Episode recorded on April 2nd 2021.

Catherine Arnold and Gillian O'Neill join Campus Vote Project Student Advisory Board Member Benjamin "Benjie-Boy" Nixon to explore topics including but not limited to the colonial underpinnings of gerrymandering in Ireland, the European Union's impact on Ireland's socioeconomic propensities, pestiferous political puritanism in online activist spaces, and the shortcomings of stanning politicians.

Catherine Arnold is a student at Trinity College Dublin. She majors in sociology and minors in philosophy. As the National Labour Youth Gender Equality officer and co-chair to Labour LGBT, she not only adds unnecessary "u's" to the word "labor" but she also dips her fingers into countless proverbial political pies such as migrant rights, plastic pollution, the advancement of gender equity, and other important topics. She puts 90's litterbug public service announcements to shame. You can find her on Facebook - she's the Catherine Arnold with blond curly hair reminiscent of a labradoodle.

Gillian O'Neill is a third year Law student at Trinity College Dublin, currently on her Erasmus year abroad at the University of Helsinki. She is Assistant Features Editor and a staff writer with The University Times, Ireland's largest and most successful student newspaper. She is interested in the intersection of politics and lifestyle, experimental baking, learning new languages (although don't ask her about her love-hate relationship with Duo) and cuddling her dog Alfie. You can find her on Twitter @gillianONeill_
