Oireachtas Retort’s latest podcast:

Abortion in Ireland and lack thereof.

OR writes:

This show begins with Fláiva Simas from Galway Prochoice reading a migrant’s perspective on Savita Halappanavar. A musical interlude from Sissy and then I am joined in conversation with Niamh Puirséil and Máiréad Enright. Topics covered include just about everything from law, politics, respectability and media ‘balance’.

Closing things out, Linda Kavanagh from the Abortion Rights Campaign and Goretti Horgan from Alliance For Choice give us an activist update from north and south.

He’s Ireland’s most divisive puppet.

But who’s pulling the strings?

Podcaster Gearoid Farrelly (above) writes:

I made a podcast episode [below] about the story of Bosco. It includes an interview with the woman behind the Bosco, puppeteer Paula Lambert, of the Lambert Puppet Theatre.

When Irish Eyes Are Watching.

A new podcast about Ireland and the Irish in film.

Alex, Cliona and Séan write:

Each episode we discuss a film that features Ireland (or Irish characters) as a main element of the story. It was inspired after a stomach-turning viewing of Leap Year (2010)…

Many Irish people may know that perturbed feeling when a moon-faced eejit called Séamus blows something up in a Harry Potter film. Or feel a sting of resentment when Michael Fassbender, Brendan Gleeson or Saoirse Ronan are nominated for “Best British Performance.” Or even just experience a jab of begrudgery when Kevin Spacey saunters into Dublin to make a kooky caper film that turns Martin Cahill into Danny Ocean.

Our podcast is about such feelings.

So far we’ve covered Far & Away (1992), In Bruges (2008), Gangs of New York (2002) and we’ve just uploaded our latest episode on Michael Collins (1996)

The Here’s How podcast.

Irish politics not as usual.

Presenter and author William Campbell (top) writes:

Here’s How is an independent Irish podcast focusing on politics, social, and current affairs, and it’s a free download. The aim is to explore ideas; what’s important is the strength of your argument, not the strength of your voice…

The show includes interviews with politicians, academics and thinkers, but your voice can be included too. You can dial 076 603 5060 to record a three-minute voicemail for inclusion in the show on any topic that feel like having a rant about.

The podcast can be heard or downloaded direct from the website [link below], but it’s much smarter to subscribe on, iTunes or any other podcast software or app like Stitcher or TuneIn.

Ger Gilroy has given it his blessing and Second Captains are quaking in their boots that’s all that matters.

Newstalk go-getters Richard Chambers, Joe Coffey, Raf Diallo and Daniel Kelly collectively known as Team 33 will be blasting out a bi-weekly podcast focusing on all things World Cup.

Richard Chambers writes:

We’re raring to go. Between now and the World Cup Final we’ll be bringing fans the latest news and views with guests from around the world. It’s about opening Irish fans up to how the participating countries are looking at their team’s performances. What sets us apart is our combination of thorough analysis and some great trips down through the years as we explore some of the best and most infamous moments of World Cup history

The Team 33 World Cup podcast will be available for download every Tuesday and Friday from noon on iTunes

Give them the ball and a yard of grass AND a microphone.

Meet Anticdote.

Anecdote?

No. Anticdote.

WHAT!?

“A fortnightly podcast cobbled together in fair Dublin city, Ireland, documenting the final days before the pop culture apocalypse. With veteran Irish film/TV junkies Stephen, Jason and Gerry. Bear with us as we discuss film and TV news/new-releases, tangentially break into chat about games, music and time travel, before regaining control of ourselves and moving onto the mercurial ‘topic of the week’ in time for dinner.”

May include Digimon.

If you’ve ever clicked on one of the app redemption links we sometimes have for iOS apps, you may already encountered the developers of Castro – Vancouver based Pádraig Ó Cinnéide and Oisin Prendiville (who is also also behind My Artist, one of our first app reviews).

Like the best iOS apps of the moment, it fully leverages all the gestures and styling of iOS 7 to give an app that is quick and intuitive to use.

Under its skin it’s a smart little beast, downloading new episodes at optimum times (as all well behaved apps should) so new content is served up as soon as it’s ready.

A slick little package and to be honest, it gets more use from me than its rival Network.

FIGHT!

Castro is available on the App Store at €2.69
