Start off October properly by letting your overheard, smoking area nightmare  unravel before your ears.

We are joined by The Ditch investigative journalist Paulie Doyle to set the record straight on the latest silly season media obsession: CRIME. Is Dublin really more unsafe than it was before? Why do the media seem so hell-bent on generating a moral panic about it? And just exactly how much money is Putin giving to The Ditch? It’s a wide-ranging conversation that touches on class, violence, criminal podcasts (not this one), the media, gangland and more. We also ask Paulie about The Ditch and how its model of investigative journalism differs so massively from what we see in the mainstream media. Make sure check to out Paulie’s great reporting in places like The Ditch, VICE and Jacobin. Support the show

On fatphobia and attraction. That's right baby, we're talking about desire again! We're joined by the wonderful Ellen to talk about everything from fatness and beauty standards to dating and Love Island. How can we free ourselves from society's oppressive and limiting standards? Is it possible to love and to fuck in a feminist way? And is Lizzo maybe just a stuck-up bitch? As always, please feel free to reach out to us via Instagram, Twitter or email (casementsleftovers@gmail.com), and make sure to tell your friends about us xSupport the show

In a desperatere attempt to stay current and relevant, (most of) the Casements crew watched the new Barbie movie and churned out an episode on it! Tune in for tepid takes on the film’s production, its post-modern meta-narratives, and its middle brow feminist politics. This Barbie thought the film was fine! Support the show

It’s that time of year again. A time when businesses paint their inner colon rainbow, for your cash. When straight lads in the smoking area talk about how they held hands with a boy once in school. When basic gays walk around topless, proudly displaying their months of hard work in the gym. In short, it’s Pride month. Your favourite republican gonzo journalists are out on the prowl, talking to the public, getting their opinions on all things LGBTQIA. They spill their guts on coming out, on gender, on public shame and the struggle of straight identity in a world run by a gay iluminati. Join Helen and Glen as they bravely take the plunge, get drunk and talk to randos in the name of socialism and gay liberation.Support the show

What part does desire play in our gender identity? And can sissy porn really make you trans?

It’s the first day of Eurovision semifinals. We know you’ve been anxious. You’ve been saying to your friends “Casements haven’t dropped their annual Eurovision episode yet. I don’t know which entries I’m allowed to like?” They’re sick of hearing it.  Don’t worry - we’re here, and we brought acclaimed Dublin musician PureGrand (a.k.a Luke Faulkner), expert in all things The Past. We discuss the best and worst of Ireland’s entries past and present, the way the Brits even manage to colonise a song contest from the place they voted by referendum to leave, and write a new definition of camp to rival Susan Sontag. Tune in ASAP to find out whether it’s cancellable to like Wild Youth.We also get Luke to preview some of this year's favourites. Does the return of former Swedish Eurovision winner Loreen represent a threat to Ireland's record? How has J.K. Rowling helped Ireland's chances of success at this year's tournament? And who is this year's hottest contestant?Before all that we have about ten minutes of technical difficulties and another ten minutes of actually rather interesting chat with Luke about his philosophy of music, and pop music’s relationship to the past and to the future.

Sick and tired of the SILENCE from the LAMESTREAM media, the Casements gang get together for a very special episode about the latest scandal dribbling meekly out of the anus that is this Irish government.

And what exactly can we get away saying on this podcast before we get sued? As always, drop us a line at casementsleftovers@gmail.com, and follow us on Twitter, Instagram and TikTok.

Last week saw the visit to Ireland of United States President Joe Biden, and the Casements gang dig behind the tweets and headlines to reveal what it all actually means. We use the illustrious occasion as a jumping-off point to talk about American-Irish relations more broadly, and to ask tough questions like: what are the limits of nationhood and identity? What will a post-FFFG Ireland do on the global stage? And is it okay to be cringe as long as you are seizing power? We address the controversy over Mary Lou McDonald’s supposed hypocrisy while taking the Irish media class to task as they fail to do their jobs (yet again), before having a wide-ranging discussion about Ireland’s role as the best little postcolonial nation. Will our relationship with America – and our national identity more broadly – change under a Sinn Fein government? Or are we destined to forever be the imperial whipping boys? Don't forget you can email us at casementsleftovers@gmail.com and can also get in touch via Twitter, Instagram or TikTok. Support the show
