You might like our short documentary about artist Seán Hillen we have just made available online.

Considering the extensive home coverage given to the Las Vegas shootings I am surprised that no Irish media outlet has raised concerns about the many anomalies in the official story. … Broadsheet with your conspiratorial bent should have gone to town on this….

….we heard from everyone when this happened, even Fintan O’Toole gave a sermon, but not a peep now that circumstances surrounding what happened are in some doubt…Why?

Anyone?FIGHT!

The excellent Meet Your Maker podcast meet Sesame Street writer Ed Valentine (top right).

Host Liam Geraghty writes:

I met with kids TV writer Ed Valentine to chat about how he got to Sesame Street, the challenges of writing for Muppets and where he keeps his THREE Emmys!

As Ed sez on the podcast:

“The Street is, in its own way, a very real place. It was the first integrated neighborhood I lived in. The inter-play of humans and Muppets thought me more than the reading and writing.”
