Opinions Matter is the brainchild of award-winning broadcasters Adrian Kennedy and Jeremy Dixon. On each episode the lads will debate the big stories of the day, highlight listener concerns, local issues and discuss the weird and wacky stuff going on in their lives
Episodes
A horrific video from Ballymun sparked a rumour that “three Somalians were spit-roasting a dog in a field" — and the story exploded across social media and even into the UK.
In this episode, Adrian and Jeremy call it out as “absolute bollocks”, asking one simple question: where’s the proof? With the NSPCA confirming they investigated burnt remains, and eyewitness Keith describing melted wheelie-...
Today on Opinions Matter, we heard from a Garda in North Dublin who said he is fed up with members of the public branding Gardaí as "traitors" simply for policing anti-immigration protests. He insisted that Gardaí are just doing the job they're sworn to do, regardless of the issue.
But during the programme, everything changed when another person claiming to be a Garda sent us a message that stunned both the presenters and listeners....
This week on Opinions Matter, Adrian and Jeremy tackle the huge verdict in the Parnell Square case: Riyadh Bouchaker has been found guilty of the attempted murder of three children.
With the comments section exploding, the question is simple — should he serve his sentence in an Irish prison, or should his Irish citizenship be revoked and he be deported to Algeria?
Live callers don’t hold back: outrage, tal...
Amy from Co. Meath says what she witnessed in a piercing parlour was “nothing short of child abuse”: a baby, only a couple of months old, screaming while getting her ears pierced. She wants it banned in Ireland.
Adrian argues it’s quick pain a baby won’t remember, and some say it’s cultural and best done young in a reputable studio. Jeremy isn’t having it, calling it unnecessary and not th...
In this special episode, Adrian and Jeremy sit down to give their opinions on McGregor's appearance on Jimmy Fallon.. They don't hold back on what they think of him
It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” edition.. Sometimes a bit rude... but always funny! On this episode... Jeremy is not happy with the waiting room of his Doctors surgery... And Katie has disgusting nails.. Allegedly! Strictly over 18's
Is Hugging someone you work with now considered sexual assault?
A listener got in touch after getting a written warning in work… over a two‑second hug. He says a colleague going on holidays reported him to HR for “unsolicited and nonconsensual contact” and it could have ruined his career..
20 minutes before we were about to record this podcast, our Katies phone rang. It was her friend. She had just been out walking with her dog in Sandymount when a child approached them and the unthinkable happened....
A debate about allowing drug users to carry drugs for personal use, took a different turn when the sister of a former addict revealed how her house, her family and her own child were threatened by dealers over her brothers debt
A Dublin mum of 3 caused war on today's pod after suggesting that the government should fund summer camps for parents strugglng on welfare. Her plea for extra money didn't go down well with the callers. Take a listen
A listener called “Mandy” claims that open drug dealing is happening from a house on Cardiffsbridge Road in Finglas — most evenings, in plain sight, with cars (and even delivery drivers) calling in. She is temped to report it... but is that a wise move? Listen to find out.
It’s the weekend “Get It Off Your Chest” edition — the most random corner of Opinions Matter where literally anything can come up… and it does.
Adrian and Jeremy swap regrets, from giving up the smokes too late to Jeremy’s heartbreak over never going to his Debs (including the brutal reason why). Then it gets even weirder when he discovers, via old wallpaper, that he once had an imaginary...
A “citizen journalist” goes viral after filming outside Tallaght Hospital and losing the plot over one thing: the Pride flag flying on the flagpoles during Pride Month. Adrian and Jeremy bring Philip Dwyer on to ask him straight — how can a rainbow flag be “anti-Christian”, “anti-family” and “pro-abortion”
Casper is raging after discovering his 8-year-old son’s best mate has been signed up to a boxing club — he said “moron parents” are turning kids into “little hard men”.
Adrian and Jeremy ask the big question: is kids’ boxing about discipline, confidence and fitness — or are we literally teaching children to punch someone in the head?
Angela says it’s “disgust...
Sabrina got in touch after her 10-year-old daughter asked could they bring her to next weekend’s Dublin Pride Parade — her auntie is gay and marches every year. Sabrina thought it was a harmless day out… until friends started warning it would “brainwash” kids and claiming “everyone goes naked”.
Adrian and Jeremy debate whether Pride is just like the St Patrick’s Day parade &md...
Niamh emails in raging about the amount of people taking “fat jabs” like Ozempic and Mounjaro, calling them the “lazy way out” and saying weight loss should be done the old-fashioned way — diet and exercise.
Adrian argues it’s nobody’s business how someone loses weight, once they’re healthier. Jeremy isn’t having it, saying people don’t deserve praise if “the ...
A Nigerian mother living in Ballyfermot is furious after her young son was subjected to an alleged racist remark during a disagreement with another child over the weekend.
What began as a typical row between children took a shocking turn when a racist attack was directed at her son, leaving him upset and his mother deeply hurt and angry.
The Nigerian-born mum says she later approached the other child's mother to challenge what had h...
