Gript Media Podcasts

In this week's edition, John and Sarah reflect on Simon Harris's newfound conversion to "far right" views on immigration, the demise of Ivan Yates, the miserable state of the health service, and the latest opinion poll trends.

Laura is once more joined by Frank Haviland of The New Conservative. They review recent events in the UK, where immigration policy is making Labour the least popular government in history, and shocking crimes appear weekly:

This week, Ben and Jason discuss the Government's swing to the FAR-RIGHT (also known as majority opinion on immigration), the dawning awareness that EU regulation has stifled homebuilding, and finally the unspoken time bomb that western nations are sitting atop.

This week's podcast covers all the fallout to the great spoiled vote of 2025: Simon Harris's migration u-turn, Micheál Martin's jeopardy, the Galway West by-election, and the state of Ireland's right wing politics.

In this week's election special episode of The Long Game podcast, Ben and Jason discuss the victory of Catherine Connolly, the spoiled vote avalanche, and whether Simon Harris and Micheál Martin can survive as leaders of their respective parties.

Laura is joined by therapist and Genspect founder STELLA O'MALLEY. They talk all things transgender, from Stella's childhood desire to be a boy, how many girls are afflicted by self-loathing, and how social contagion online is threatening our children.

John and Sarah break down the two biggest stories of the week, discussing all aspects of the Citywest sexual assault and subsequent riots, and then examining the myriad ways that Fine Gael managed to blow the Presidential Election.

The President who never was? With two days to go until polling, Gript's LAURA PERRINS is joined on the podcast by Maria Steen, to discuss her career, family, activism, beliefs, and the Presidential Campaign that very nearly was.

As Fine Gael targets Catherine Connolly's work as a barrister, Jason and Ben breathe a sigh of relief that the presidential race is nearing its end. That's followed by a sigh of despair as they examine 'Official Ireland's' commitment to gender ideology and France's inability to stop thieves breaking into its national museums.

John and Sarah ask: Is Judge Martin Nolan unfairly maligned or justly criticised? Also, Independent Ireland backs Simon Harris; The Deposit Return Scheme humiliates voters; and Fine Gael flounders towards humiliation.

Gript's Laura Perrins sits down for a riveting hour with ex-Presidential candidate Nick Delehanty. On the agenda: Running for President; Exposing the IPAS racket; Running the numbers on the deposit return scheme; and reacting to international developments.

On this week's episode, Jason and Ben react to the Heather Humphreys' polling woes and question whether FFG's lack of political imagination is finally coming back to bite them both domestically and internationally. They end on an optimistic note that's sure to annoy some viewers, as poll data reveals NI youths are bullish about Christianity.

John and Sarah discuss Joe Brolly's latest descent into awfulness, debate Catherine Connolly's eventful week, and discuss a budget that was described as "prudent" yet ended up as anything but.

Ethnonationalism or cultural inheritance? Buchanan or Trump? Immigration or Pro-Natalism? Laura Perrins and Tim Stanley of the Daily Telegraph debate the big fault lines in the political right in this week's unmissable podcast:

On this week's episode, Ben and Jason laugh and laugh and laugh about the latest twist in the presidential election as Jim Gavin drops out, before turning to another of the candidate's disappointing gender ideology answers and analysing FG's budgetary promises.

John and Sarah react to the Jim Gavin news: His scandal, Fianna Fáil's incompetence, what it does to Micheál Martin, and why the civil service will be laughing.

This week John & Sarah turn their attention to the most popular topic with Irish pols and media and ask: What's with the Gaza obsession? Also, reflections on Barbie Kardashian and ten years of Gender Recognition. And the latest from the boring boring election:

Laura sits down with Robert Clarke from the Alliance Defending Freedom to discuss the attacks on free speech spreading across the west. In particular, they look at the EU's digital services act, and the threat it poses to online freedom:

In this week's episode of The Long Game podcast, Ben and Maria predict how boring the Presidential election debate will be, discuss Maria Steen being blocked from the ballot, and talk about American football stars being mugged in Dublin.

John and Sarah bring you the inside account of the last days of the Steen campaign, and chew the fat about what the three-candidate race says about Irish democracy. Also: Some thoughts on saying whatever the F**k you want on RTE.

In the first episode of her new podcast, Laura Perrins meets David Shipley, columnist with the Telegraph and the Spectator, about life in boarding school and Wandsworth prison. They also discuss parenting, faith, virtue and vice, and Reform's big chance in the UK.

Jason and Ben react with disbelief to Late Late Show host Patrick Kielty's proclamation that you can say whatever you want on RTÉ, before turning their disbelief to both Sinn Féin's "game-changing" presidential announcement and the way people talk about Christians.

In an action-packed episode, John and Sarah recap the case of Daniel Aruebose, discuss John and Eoin Hayes' blackface scandals, analyse the Joe Brolly wars and attempts to murder David Quinn, and dissect the Maria Steen nomination fight.

Ben and Jason share their reactions to the murder of Charlie Kirk, as well as what they thought of the many reactions celebrating and justifying his death. Left-wing violence on Irish streets and the Taoiseach's view that saying 'Ireland for the Irish' is tantamount to inciting violence were also on the agenda this week.

John and Sarah spend most of this week's episode talking about the murder of Charlie Kirk, the pathology of those cheering it, and where we go from here.
