Topics covered : Crimeworld, fraudsters, the Regency Hotel shooting, The Kinahans, Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch, being a mother, resilience. I'm joined by crime journalist, author and podcaster Nicola Tallant. Nicola is a Mum of two and has been working in journalism since she was just nineteen and over the years she’s become one of the most respected and trusted voices in Irish crime reporting, as well as the host of the chart topping podcast Crime World. This week marks ten years since the Regency Hotel shooting a period that was particularly intense for Nicola, and in this conversation we reflect on that time, what it was like covering organised crime up close, and the pressure and responsibility that comes with telling these stories. But beyond all of that, what really stood out to me was Nicola herself. She’s relaxed, compassionate and great craic. Honestly, the perfect guest and I think you’re going to enjoy this one. Another podcast to listen to (mentioned during the chat) : Ger Redmond : Being a good role model It's a powerful listen about turning your life around. Hosted on Acast.
