Robert Delaney hasn't spoken to anyone in 17 years.

He was left with catastrophic brain damage.

After he was gunned down by a hitman, hired to kill him,

on the orders of a psycho-distant Republican,

furious he'd broken up a pub fight.

He'll never do more than lie in his bed or sit in his chair, utterly reliant on the kindness of others

for his every basic need.

He's neither living nor dead.

And this is his story.

She never heard his voice.

And that's what she cries about.

I don't know what my daddy sounds like.

From the producers of the Kinnahans and the Stardust tragedy,

This is Robert, is an Irish son podcast.

On Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Hi, Damien Lane here.

I want to introduce you to a podcast series

that I know as followers and listeners of the Kinnahans you'll be interested in.

It's called Cocaine Inc.

And it's a joint venture from the Times, the Sunday Times and News Corr, Australia.

It's a fantastic investigation of the global cocaine trade.

The journalism is top-notch and it's well worth to listen.
