Ireland Crimes and Mysteries

Most Irish women in the 1950s faced impossible choices: a criminalized abortion, the judgment of a society that refused to accept their reality, and a legal system that turned tragedy into murder. But behind the headlines and courtrooms lies a heartbreaking story of a desperate mother, Helen O'Reilly, who trusted the wrong person and paid the ultimate price. Her death wasn't just an accident; it was a reckless act driven by a system that left her with nowhere to turn. Join Nules as we navigate this tragic story.

Hi! Nules here. I just wanted to drop in with a recommendation.
If you find it difficult nodding off after the show, or just want to relax to the ambient sounds of some of Ireland's most scenic spots, we want to introduce you to GoLoud's latest original stream - GoLoud Sleep Sounds.
This specialized series is a calming collection of immersive 10-hour soundscapes, with each episode carefully tailored for anyone looking for a calmer bedtime routine. The long-form, entirely uninterrupted audio is designed specifically to create a soothing, protected environment that can be played through the night or as a calming backdrop during moments of rest and relaxation.
Within this stream, there is no talking, no suspenseful stories, and absolutely no commercial interruptions to startle you awake. Instead, Sleep Sounds atmosphericially transports your senses to landscapes across Ireland, from the cadence of the waves at Curracloe Beach in spring and Howth Harbour at sunset, to the isolated Midlands on a stormy night, the wind through the Wicklow Mountains in winter, or the deep shadows of Dublin after dark.
This soothing ambience flows continuously through the night, allowing you to completely switch off the outside world.
GoLoud Sleep Sounds is available now on the GoLoud app or wherever you get your podcasts.
Simply press play, put the phone down, and let it do the rest.
