How RTÉ Ruined your Life

from Casement's Leftovers · host Casement's Leftovers

Ever wondered why we've had the same two gangs of lizards running the country since its very inception? Ever wondered if it could be something to do with our ... state broadcaster? This episode's guest Adam joins Helen and Glen on an adventure into how RTÉ employed capitalist realism to ruin all our individual lives and the collective life of the state. Plus, they find a possible answer to the question that still plagues Ireland: why did we have a collective meltdown in 2014 when Garth Brooks cancelled his tour dates? Was it something to do with the stream of Western movies and Southern country music that RTÉ's first Director General, Irish-American Edward Roth, fed to us all the way back in the '60s?
