You’re only as good as your worst podcast and the podcast on Tommy Robinson was a disgrace. No discussion of the subject’s alleged Islamophobia. No questions around his alleged drug taking. No pushback on some of his outlandish and inaccurate statistics. No mention of his time in prison. That’s just the basic stuff. It’s not journalism, it’s platforming a dangerous individual. Forget about the Irish times
Would be better served with a trained and experienced radio presenter.
Subjects are more miss than hit.

I live in California and really appreciate getting a world perspective from Ireland and the UK. The news is balanced and offers news and culture from outside the U.S. bubble. Thank you.

Stick to writing, his disdain for people doesn’t come across quite as strong on the newspaper page.
