Welcome to the brand new podcast where broadcaster Niall Boylan and his wife, Karen, discuss everything and anything. From the biggest stories in the news to the arguments taking place in bedrooms, kitchens and family WhatsApp groups, absolutely nothing is off the table.

Niall speaks to Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín about new figures revealing that 6,329 people have been receiving Jobseeker’s Allowance for more than ten years. The figures also show that almost 39,000 people have remained on the payment for at least two years, approximately 21,000 for four years or more and around 9,000 for over eight years. This is happening while Ireland’s unemployment rate stands at approximately 5 per cent.

Niall speaks to Fatima Gunning, journalist with Gript Media, and Noel O’Flynn about calls for Gardaí to receive greater legal protection when pursuing suspected criminals. Justice Minister Jim O’Callaghan says he wants legislation progressed to protect Gardaí involved in pursuits of cars, scramblers, e-bikes and e-scooters. Pointing to the UK, where police officers have “specific statutory protections” when pursuing suspects during the course of their work, O’Callaghan said: “I would like to see something like that within the Irish legal system.”

This week, Niall Boylan is joined by legendary broadcaster George Hook for Episode 8 of Not Suitable for Broadcast, as the two radio veterans take an unapologetic look at some of the biggest, strangest and most controversial stories of the week.

Niall speaks to Independent Senator Rónán Mullen about the increasingly hostile and dangerous nature of modern politics following the killing of former British government minister and Reform UK spokesperson Ann Widdecombe.

Niall talks to callers about the growing controversy over Government plans to reduce payments to people providing accommodation to Ukrainians in Ireland. The Accommodation Recognition Payment currently gives hosts €600 per month for housing Ukrainian refugees. However, the Government plans to reduce that payment to €400 from September, before ending the scheme entirely in March 2027.
