In Episode 4 the lads invite another patron into the Shnug, this time it's theatre maker Eimear Finan. We chat to Eimear about her most recent play Tart that ran during the Galway theatre festival, the plays that influenced her along the way such as ‘Low Level Panic’ and the support base she’s found with Fregolit Theatre and Theatre 57.
Tart is a comedic, semi-autobiographical look at her life where we meet the men, devices and apps that have helped and hindered her along the way.

Episode 3 sees the two lads interview another patron of the Shnug, this time it’s the man behind the amazing aerial photography of UPINTHEEIRE, Marc Jennings. We chat to Marc about how the west coast of Ireland has become his main inspiration, the milestones he’s reached in short space of time as an amateur photographer, going viral and how the landscape of social media has changed and made getting his work out there more challenging. We also talk shooting Uzi’s, the do's and don’ts of aviation law and wily rats.

This week is all about Independents, while politicians without parties are found all over Europe, but they do not garner such a large percentage of the vote as in Ireland. This is due the country’s size, proportional representation and the unique nature of Irish parish pump politics. We take a look at the notable characters that have ran for election both past and present, how Independents may affect the election and the Government that will emerge from it.
The Shnug: Political Broadcast is a new weekly show where we will be taking a look at all things political. Check us out everywhere you get podcasts. We are also on the mighty Flirt Fm every Saturday at 5pm.

Ahead of the release of season 2 this Monday the 13th of November your favourite podcasters have a little message for you...
So our first year went well, we think. 12 episodes, a 4 part mini series and lil bonus episode for the Cruinniú makes 17 in all. But that was just the start, we want MORE...
So ahead of the release of Season 2 we'd like to ask you fine people for a bit of a favour, don't worry the show will remain free and will never go behind a pay wall or any of that craic.
But obviously we have overheads that need to be taken care of, this coupled with the man hours that go in to each episode from research, scheduling, recording, art and social media, we're talking 10+ hours plus per episode, so it's quite the workload. But most importantly we'd like to GROW, get more equipment, travel further, interview more people and most importantly, we think, become more regular so we can help showcase all the west coast has to offer and that requires investment...
So if you'd like to support us, there are two options, both can be found via the links in our bio...
1. Join our Patreon and help us out with a monthly donation.
2. Use the 'Buy me a coffee' option and make a once off donation of your choosing.
Obviously if you can't afford either in these trying times please keep listening and if you can give us a share, like, subscribe, rate or comment, all will be greatly appreciated and will help us grow.
We'd like to thank everyone that's listened in and helped us along so far. Roll on season 2...

Well he finally did it, Simon Harris has called the election and while no concrete date has been given it has been confirmed for a Friday before Christmas. Join us this week as we discuss the potential dates for the election, Fine Gael losing another one of the Old Guard, political gangsters and how since the Financial Crisis there has been a protest vote in Ireland. It is unfocused, constantly shifting and has not toppled the status quo but its there, and rising.
