish entrepreneur Sean Bolger. Produced by John Casey with JJ Vernon on sound. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Topics covered: Gaeilge, music, heritage, culture, shame, colonisation, Irish Americans, Samhain, An Chailleach​.In this special Oíche Shamhna episode, I speak with musician, broadcaster, academic and podcaster Doireann Ní Ghlacáin.Doireann is the daughter of TG4 political correspondent Sorcha Ní Riada (and granddaughter of legendary Irish composer Seán Ó Riada) and fiddle player and retired Garda Kevin Glackin of the renowned Glackin musical family. Between podcasting (How to Gael), TV presenting, MC'ing, playing music, having a string of live shows and being awarded a PhD in oral Irish poetry recently, she is an incredibly impressive and productive woman.She currently splits her time between New York and Ireland, and we spoke ​last week, the day after I saw her perform on stage in An Taibhdhearc, the National Irish Language Theatre, with her show The Cailleach.In our chat, we talk about the rich heritage​ she has on both sides of her family, and about An Chailleach — and this reflective​, liminal time of year.We also discuss the moment on Virgin Media's Six O'Clock Show in February 2024, when former TD Ivan Yates said he “couldn't be arsed” in reference to the Irish language — and one of the presenters stood up to shake his hand in agreement.We explore how deeply insulting that was to Irish speakers, how it reflects a colonised mindset, and how passionately Doireann feels about being a Gael.A self-confessed girls' girl, she describes herself as introspective — and simply put, I loved chatting to her.Bainigí sult as!

Not to oversell, but in this episode we've stumbled across one of life's big questions:If you move house and everything is still in some degree of chaos, and a very sweet man from Virgin Media comes to install wifi but then leaves his enormous bulky jacket behind, and the addition of this one big jacket tips you over the edge mentally, how long do you have to keep the jacket before giving it to a charity shop? Obviously Virgin Media has been contacted multiple times to say, "Hey! We've got this guy's jacket!"Firecrotch is on the verge of a mental breakdown, btw.Write to us: fuckoff@firecrotchandnormcore.comSupport us, Firecrotch needs some form of private mental healthcare: https://www.patreon.com/theyliketowatchEdited by Annabel Port who is now all (or at least some of) the rage on the TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theotherbritishmuseum Hosted on Acast.

“From Donegal to your screen!

From Disney to Microsoft, via Vodafone and Virgin Media, Cindy Rose has been a top executive at some of the world's best known companies. Born and raised in the US, one of her early passions was figure skating – a sport she confessed left her covered in bumps and bruises. After qualifying as a lawyer, she later switched to corporate roles, relocating to Europe then London. Her time at Disney included a shift dressed as Mickey Mouse's loyal hound, Pluto, welcoming guests to the Californian theme park. Now she's set to become the new CEO of the troubled FTSE ad giant, WPP – where her experience in tech and AI look set to be an asset. Stephen Smith talks to friends and colleagues to find out how Cindy Rose made it from law to leadership – and the challenges she faces as head of one of the world's biggest advertising groups.

In this July 14th edition of The Refresh, host Kait recaps a whirlwind week in advertising marked by major leadership changes, surprising earnings news, and critical shifts in the social media and AI sectors. From Linda Yaccarino's headline-making exit at X to the rise of Threads and AI-powered browsers challenging Google, this episode covers the most important updates marketers need to know. With WPP's new CEO pick and YouTube's monetization policy pivot, it's clear the industry is evolving rapidly, both in people and platforms. Linda Yaccarino Exits X (0:38): After a tumultuous tenure trying to stabilize X's advertiser relations post-Elon Musk acquisition, Yaccarino stepped down, raising fresh concerns over the platform's future ad revenue and signaling a deeper pivot toward AI integration via XAI.

Welcome back to the Tahoe TAP, everyone! Your hosts Mike Peron and Rob Galloway are here with another fresh episode of Things, Adventure and People—all Tahoe-related and delivered straight to your ears. We kick things off with a quick roundup of top local news and stories making waves around the Tahoe region. Then, we dive into the heart of the episode with a special guest: Colin West, Founder & CEO of Clean Up The Lake. You've probably heard of The 72 Mile Cleanup—the first-ever human-powered circumnavigation of Lake Tahoe using SCUBA and the largest litter removal effort in the lake's history. Colin takes us behind the scenes of that monumental project, what inspired him to start, and what's next in the fight to protect one of the world's most iconic alpine lakes. About Colin West: With over a decade of experience as a SCUBA diver, Colin is a certified PADI Divemaster and Open Water SCUBA Instructor. He also brings 10 years of expertise as the Owner, Director, and Executive Producer of a global film and television production company, managing complex overseas operations and teams ranging from 5 to 30 people. His work has been featured on platforms like Amazon Prime, ABC International, HULU, Virgin Media, and in-flight entertainment networks worldwide. Colin's unique combination of underwater expertise, multimedia storytelling, and multi-faceted project management has helped guide Clean Up The Lake's mission to new depths—literally and figuratively. Tune in and get inspired—because keeping Tahoe blue starts with people like you.
