In Frank's latest 'A SocietyVoice' (ASV) Podcast, Frank examines the case of Toforest Johnson who is currently on death row in Alabama. He examines the evidence and the overall campaign to secure a retrial for an innocent man. Frank then compares a recent UK case where after 38 years a man was released from a conviction of murder after evidence revealed that the DNA at the scene was not his. Frank poses a 'what if' the UK had the death penalty at the time he was convicted and what of the growing chorus to reignite the death penalty debate in the UK.

In Frank's latest 'A SocietyVoice' (ASV) Podcast, he explores the case of Anthony Boyd who was recently executed in Alabama. He explores the facts of the case and the State's response, including the bizarre examination by the US Supreme Court concerning the individual's choice or mode of execution. He explores also the rising risks in the UK for the return of the Death Penalty

In Frank's latest 'A MagdaleneVoice' (AMV) Podcast, he explores one the many questions now asked of him since the publication of his book, 'A Magdalene Rose'. He examines his own motivations and thoughts when writing the book and answers the question about whether the book or he himself, is anti-Catholic!

In Frank's Latest 'A MagdaleneVoice' (AMV) podcast, he explores the recent homily given about Tuam. He explores the opinions and facts expressed and measures them against the evidence, warning the need to be on guard for dissonant voices and the potential for historical amnesia.

In this episode of 'A Magdalene Voice' (AMV), Frank explores the issues of 'never again' or 'non-recurrence' by exploring the rise of baby boxes across Europe and the United States. He explores the language being used and the problem that could arise with historical amnesia. He calls for the authorities in Ireland to be courageous and deliver the true concept of 'never again' into a National Remembrance.

In my latest 'A MagdaleneVoice' Podcast, I reflect further on the proposed Irish National Centre for Research & Remembrance and the Irish Government's stated "commitment" to the human rights concept of "non-recurrence". I explore what appears to be a wall of silence during the last 151 days and the layers of solution that I have provided for this difficult problem. But at the core of these podcasts lays the question of "why" these vile Institutions existed. Politics. State & Church politics. I explore both, but give a particular focus on the politics of the Catholic Church. Here is the truth. Here is the solution. Will the Irish Government take up the challenge?

In my latest TravelVoice Podcast, I speak about the recent passing of a very remarkable Activist, Dr Susan Michaelis. Susan was at the forefront of advocating for change on fume and contamination events found on civil aircraft. In this Podcast, I share my memories of her work and how she went onto not only continue with that work but to also become a leading light in the Lobular Breast Cancer Campaign. If you want to understand the full nature of activism, the sacrifices made and also the qualities that were held by this remarkable woman, then take the time to listen in.

In my latest TravelVoice Podcast, I reflect on the wide discussions on Air Passenger Rights under EU Reg 261/2004, but also, the growing debate about whether airlines can charge you for your cabin-baggage. Whilst I guide you on those issues, I tell you about my recent experience on a low cost airline and wonder whether those who are making laws actually understand the experiences of ordinary Consumers because the airlines must surely do?

In my latest Podcast, I turn my eyes and thoughts to the conflict in Gaza. Travel and Tourism is the ultimate expression of friendship between two countries, but can travel ever be unconditional. Join me on a journey into the heart of travel ethics and the choices that we make. Let us examine the issues that lay at the heart of conflict and suffering, and determine how we should consider the consequences of our Consumer decisions. These are considerations of our time and time to reflect on my thoughts and guidance to Consumers.

In my latest Travel Podcast, I talk about the recent experiences of business and leisure holidaymakers from Europe, who have experienced detention at the US Border. I examine some of those cases and provide an overview on the things that UK holidaymakers should be thinking about and preparing for what will hopefully be a safe entry into the USA!

In my latest Podcast, I comment on the final meeting held in London (25/2/25) on the plans to create a National Centre for Research & Remembrance in Dublin. This new centre is being designed to commemorate all those who suffered within Ireland's Institutions (Industrial Schools, Mother and Baby Homes, Magdalen Laundries, Adoption etc). I discuss that London meeting and the outcome(s) for the Irish Government's stated aim to introduce "non-recurrence" into the Centre. I explore how that could be achieved and conclude that those responsible for the development of this National Centre need to embrace the difficulties of the past and deliver on their commitment to 'non-recurrence'! (Apologies to listeners. during the course of the recording, my dog was sleeping in the studio. She has a snuffly nose today and unbeknownst to me she was slightly snoring - if you listen very carefully, you can hear her. She too supports my opinions in this Podcast!)

In my latest Travel Podcast, I look at my own travel experiences and how it has shaped and informed me, set against the latest proposal to displace a people from its land and to create a new 'Riviera for the Middle-east'. I examine the morality of such a proposal and how I will react if it ever comes to pass.

In my latest Podcast I talk about what has happened since October 2024 and the submission of my Position Paper to the Irish Government, on 'non-recurrence' and its role in the forthcoming National Centre for Research & Remembrance. I talk about what 'non-recurrence' or 'never again' and how the new Centre should be ambitious in the delivery 'non-recurrence' and how Ireland should become a beacon for the whole world.

In my latest Podcast, I explore recent Consumer angst about their ethical concerns or worries about the world around them and their consumer-decisions. We are not dealing with the world of Travel-past, but of the here and now and quite possibly into the future. I explore what this means and how as Consumers, we can navigate such concerns and what we may or should do about such Consumer decisions, against the backdrop of the world's problems & destinations. Ultimately, the decisions are yours!
