This is the one which started it all!

The Shrapnel Podcast aims to explore the complexities of loyalism and unionism in Northern Ireland, providing a platform for voices often unheard in mainstream media. The hosts, Gareth Mulvenna and Sam McIlwaine, discuss their motivations for starting the podcast, the importance of addressing trauma, and the need for a nuanced understanding of cultural narratives. They emphasise the significance of giving a voice to the community and challenging stereotypes while fostering open conversations about the past and present.
