The Deirdre O’Shaughnessy Podcast from the Irish Examiner has been running since September, with the host and Opinions Editor shining a light on interesting stories throughout the week. 

It’s been a tumultuous year of news already, with episodes in the opening couple of weeks in January looking at ‘AI girlfriends’ with Eoghan Cleary from the Sexual Exploitation Research and Policy Institute and the tragic death in childbirth of Laura Liston, the 36-year-old who died in June 2022 after giving birth to a baby boy at her home near Croom, Co Limerick, under the HSE homebirth service.
