What’s the Story? Podcast WTSpod with Danny & Mero

This week we're all about movies and TV as Movies Editor with Entertainment.ie Brian Lloyd joins us for a chat. 
We chat about big-screen and small-screen favourites, cast a critical eye toward the Oscars, and ask why do they reboot movies that were never any good in the first place? 
 

This week we're joined by Irish Paralympian Kerrie Leonard. 
Kerrie represented Ireland at the 2020 Tokyo Paralympics which, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, were held in 2021. Kerrie tells us about her experience in those historic, pandemic games and what it was like for athletes at the events. 
Kerrie tells us what brought her to Archery and how it helped her with mental health struggles while studying at college. Having never really intended to go to the pinnacle of para-sports, she narrowly missed out on qualifying for Rio 2016 but that left her ready and poised to take on Tokyo. 
With the Paris games on the horizon, we discuss qualification hopes for this year's games. And, away from archery and competing in World Championships and Paralympics, we talk a little about her other passions including being a keen horse breeder and racing fan. 
 

This week Paul Micheau joins us from the Is it Worth It channel on social media. 
Paul talks about creating videos and reviewing food as an ordinary Joe. He has travelled around Ireland giving honest reviews of everything from the humble but iconic breakfast roll to Michelin Star restaurants.
Paul's "Is it worth it" review is based on price, taste, and experience with Paul emphasizing the importance of always keeping it real with his audience and how this has led to some interesting encounters with restaurant owners and lovers after reviews.
 
You can follow Paul and the Is it Worth It channel on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. 

For almost two years singer song-writer and activist Martin Leahy has been holding a weekly protest outside Dail Eireann to highlight Ireland's housing crisis. Drawing on his personal experience, every Thursday for over 90 weeks and counting, Martin travels from Cork to Leinster House in Dublin to sing his song "Everyone should have a home". 
We chat to Martin about his protest and how he feels about being called an activist. His life as a musician and his reaction to Christy Moore covering his song Snowflakes.

We're back and this week we're joined by journalist and broadcaster Brianna Parkins. 
In our first podcast of 2024, we take tangent talks to the next level. Our chat with Brianna starts with financial advice and ends with mullets and pornstar moustaches. There's some love for Joe Duffy, a chat about culture wars, and we hear how Australia is tackling housing very differently from Ireland. 
 

The annual WTS Christmas Special is back and this year we have a surprise guest joining us! 
As the tradition goes, Paul Howard and Gary Mackle are on hand to steer us through this festive frenzy before our dynamic duo becomes a triple threat thanks to the one and only Al Foran! 
Merry Christmas to you and yours, we'll see you in the new year.
