#813 Dont Call me Darling! Niall and Guess Who? Episode 813

Not Suitable For Broadcast – “Dont Call me Darling!”

This week’s episode of Not Suitable For Broadcast didn’t quite go to plan… and it may just have turned out even better because of it!

With AJ Walsh away, Niall was faced with a dilemma. Cancel the show, or find someone brave enough to step into the hot seat. Enter his wife, Karen Boylan, who had never appeared on a radio show or podcast before. Thrown in at the deep, Karen proved to be a natural, bringing honesty, humour and plenty of opinions to the conversation. Could this be the beginning of a brand new husband and wife podcast?

Together, Niall and Karen tackle another packed week of headlines, asking whether Donald Trump should be welcomed to Ireland or protested against, whether the soaring cost of living is forcing people to leave the country, and if politicians have become too sensitive to criticism. They also debate the controversial proposal to classify miscarriage and abortion under the same term of “pregnancy loss”, the growing calls for stricter regulation of e-scooters, and RTÉ’s latest request for even more taxpayers’ money.

The conversation also turns to Ireland’s EU Presidency and Ursula von der Leyen’s visit, the shocking murder investigation into Jamey Carney in Kerry, and they wrap things up with a lighter discussion about Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese’s awkward podcast confession involving Kylie Minogue.

It’s an episode full of laughs, lively debate, unexpected chemistry and the kind of honest conversation that Not Suitable For Broadcast is becoming known for.

Was Karen a one-off stand in, or have Niall and Karen just stumbled upon the next podcast you didn’t know you needed? Listen now and let us know what you think.
