Essential listening.

If you haven’t already done so, then there’s no excuse not to check out JOE’s newest show Ireland Unfiltered with Dion Fanning, which won Best Podcast at the 2019 Digital Media Awards over the weekend.

It’s the second year in a row one of our podcasts has won the award with The GAA Hour bringing home the gold in 2018.

Ireland Unfiltered has gone from strength to strength since it started late last year, featuring stripped back and honest conversations with some of the biggest names in Ireland.

From Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and actor Liam Cunningham to Senator Lynn Ruane and comedian Tommy Tiernan, the episodes are entertaining, insightful and always offer a new perspective as Dion Fanning delves deep into the characters of each of the guests.

New episodes of Ireland Unfiltered are released every Tuesday in time for your morning commute with some of the memorable moments to date including:

Micheál Martin stating the housing crisis is a ‘class issue’, which led to Leo Varadkar being questioned about it on The Late Late Show.

Liam Cunningham revealing what he will miss most about Game of Thrones now that filming is finished and the new series is just weeks away.

And Eamon Dunphy going to town on the Irish government last week.
