Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack Daniel Ennis is what you might call an accidental life-long politician, even if what he works on is not typically part of the political curriculum. He's also 7ft 15", so I had to be careful in my criticisms. This was fun. Not all podcasts with Cllrs are fun.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack Dima Al-Madhoun is a translator in Gaza and joins us from her displacement tent in Al-Mawasi. She speaks of losing her home, moving from place to place, the heartbreaking loss of some members of her family and how she is greatly concerned that the current generation of children have now lost two years of their education. The occupation is all about brutality and destruction on every level, as she keeps repeating. Tune in for the full story. Note: We had a lot of connection issues here, so please be patient with the audio.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack It’s a lot at the moment.

Please join us at patreon.com/tortoiseshack The Self-Critical Columnist - Colin Sheridan Colin Sheridan is a writer, journalist and columnist with the Irish Examiner. He is also a former Irish Army Officer and it is perhaps this lived experience that shapes his writing in ways that you don't read too often in our opinion pages. This is the first of what we hope will be more conversations with a person who it turns out has a lot of interesting views on a lot of topics that we care about. Enjoy.
