In the aftermath of the arrest of "respected journalist" and far-right-activist, Gemma O'Doherty, we discuss the worrying rise in numbers of those buying into her conspiracy-theory and racist driven drivel. And the Don unveils Seaniebee's father, the celebrated Irish ventriloquist, Seoirse - who joins the pod with his dummy, Gerald - at number 6 on her Top 20 Countdown.

On the occasion of his 82nd birthday, Seoirse (George Boyle) joins the pod with his sidekick Gerald to share their adventure stories down the years. We discuss what it was like growing up in Dublin during the War and how his love for ventriloquism bloomed, as he made his fist dummies from papier-mâché and daub. Seoirse and Gerald represented Ireland and reached the final on The Original Gong Show with Ted Mack, and were the opening act when Ireland’s TV station RTE launched in 1961. George dovetailed his ventriloquism with a successful career in engineering and shares his wisdom on the current state of the world and ideas on how we might get back on course. Oh, and we mostly discuss how amazing it must feel to have fathered Seaniebee!
