“Zelenssky’s a Twerp!” Plus the Biggest Stories of the Week. Episode 803

It’s that time of the week again as Niall Boylan is joined by his former producer and good friend AJ Walsh to break down the biggest stories making headlines in Ireland and around the world.

This week, they discuss Metallica’s generous €80,000 donation to Irish charities during their Dublin visit, RTÉ’s decision to make dozens of presenters employees after the bogus self employment controversy, fuel prices as excise duty changes begin to take effect, and the US Supreme Court’s decision to uphold birthright citizenship in a major setback for Donald Trump.

They also examine the bizarre Empire State Building marriage proposal that divided the internet, the guilty verdict in the horrific Parnell Square knife attack, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s visit to Dublin as Ireland begins its EU Presidency, and growing calls for tougher border controls following new polling on immigration and the Irish border.

As always, expect plenty of laughs, strong opinions, behind the scenes stories from decades in broadcasting, and the kind of lively conversation that regularly disappears down unexpected rabbit holes.

Whether you agree with them or not, this is a fast paced, entertaining look at the week’s biggest talking points that you won’t want to miss.
