I found some of the recent "specialist" pieces on George Gibney and Jelena Dokic to be fascinating, if not slightly harrowing. Obviously not all of the "specialist" topics have to cover such dark material, but I find these topics more interesting that the politics-based podcasts. I'm hoping they cover the story of Damian Browne this week.

Laura disagreed with ken constantly. Ken sort of made her become a defender of jordan when it would have been more interesting to discuss the why is he so popular angle. It really showed up kens knowledge which he admits was as a ucd student many years ago.

I also thought his predictions about the Superbowl kinda showed up, let's face it, that he's full of crap. I know that there's a healthy bit of guesswork in any form of prediction about outcomes in Sport, but he does have a bad track record of calling the wrong victor in games - and he talks in it up beforehand like there's no chance the opposite might happen, "No way Eoin, there's no chance anybody but Team A will win this one". I can recall him making the same type of gaff with The World Series.

It is infuriating and depressing to know that Gibney's still at large and that he *allegedly* has friends in high places.

It’s so long and boring at this point it drives me up the wall. They have plenty of funny ones but this one is their most played by far
