## Resource

In this episode, Mary explores a wide range of stories from the world of arts and culture. Our featured guest is celebrated spoken‐word artist Emmet O’Brien, known for viral pieces like The North Side and Dirty Dublin. With acclaimed books, performances across Europe, and projects ranging from mental-health murals in Temple Bar to poetry workshops in Mountjoy Prison, Emmet brings a powerful and unique voice to the programme. Mary also discusses the new ITV documentary “Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War”, which offers rare, first-hand testimony from IDF soldiers speaking out about their experiences in Gaza following the October 7th attacks. The film sheds light on the conduct of the war and the troubling accounts emerging from those who served. https://smashingtimes.ie/ https://dublinsouthfm.ie/ Hosted on Acast.
