Ciara and Ronan ramble about being a yonug person in Ireland, growing up in Dublin vs the countryside, and the Americanisation of Irish culture. With Ronan once again on editing duty and now album art duty standards have clearly slipped.

Ciara and Ronan discuss the election (quickly), the US state agencies, mind control and give a couple movie and album recommendations at the end Ronan did sound editing and timestamps for this one so blame him for issues.

Samhain 2020 Special (Recorded remotely through the internet due to lockdown, but Ronan and Ciara make it work). In this part, we discuss the haunting tales of two famous ghost ships. Terribly timed segues, mouldy bowls and bigger than the giant squid. (Explicit/NSFW. 18+. All views expressed are those of the individual.)

The pilot episode of Openly Related To..... Ciara and Ronan discuss GolfGate, WAP, and go on several tangents. Sound is unedited because we're still ironing out the kinks but next episode's sound quality will be mint crisp hopefully. (NSFW. 18+. All views expressed are those of the individual.)
