2. "Believe in Your Dreams"
Welcome back to A Few Scoops - A news podcast that keeps you informed but not exhausted!
After Greta Thunberg was arrested by Israeli forces along with all those onboard the Gaza bound aid boat the Madleen, Aoife explains the importance of symbolic gestures and why no one from the country that produced Bono and Bob Geldof should give out about celebrity activism.
In other news - There's a housing crisis in Ireland! Colm recounts how things have changed since he first moved out of home and together we ask whether the Government's proposed changes to rent pressure zones will help decrease rates of homelessness or costs of rents.
Previously peaceful protests against deportations in LA which quickly devolved into riots amid the heavy handed response from the White House is the other big story of the week - And Colm and Aoife also look at the causes and the impacts of US President Trump and billionaire Elon Musk's petty fallout last week.
And in his good news story of the week, Colm teaches us that you can achieve anything you set your mind to, including but not limited to, leading a government terror prevention team at just 22 with no experience. Or maybe that just applies to Trump's newest appointee Thomas Fulgate?
