A ceasefire has been agreed between Iran and Israel - But how long it will last is anyone's guess. Aoife and Colm discuss the US decision to get involved in the conflict and both the similarities and differences between this and previous US interventions in the Middle East.We wish a happy Pride to all our lovely listeners! Aoife looks back at the history of gay rights in Ireland and explains why in this period of DEI cutbacks and withdrawn sponsorship, it's more important than ever to remember that Pride started out as a protest.After an incident in which Swedish House Mafia was mistakenly quoted by an Irish politician seeking aid for Gaza, there's discussion of AI use in the Dáil as well as talk of the porn link accidentally shared instead of a triathlon route by Skerries News.And to lift us all up, Colm tells us about the pampering habits of killer whales.Send your good news stories about things like breakups that are really for the best, hard won new houses and more to [email protected]
