[PREVIEW] Goodbye Patreon

Shite Talk: A Bonus Irish History Podcast

Show Notes

Hello! We've hinted at this a bit but, for the past two months we've been finalising a deal with Headstuff and we're delighted to say we'll be officially joining their podcast network this month. Basically it means we'll be making more steady money, we'll have a fancy studio to use, but it also means we'll be shutting down the Patreon. We'll be back uploading regular episodes later this month, and you'll still have access to all the mainfeed bits as usual, but the bonus stuff will be over on Headstuff's platform, Headstuff+. We're going to leave the Patreon up for now with the payments turned off (so no one should be getting charged for it any more, please send me a message if you are!) and we'll keep uploading most of the bonus content to Patreon as we transition over, but eventually all the Cowboy Specials, the Film Clubs, the sequels, etc. will be exclusive to Headstuff+. We recorded this episode to catch up over the past few weeks, and in classic form I lost the SD card for a week then realised one of the mics wasn't turned on properly. This is why we need Headstuff to look after us. We'll have the Devil's Own Film Club episode out tomorrow (after I fix the audio) but we just wanted to thank you all for all your support over the last six years, and we're looking forward to getting these new episodes out soon! Thanks - Kevin & Jason

Hello, hope you enjoyed the first real episode on Tuesday! Here's another shite talk episode to catch up with what we're at, and plug some live shows we have coming up:

Sep 9, 2026

What a week it's been for the nation, a moment we'll all remember and cherish. Many people said the country wouldn't be able to band together and pack it out, but thanks to everyone who helped us fill our Mindfield tent at Electric Picnic.

Sep 3, 2026

Hello! Here's the audio from our live show at the Mindfield tent at Electric Picnic. We mostly talked about former president Cearbhall ó Dálaigh but there was some shite talk about early music festivals and Joe Dolan as well. You can follow the slide show along here if you like, it'll be feel like you were there in the room!

Aug 26, 2026

Hello, here's another episode of us talking shite about our upcoming Electric Picnic show, if you're going to the festival come say hi on Sunday morning!

Aug 18, 2026

Hello! We're back with another film club episode; Lenny Abrahamson's 2007 film Garage. Possibly Pat Short's debut as a serious film actor and by god it's depressing, but definitely worth a watch. We've also started a Letterboxd list of every Irish film we could think of if you want to check it, and feel free to leave suggestions for more movies below! This is the pool we'll be taking future film club episodes from.
