Mention the 10-legged hen, you endless Brendan's.

Welcome to the Blind By podcast.

If this is your first episode, consider going back to an earlier podcast.

And if you're a regular listener, you know the crack.

This is a pre-recorded podcast because I don't know if you can tell from my voice, but I'm under the weather

this week. I'm sick. I have a chest infection. So I recorded this last Saturday because I can just

tell. I know that I won't have a voice tomorrow and it is unlikely that I'll be able to do a full

hot take. But what I will be able to do a full hot take.

But what I will be doing, I have a live podcast, a fucking banger of a live podcast that

I intended to keep in the vaults and release it maybe next month or the month after.

But I'm going to release it this week because it's relevant.

I had a chat with an absolutely fascinating person.

I had this chat two weeks ago at Wellfest.

Dr. Veronica O'Kine, who's a retired psychiatrist, Emeritus, from Trinity College. She's not just a psychiatrist, heritus from Trinity College.

She's not just a psychiatrist, her work intersected with neuroscience.

But on top of that, she's an activist, a very serious activist for social justice.

She was a massive professional voice for women's reproductive rights during the referendum.

And last year she was on board the flotilla that tried to deliver aid, humanitarian aid, to the people of Gaza that were experiencing a genocide.

I never used that word lightly.

I always point out when I say the word genocide.

Amnesty International have called it a genocide.

The United Nations Human Rights Council
