- 56 minutes 30 secondsEpisode 267 w/ John Sweetman
True crime series Lines Of Enquiry launched in November and has very quickly taken off. This week we spoke to the host, John Sweetman a former Garda who specialised in fingerprints and handwriting analysis.
John told us about the scenes that always stuck with him, developing a thick skin and some of the heavy cases he worked on including Jastine Valdez, the murders of the Hawe family and the Midlands Letters case that stopped a predator before he could act out his sick fantasies.
John isn't your typical copper and his background was actually in animating a childhood classic the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

12 May 2026, 9:00 am - 1 hour 29 minutesEpisode 266 w/ Bob Cullen
When Bob Cullen woke up in a Garda cell with no memory of how he got there, he began looking back at his life to understand what led him to that moment. A childhood scarred by bullying. Drug taking at age 12. Insecurities masked by lashing out violently.
Bob was sentenced to 7 and a half years for robbery and he used his time in prison to tackle his addiction and educate himself on criminology and psychology. Now, he advocates for a complete overhaul of the prison system in favour of something that actually serves justice for all victims.
This episode contains discussion of suicide and suicidal ideation, if you can relate to Bob's story please speak to your GP or call Samaritans any time on 116 123.

7 May 2026, 4:00 pm - 28 minutes 44 secondsBonus: Victim of My Own Nap
There's been a lot of talk about punctuality lately on the podcast. But this week it went to the extreme.
After waiting in studio for over an hour for Terence to arrive, Calvin had only begun recording an apology when a phone call came through. Terence had awoken from his nap.
Down the phone, he does his best to convince the lads to record another day. There's talk of money exchanging hands, but what they really want is a punishment suggested by the listeners so send them in to [email protected]
5 May 2026, 9:00 am - 1 hour 1 minuteEpisode 265 w/ Aaron Rowe
Aaron Rowe has been blowing up lately, with hit songs like Hey Ma, sold out gigs and crowds that blow the roof off. He joined us this week after an incredible show in the Academy.
He told us about his journey from being afraid to tell his friends he played guitar to standing on stage in front of thousands of people opening for Ed Sheeran and Sam Fender.
Aaron got his big break when he was playing in a pub on Camden St and Lewis Capaldi walked in. He explained how life has changed since that moment, what's next for him and why so many of the songs he writes don't get heard.
And there's was some serious chaos in studio when he arrived in!

30 April 2026, 4:00 pm - 25 minutes 10 secondsBonus: Death By Condom
Quite the trip this week (in every sense) as the boys respond to last week's callout to listeners in far flung corners of the globe and it's fair to say their voices are lighting up some random spots.
A very disturbing story from a listener involving a dog, a used condom and a father in law inspires Terry to ring his brother to get him to tell an absolute cracker involving a near death experience of a childhood friend.

28 April 2026, 9:00 am - 1 hour 19 minutesEpisode 264 w/ Pierce O'Leary
World champ Pierce O’Leary is back with Terence and Calvin – and this time he’s actually walking in with the belt.
He chats about the ups and downs nobody sees: boxing politics, learning the business, nearly packing it in 14 months ago, and the mad graft it took to turn “I’m gonna be world champion” into reality.
Pierce tells the full Rocky-style story of moving to England with a backpack and a grand, living above a pub, and the night he nearly had to defend himself with a kitchen knife.
Plus: the sold-out 3Arena homecoming, what’s next, and what a proper brutal camp looks like.

23 April 2026, 4:00 pm - 22 minutes 3 secondsBonus: Spreading Rumours
Calvin starts a rumour and Terence makes outlandish claims of his geography knowledge that are immediately disproven. There's new films added to the 'To Watch' list, not to mention viral videos.
The two lads offer advice to a listener who moves into a new gaff with a mate and immediately has to deal with him “christening” the place with random dates. And they wonder whether Justin Bieber was getting paid too much for his set at Coachella?

21 April 2026, 9:00 am - 56 minutes 25 secondsEpisode 263 w/ Deirdre O'Kane
Legend of the Irish comedy scene Deirdre O'Kane joined us this week - She talked about learning that comedy was a script, not just improvised on stage and how she began writing jokes immediately after that realisation. One of the first women on the scene, Deirdre was doing well, but nearly quit after a particularly bad show - Until a sign from the universe in the form of the iconic Billy Connolly.
She told us how the world of stand up has evolved, what her dream role is and why comedy classics like Intermission are not as easy to make as you might think.
We also learned more about Terry in this episode - Namely, that he's never seen Intermission and that he doesn't know who Billy Connolly is.

16 April 2026, 4:00 pm - 23 minutes 42 secondsBonus: Blood Baths
An innocent listener question asking Terence to imagine his tour of Dublin's best sites brings up some a bad memory of causing a mass evacuation in Sean MacDermott street baths.
The lads praise the taxi drivers who found new ways around the city when the tractors took over, and give an update on the car that’s been bought, paid for, but still never driven.
And it doesn't take long for the accusations to start flying and hostilities to build as the real grafters reveal themselves.

14 April 2026, 9:00 am - 58 minutes 39 secondsEpisode 262 w/ Paul Flaherty
Cillian Flaherty was a fit and healthy 15 year old boy. He was looking forward to his upcoming TV appearance on Ireland's Fittest Families. Then one night in 2024, he went to bed and never woke up.
His dad Paul Flaherty joined us to talk about the shock of finding his son dead, how fitness helped his family through grief, and why it's so important to get your heart tested regularly.
Follow Paul on Instagram @paul23flaherty to keep up to date with the run in Cillian's memory coming up soon.
