“What if we didn’t hear anything from ‘royal experts’ on Megan and Harry? Wonder what our lives would be like.
It’s bad enough the UK rag publications hound them night and day. Leave them alone.”

However, the speed at which the speakers talk (which I understand is due to editing) is quite uncomfortable to listen to. This would affect my interest in...”Read full review »

“This serves as a great resource for an expat wanting to keep up to date with issues in ireland.
I think they could polish the only amateurish part of the podcast: the audio fade-in and out of the theme song, though.”
