  • 21. "Back to Basics"
    Oct 8 2025

    Jim Gavin's dramatic exit from the presidential race gives Aoife and Colm plenty to chat about this week as they reflect on his brief campaign and how the amount of money needed to bring down a Fianna Fáil candidate is slowly decreasing as the years go on.

    If that's not enough, they also unpack Budget 2026 and the bizarre quotes coming out of the UK party conferences.

    The first of the Irish citizens who were on board an aid floatilla headed for Gaza have returned after being held by Israel and Aoife and Colm discuss the importance of these protests which have been dismissed by some as 'publicity stunts'.

    And in the North, Belfast City Council has made the historic decision to introduce bilingual signage and logos.

    Oct 1 2025

    US president Trump had not one but two mishaps with technology at the United Nations, one with an escalator and the next with a teleprompter. But Aoife asks if all his faffs will be forgotten now that he appears to have brokered a peace deal for Gaza?

    Colm is delighted that 'Dad Bods' and the Liberties are both finally getting the recognition they deserve.

    The two offer their take on the first televised presidential debate and Aoife explains why she won't be commenting on anyone's wardrobe choices.

    There's also a discussion of the tragic deaths in Dublin and Louth and a reminder of the real lives behind the headlines.

  • 18. "A Nuanced Conversation"
    Sep 24 2025

    The presidential campaign has finally kicked into gear, so Aoife and Colm have plenty to talk about with Catherine Connolly's comments about Hamas and the unfounded rumours about Jim Gavin.

    There's also US President Donald Trump's recent trip to the UK that's caused a stir in the North, the concerning sale of location data, and the end of a pandemic.

    It's not the first, or last time, that Kneecap get a shout out in the podcast as they take on a new law suit, this time going up against Canada after being barred from entry.

    Sep 17 2025

    Conor McGregor, the presidential candidate who was never even nominated, has withdrawn his name from consideration as the next President of Ireland. Aoife and Colm are much more interested in the wheelbarrow being put forward instead.

    In the UK, Prime Minister Keir Starmer's leadership is facing challenges after losing his 'Prince of Darkness' Peter Mandelson when the US Ambassador's close ties to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein came to light. Aoife is surprised that Starmer has held onto the Labour leadership for as long as he has.

    The world continues to watch on as Israel commits a genocide in Gaza and as Russian drones encroach on Polish airspace.

    Colm does his best to explain the online ecosystem from which right wing leaders Nick Fuentes and the recently murdered Charlie Kirk emerged.

    And of course, there's some good news too sent in by you to AFewScoops@GoLoudNow.com

  • 16. "Are You Serious?"
    Sep 10 2025

    Is Nigel Farage going to put the Good Friday Agreement at risk? And is there any news programme that isn't improved by a dance remix? Aoife and Colm are asking the big questions this week.

    They also look at the latest updates to the presidential campaign here in Ireland, and the struggle to find a new Prime Minister in France.

    The war on Gaza is continuing to escalate, but Aoife and Colm highlight the important work being done by activists.

    And in good news, Trump is not immune to consequences and the Luas is free [along with a number of other public transport routes, provided you're under the age of 8].

  • 15. "Born To Do It"
    Sep 3 2025

    It looks like Fianna Fáil has finally settled on former GAA manager, Jim Gavin, as their presidential candidate, but Billy Kelleher isn't giving up the fight until the secret ballot is counted.

    Aoife asks if the tricolour has been co-opted by the far right and what can be done about it? And the two discuss the horrific threats made against the children of Tánaiste Simon Harris.

    Colm laments the lack of storms baring his name, and in a rare piece of good news in relation to the war on Gaza, the Central Bank of Ireland is no longer approving Israeli war bonds.

    A hedgehog sighting at Electric Picnic made Colm's weekend while Aoife's festival included crying twice and clashing with Kneecap.
