Summary
Richie is joined by the author, journalist and broadcaster John Waters. Hundreds of Irish artists and musicians signed a petition to CANCEL a festival that aims to celebrate Irish culture, music, poetry and the Irish language. Yes, you read that right. The Mise Éire festival was scheduled to take place in Leitrim later this month, but the venue came under pressure from a woke mob and capitulated. The organisers have now secured a secret location for the event. John Waters will be attending and speaking at the festival and came on to discuss the implications of it all with Richie.
