This week Aoife Moore of the Sunday Times Ireland and I work through the bleakness that is the news this week. We get into the horrific shooting in Colorado Springs, the protests in East Wall and the latest Daft report on rental housing.

My guest is the utterly charming and incredibly talented Felispeaks, who you may know from television appearances, their role in Thisispopbaby's Wake, or via their incredible poetry. We chat about how they keep their standards so incredibly high, and how they feels about their continued success.

LGBT activist and podcaster James O'Hagan breaks down this week's biggest stories from the world of entertainment. We chat about Taylor Swift taking on Ticketmaster, the conclusion of the Joe Lycett vs. David Beckham situation and the news that Eurovision is taking its voting worldwide.

In BIG NEWS, the podcast now has a Whatsapp and I would love if you fancied sending in a voicenote.
