TRSI 194 - Enjoy the drum solo

A member of a political people which supports the legalization of euthanasia has some strong words for those who believe in "political ideologies opposed to the saving of lives"; the New York Times has decided it believes in magic words and will sack anyone who utters them without performing the appropriate rituals; and a reminder that more than half of Irish MEPs, when asked to vote on it, were unwilling to say that Ireland should not be designated as a tax haven.

TRSI 192 - We need to respect Burma's lifestyle choices and refer to it as Myanmar

A military coup may be a step backwards; new reports of systematic rape from Xinjiang in China; why we should let artists starve; and that time Tommy Tiernan said he would have killed 10 to 12 million Jews if he was running the Holocaust.

Father Luuk Jansen, from St Mary’s Church in Cork, brings us his Sunday Reflection. This week he discusses the need to take the time to look back so that you can see how far you've come.

TRSI 190 - Stonks

A group of random internet users cripple a hedge fund and they may now have the taste for blood; the Jewish space laser; the HSE somehow finds a new depth of ineptitude; and the AstraZeneca issue keeps on rolling on.

TRSI 189 - Stand patiently, suffer in silence, and wait
