    Wrong episode uploaded ?
    The episode advertised as ‘Ghislaine Maxwell’ is about Trump’s brother. Seems to be an uploading mistake

    Yesterday’s News Today
    Why does it take RTE an age to provide a Podcast after transmission. It’s like they have a part-time staffer uploading Podcasts and they don’t upload anything after 6pm. Disappointing for a major broadcast network.
