On this week’s episode we sit down with documentary film maker & author Henry Vyner-Brooks. Henry is also the host of the ‘Saving Europe’ YouTube channel, where he takes us on a journey across Europe and explores the people who rescued European Civilisation in the Dark Ages & after World War II, people like Columbanus and Robert Schuman. On this episode, we delve into the story of Columbanus, an influential Irish missionary and a key figure in the Christian monastic movement of the early Middle Ages. We explore Bangor Abbey, known at the light of the world in the 6th century, and discuss how Irish intellectuals left a lasting impression on Europe.

On this week’s episode we sit down with author and award-winning political journalist Harry McGee. Harry is the political correspondent with The Irish Times, and has previously worked for several publications, including being political editor of the Irish Examiner, as well as jobs with the Sunday Tribune, and the Sunday Press. Harry also authored “The Murderer and the Taoiseach: Death, Politics and GUBU”, which explores a notorious case in 1980s Ireland involving Malcolm Macarthur, an Irish aristocrat who committed a brutal killing spree in an attempt to alleviate his financial troubles. The case not only shocked the nation but also had profound political ramifications, leading to widespread damage to the reputation of then Taoiseach Charles Haughey. The term GUBU (grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre, and unprecedented) was coined by Haughey himself to describe the events, encapsulating the surreal and shocking nature of the scandal.
