Bold Puppy Productions cast a retrospective look back at what went on in the Phantom Green at the Longitude Festival 2013.
Interviews with the bands, live DJ sets, damn inevitable hipsters and people getting off their faces sunburnt.
Listen back on Phantom.ie

A fascinating mini-doc by the Grantland Channel exploring how, for the last 18 years, the Compton Cricket Club (aka ‘Homies and the Popz’) has changed lives in Compton, California.
The CCC was founded in 1995 to:
…curb the negative effects of gang activities amongst the youth of Compton, address homelessness in the inner city through the principles and ethics of cricket and encourage and promote civility, good and productive citizenship.

Betrayal?
Not so, says the Government news service:
“None of the funds collected though the Local Property tax have gone towards our bailout debt nor will it be handed to bank bondholders. Any statement to the contrary is inaccurate.
From the 1st of January 2014 the Minister for Finance will pay the Local Property Tax into the Local Government Fund and will be used to fund local services – this provision was including in the Local Property Tax Act first published on the 14th of December and debated in the Oireachtas in December 2012.
The Government has also announced its intention that 80% of the local property tax will be retained in the local authority area it is raised to fund local services in the area.”
Hmm.
YOU decide.
