Panic On The Streets Of Dublin (w/ Paulie Doyle)

We are joined by The Ditch investigative journalist Paulie Doyle to set the record straight on the latest silly season media obsession: CRIME. Is Dublin really more unsafe than it was before? Why do the media seem so hell-bent on generating a moral panic about it? And just exactly how much money is Putin giving to The Ditch? It’s a wide-ranging conversation that touches on class, violence, criminal podcasts (not this one), the media, gangland and more. We also ask Paulie about The Ditch and how its model of investigative journalism differs so massively from what we see in the mainstream media. Make sure check to out Paulie’s great reporting in places like The Ditch, VICE and Jacobin. Support the show
