Description

When you go out to get a pint of milk, do you bring your essential survival kit in case of attack from rampaging gangs or immediate societal breakdown? If not, why not?

On Free State today, Joe and Dion are afraid and have recorded from their panic rooms. Maybe they have been watching too much Fox News.

Last week the channel asked ‘What Happened to Dublin?’ and rolled out questionable statistics about rising crime in the city.

We look at why these stories resonate. Why are so many people determined, not just to believe the worse, but to believe things that aren’t happening at all?

But in this climate of fear, opportunists prowl. Men like Conor McGregor are hoping that if people feel lost, they will look for salvation where they have never looked before. On Free State today, Dion and Joe tell us why, actually everything is going to be ok.

Sadly the lads are running on fumes now ....what started off as a must listen podcast has become a giggle fest of enormous mediocrity...
