Niall Breslin, also known as Bressie, came into studio this week for a chat about everything from his decision to quit rugby for music to meeting Oasis and Will.I.Am. He even revealed why he'd never go back on The Voice.

Niall has released a new podcast called the Madman's Hotel which explores Ireland's history with mental health care, particularly focusing on St. Loman's in his home town of Mullingar. He spoke about the project and the impact this institution still has on the families who's loved ones were patients there.

We want to bring you news of a very exciting new project from the team here at GoLoud, in collaboration with the team behind the hugely successful series “The Witness” – crime journalist Nicola Tallant and producer Ian Maleney.
It’s a new 8-part true crime series called "The Gambler", it’s released today and we think it might become your next true crime obsession. We think you’ll love it, so we wanted you to hear about it from us first.
The story begins off as Nicola gets a phone call from a prisoner in an Irish prison, who says he has some information she might be interested in. But what came after, as Nicola kept speaking to this man - Pat Sheedy - would prove to be even more interesting. That phone call started a journey into the darkest reaches of addiction, crime and deception – and into the life of a man battling demons, with a lot of ups and downs.
We think you’ll be excited to check it out.
The Gambler is a GoLoud Original and it is out now.

In this week's bonus, a listener gets in touch to share her own Rant of the Week after a bad experience with a creepy man at her gym. And it's safe to say it makes Charleen's rant about scary films and Ellie's rant about people crossing the road slowly look fairly mild.
And she's not the only listener who got in touch for this bonus episode - There's also the weekly dilemma, in which one girl feels she is the only thing keeping her friend group together.

Seanagh underwent a mastectomy, c-section and chemotherapy all within a few weeks of each other - A huge toll for anyone. She opened up about how the experience affected her both physically and mentally.
Seanagh's cancer was thankfully caught while still manageable and demonstrates the importance of breast checks and regular screenings. For information about breast cancer and self checks, please visit www.breastcancerireland.com
