The Niall Boylan Podcast (They Told Me To Shut Up)

OnlyFans: Would You Sell Your Body for Money?
In this episode, Niall is joined by sex coach and expert Claity Mills to discuss a new survey revealing that 18.1% of young Brits would consider uploading content to adult subscription platform OnlyFans to make money.
That's almost one in five young people who would consider turning their bodies and sexuality into a source of income. But what does this say about changing attitudes towards sex, privacy, relationships and money?
For some, OnlyFans represents empowerment, financial independence and the freedom to take control of their own bodies. For others, it raises troubling questions about the normalisation of pornography, the sexualisation of young people and the long-term consequences of sharing intimate content online.
Niall and Claity explore whether social media, celebrity culture and the promise of easy money are encouraging a generation to view sexual content as just another career opportunity. They also discuss the potential impact on future relationships, self-esteem and employment, and whether people truly appreciate that once intimate content is online, it may never completely disappear.
Are we witnessing a worrying shift in society's attitudes towards sex and self-respect, or are older generations simply being judgemental about a new way of making money?
And perhaps the most uncomfortable question of all: How would you feel if your own son, daughter or partner decided to make money on OnlyFans?

Should People Accused of Sexual Offences Remain Anonymous?
In this episode, Niall speaks to former UK Conservative MP Harvey Proctor, a man who knows firsthand the devastating consequences of false allegations. Harvey has twice found himself at the centre of serious allegations which he maintains were false, with both experiences having a profound impact on his reputation, career and personal life.
The discussion follows the controversy surrounding comedian and author David Walliams, who has been publicly named after losing a High Court battle to prevent the publication of allegations of sexual misconduct, including claims involving girls as young as 15. Walliams strongly denies the allegations and insists he has broken no law.
But should someone's reputation and livelihood be put at risk before they have even been charged with a crime, never mind convicted?
Supporters of publicly naming suspects argue that publicity can encourage other potential victims to come forward, helping police establish whether there is a wider pattern of offending. Critics argue that once an accusation becomes public, the damage can be irreversible, even if the person is subsequently cleared.
Drawing on Harvey Proctor's personal experiences, Niall explores the devastating impact of false accusations, the presumption of innocence, the rights of alleged victims and the responsibilities of the police and media.
Should anyone accused of a sexual offence be entitled to anonymity until proven guilty, or does protecting potential victims and the wider public justify naming suspects before a trial?

In this episode, Niall speaks to callers about a family dilemma that has divided one household and raises difficult questions about parenting, responsibility and unconditional love.
An 18-year-old girl has told her parents that she's four months pregnant by her 20-year-old boyfriend, but her mother's reaction has sparked a major family row.
With two other children already living at home, the mother says she simply cannot cope with another baby under her roof. She has told her daughter that if she's old enough to become a mother, she's old enough to take responsibility, move out and find a home with her boyfriend before the baby arrives.
But her husband is furious. He believes his wife is being heartless and argues that their daughter needs love, guidance and support now more than ever. He wants to welcome their future grandchild into the family home.
The mother, however, refuses to back down.
Is she teaching her daughter a valuable lesson about personal responsibility, or abandoning her at a time when she needs her parents most?
Niall asks whether parents have a moral obligation to support their adult children regardless of the circumstances, or whether there comes a point when young adults must face the consequences of their decisions.
If your 18-year-old daughter came home pregnant, would you open your doors to her and the baby, or tell her it's time to stand on her own two feet?
Callers share their experiences and opinions in what promises to be a passionate debate about tough love, family obligations and where parental responsibility ends.

In this episode, Niall is joined by journalist and commentator Laura Perrins to discuss a deeply divisive question about family loyalty, unconditional love and forgiveness.
Russell Brand has been sentenced to 10 and a half years in prison after being convicted of rape and three sexual assaults. Despite the guilty verdict, his wife and father continue to stand by him, with his father even suggesting that Russell is the real victim.
But how far should family loyalty go? If your husband or son was convicted of rape, could you still love and support him, or would his actions destroy your relationship forever?
Niall and Laura explore whether a parent's love should truly be unconditional, whether standing by a convicted criminal means excusing their actions, and whether forgiveness is possible even for the most terrible crimes.
Is there a difference between loving someone and defending what they've done? And should there ever be a crime so serious that even your own family turns its back on you?
A thought-provoking discussion about the limits of family loyalty and whether blood really is thicker than water.

Should You Have the Right to Know What Your Work Colleagues Are Earning?
Imagine you've worked for the same company for 20 years, only to discover that a new employee doing exactly the same job is earning €20,000 more than you. Would you be furious, or is what someone else earns none of your business?
In this episode, Niall talks to callers about new pay transparency laws expected to be introduced in Ireland in 2027, requiring employers to disclose salary ranges in job advertisements.
The new rules are designed to tackle pay inequality, particularly between men and women, but the Government has been criticised for delaying their introduction.
For jobseekers, knowing the salary before applying could be a welcome change. But what happens when existing staff discover that new recruits are being offered more money than they're earning?
And should employees have the right to know what their colleagues are paid, or should salaries remain a private matter between employers and individual staff?
The proposed rules would also allow workers to request average salary information for colleagues doing comparable work, potentially exposing uncomfortable differences in pay.
Could salary transparency finally deliver fairness in the workplace, or will it create jealousy, resentment and conflict between colleagues?
Niall opens the phone lines to hear what listeners think. Would you be happy for everyone in your workplace to know what you earn, and would you want to know what they're getting paid?
