TOP 5 ELECTION SONGS ft. Carl Kinsella

NO ENCORE

Vote early, and vote often. NO ENCORE returns with the final 'regular' episode of 2024, with the great Carl Kinsella for company.

As Ireland goes to the polls, it's time to focus on the often eyebrow-raising clash between politics and music as Carl delivers his shouts for the most interesting election-based audio material going.

Beforehand, a very busy news section taking in all the reaction to Kendrick Lamar stealing the weekend headlines, the continued slow death of cinema etiquette, and plenty more besides.

You can check out Carl's weekly 'Surrealing in the Years' column on The Journal here, and follow him on Bluesky, X, and Instagram if you so desire.
