This week's podcast covers all the fallout to the great spoiled vote of 2025: Simon Harris's migration u-turn, Micheál Martin's jeopardy, the Galway West by-election, and the state of Ireland's right wing politics.

In this week's election special episode of The Long Game podcast, Ben and Jason discuss the victory of Catherine Connolly, the spoiled vote avalanche, and whether Simon Harris and Micheál Martin can survive as leaders of their respective parties.

As Fine Gael targets Catherine Connolly's work as a barrister, Jason and Ben breathe a sigh of relief that the presidential race is nearing its end. That's followed by a sigh of despair as they examine 'Official Ireland's' commitment to gender ideology and France's inability to stop thieves breaking into its national museums.

John and Sarah ask: Is Judge Martin Nolan unfairly maligned or justly criticised? Also, Independent Ireland backs Simon Harris; The Deposit Return Scheme humiliates voters; and Fine Gael flounders towards humiliation.

On this week's episode, Jason and Ben react to the Heather Humphreys' polling woes and question whether FFG's lack of political imagination is finally coming back to bite them both domestically and internationally.

On this week's episode, Ben and Jason laugh and laugh and laugh about the latest twist in the presidential election as Jim Gavin drops out, before turning to another of the candidate's disappointing gender ideology answers and analysing FG's budgetary promises.

John and Sarah react to the Jim Gavin news: His scandal, Fianna Fáil's incompetence, what it does to Micheál Martin, and why the civil service will be laughing.

This week John & Sarah turn their attention to the most popular topic with Irish pols and media and ask: What's with the Gaza obsession? Also, reflections on Barbie Kardashian and ten years of Gender Recognition. And the latest from the boring boring election:

Laura sits down with Robert Clarke from the Alliance Defending Freedom to discuss the attacks on free speech spreading across the west. In particular, they look at the EU's digital services act, and the threat it poses to online freedom:

In this week's episode of The Long Game podcast, Ben and Maria predict how boring the Presidential election debate will be, discuss Maria Steen being blocked from the ballot, and talk about American football stars being mugged in Dublin.

John and Sarah bring you the inside account of the last days of the Steen campaign, and chew the fat about what the three-candidate race says about Irish democracy. Also: Some thoughts on saying whatever the F**k you want on RTE.

In the first episode of her new podcast, Laura Perrins meets David Shipley, columnist with the Telegraph and the Spectator, about life in boarding school and Wandsworth prison. They also discuss parenting, faith, virtue and vice, and Reform's big chance in the UK.

Jason and Ben react with disbelief to Late Late Show host Patrick Kielty's proclamation that you can say whatever you want on RTÉ, before turning their disbelief to both Sinn Féin's "game-changing" presidential announcement and the way people talk about Christians.
