Unscripted with Niamh O'Connor

Episode 5 of Tangent Time is a full Electric Picnic debrief — the line-up, the internet outrage, and why no one is ever happy no matter who’s headlining.

Niamh breaks down why EP’s always been more than the music anyway (be so for real) and why Longitude is just not the vibe once you’re out of the teen TikTok trenches.

Plus: the real reason she might skip EP this year — going (nearly) sober, the pressure to drink in Ireland, and why festival camping is actually a form of torture. Should Unscripted do EP? Let us know!

Episode 84 is basically meant to be about Coachella… and somehow turns into a full-on pop culture yap session (with a few brutal truths thrown in).
Niamhs chats about why Coachella never appealed before, but this year has her ready to save 5 grand, hire stylists and go all out.
She breaks down the influencer “outfit reveal” pressure, give flowers to Charlene Murphy’s insane content grind, and shout out the best looks (Lucinda, Ami Charlize, Eabha O’Donoghue, and more).
Then it’s Bieberchella tears, Selena vs Hailey opinions, Alex Cooper vs Alex Earle “beef”, Molly-Mae x Adidas… and a rant about Americans car-camping like it’s a luxury Airbnb.

Episode 83 is with James Doyle (aka Protein Bar Papi) in studio — and it’s equal parts funny, honest and a little bit unhinged
James chats about how he actually started on TikTok, the body dysmorphia that pushed him into the gym, and why chasing the “perfect” physique can get unhealthy fast. We get into bulking/cutting fear, steroids pressure, and the whole “looksmaxxing / tiptoe maxxing” madness online.
Then we pivot to Japan: convenience stores on every corner, insane public transport rules, Mount Fuji, Universal, and why you absolutely cannot be jaywalking over there.
Plus: Tiny Tangent on the worst part of adulthood… having to feed yourself constantly.

It’s Tangent Time #4 and Niamh is not holding back — today’s topic is horse racing and greyhound racing, and after one question box, it’s clear people feel VERY strongly about it.
Niamh breaks down what she learned from an RTÉ deep dive: ex-racehorses being slaughtered, turned into dog food, exported as horse meat, and the huge amount of state support going into the industry.
Then it gets even darker with greyhound racing: overcrowded rescues, discarded dogs, malnourishment, and why Niamh thinks you cannot rationalise it.

Part Two of Niamh and Jeremy Dixon’s “opinion off” is basically one long, honest debate with zero filter, and it gets a little heated!
They go deep on OnlyFans — Niamh opens up about doing it for two years, how dark it can get, the pressure to go more graphic for more money, and the reality that the internet never forgets. They talk regret, exploitation, age limits, the hypocrisy of men who pay for it, and how it can follow you for life.
And Jeremy gives his perspective as a parent of two young daughters.
Then it’s onto vaping: quitting smokes, kids on strawberry air, popcorn lung, and why Jeremy thinks vapes are the worst invention ever.
Plus a new segment: Jeremy’s gives his Tiny Tangent on why workplace birthdays are pure cringe.
