Youthpod Ireland

After a small but very busy break the YouthPod Ireland crew are back for our fourth season, talking all things youth related. We kick off our brand new season with a guest that we have aspired to bring to the show from day one - former Governor of Mountjoy Prison, John Lonergan.  John is a man with many fascinating stories and opinions that come from a career littered with incomparable insights into not just the prison system in Ireland but the very nature of human beings. We talk about compassion, humanity, honesty, integrity, punishment, perseverance, the difference between male and female prisoners, the role of youth work and schools in preventing early detention and so much more. John brings a wealth of experience, education and insight into a podcast episode that is packed to the brim with opportunities for learning. We are delighted to be back and thank every one of you for continued support. We hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as we enjoyed recording it.
