Belfast rap trio KNEECAP are being investigated by UK counter-terror police over comments made during past performances. But is the media missing the mark? The panel unpacks whether the controversy is a backlash against protest music, a distraction from the deepening crisis in Gaza, or both. The discussion focuses on public reaction, political response, and how music has long sparked uncomfortable conversations.


Also in this episode:

- The Government faces backlash over the so-called “Housing Czar” salary plan

- 39 people, including children, are deported to Georgia from Dublin

- A public appeal from the family of Michael Gaine, as Gardaí upgrade the investigation to homicide
