New show: NewsReal with Joe & Niall

Here's the live (and, later, archived) show link for today:
The Covid-19 pandemic, they told us, required that governments enforce unprecedented lockdowns and the effective shutting down of many aspects of normal life. But as things reopen and life returns to something like normal, what has the single greatest government intervention in people's lives cost society?

On this NewsReal podcast, Joe Quinn and Niall Bradley discuss some of the effects of lockdowns and their tremendous toll on people's lives.

I just wanted to say, that I really liked the last show. It was awesome! Great job! "Is that censorship? Are we being censored? Are our images being censored? Maybe they just don't like the way we look!" Haha. This is a great example, how you can transform a technical glitch into something entertaining, just by taking it with humor. Also great analysis as usual! Keep up the good work! 👍
 
Caught the first show - so nice to see you both back, and from a great new stage in which to do so (see the dog got away though ;-D). Look forward to your next production (which seems to be today).

Bravo guys!
 
Thank you Niall & Joe for gathering all those figures, odd reasonings and terrible tolls on humanity. Everyone hopes for accountability but of course that won't happen.

I'll only mention your shirt Joe because you did. Seems the fly was attracted to those juicy pineapples. Looking forward to your next show.
 
Really enjoyed this show guys...although it is making the madness of lockdown more real than any of us could have believed, with the analysis of the figures and stats. I am wondering if BoJo's determination to end restrictions in England on the 19th is going to herald another lockdown when it all goes horribly wrong...what the PTB are hoping for I am sure. "Set the sheep free for a short time to mingle and make merry and then corral them again".
 
Great show. Cutting thru all the BS and obfuscation of the PTB and MSM to find that core of truth is what you guys do so well and consistently. Waiting with baited breath for the next show.
BTW Joe, for accessories you need a straw boater and lei to go with your shirt, and a surfboard leaning against the wall of the studio.
ALOHA!:rockon: :cool:
