Snake bite
from Counterpoint Hosted by Australian Broadcasting Corporation
Did you know that each year around 4.5 million people are bitten by venomous snakes resulting in 138,000 deaths? How can we stop that? Are the hand gestures that we use when speaking universal or do they differ from country to country? What happened when the first women in America to become dean of a medical school took her students to a clinical medical lecture and how important was Iceland in the second World War?

Counterpoint with Eddie Hobbs
Eddie Hobbs
Counterpoint searches for wisdom from among dissenters.Critical thinkers have a latent love for plain speaking in open debates that do not flinch before sacred cows especially true of Irish audiences. Expect Counterpoint interviews to be curious, challenging, and dissenting across global themes, in the common search for authenticity and truth, beyond the footprints of groupthink. Eddie Hobbs is known for his blockbuster TV series Rip Off Republic which set audience records for Irish TV when his humourous polemic forensically challenged the Irish Government on how the State was 'eating its young'. It was a harbinger of the Irish crash. Since 2020, Hobbs has consistently called out the Irish 4th Estate for deserting the Irish people, for not challenging State policies on COVID. He also called out the Irish President for failing in his duty to use the Constitution to protect the people from vaccine passports.
