Anybody who had a vision to bring American levels of political, cultural and social polarisation to Britain - whether their motive was clicks or cash, ideology, boredom or anything else - would make it their top strategic priority to abolish the BBC, or to damage and diminish it at the very least

Just discovered Fireside by Kevin C. Olohan and it's terrific. Reminds me there are so many great shows out there that still manage to slip through the cracks. If you fancy being regaled on Irish myths and the meaning behind them, this podcast is superb.
