*Send your thoughts, opinions and feedback via voicenote to 0892096423* Many of you sent me the recent research by DCU's Anti-Bullying Centre which shone a light on the way anti-feminist, misogynistic content ends up on young men's social media fees. I really wanted to hear more about the research and to learn more about the origins of this kind of content as well as what we can do to help the boys in our life falling prey to it, so I was delighted to chat to lead researcher Dr. Catherine Baker of DCU's Anti-Bullying Centre.

*Send your thoughts, opinions and feedback via voicenote to 0892096423* You may have heard people talking about this week's RTE Investigates documentary on the fact that many Irish people are still being forced to travel to access abortion services. The issues raised are really troubling, and it seems that many people weren't aware of the awful circumstances in which people still find themselves in around pregnancy in this country. This week I caught up with Annie Tidbury, Service Manager of the Abortion Support Network, a volunteer-run service which assists people in accessing abortion. Sadly, Ireland is still in the top two countries they hear from. We talked about why there are still barriers and what we can do to make change.To support the podcast and access bonus episodes join our community on Patreon. Hosted on Acast.

*Send your thoughts, opinions and feedback via voicenote to 0892096423* For some time now I’ve wanted to speak directly to someone impacted by what’s happened over the last six months in Gaza, and lately that desire intensified as I sensed myself and others becoming a little desensitised to the continued horror. Then, I was flicking through tiktok last week and I came across a post from today’s guest, Dr. Walaa AlAbssi, a dentist from Gaza who came to Ireland in September to complete a Masters degree and immediately felt she was the right person to speak to. I was so happy when she agreed to speak to me about her experience of being here, while her family are doing everything they can to survive in Gaza, and what we can do to help.TO SUPPORT WALAA IN HER EFFORTS TO GET HER FAMILY OUT OF GAZA PLEASE DONATE HERE.
