In this week’s episode, Nathan makes his return to the show and takes us along on his journey abroad — from working in Zante, Greece, to exploring the streets of Athens, and experiencing unforgettable adventures in Egypt.Back home, the focus shifts to Ireland’s political landscape, where the government has hand-picked just three candidates for the next presidential election. We ask the tough question: is democracy in Ireland still alive and well?We also dive into the controversial changes to sex education, with Minister for Education Helen McEntee moving lessons from sixth class down to third class. This sparks a passionate debate as we share our thoughts, concerns, and what we’d do if we were parents faced with this shift — with most of us strongly opposing the move.From picturing ourselves at the pyramids through Nathan’s travel stories to grounding ourselves in the political and social challenges at home, this episode is packed with adventure, strong opinions, and lively debate.
