The wondrous and magnificent website that is www.realreview.ie began life way back in October 2005, since when it has continued to spout forth venom and disdain on Ireland's popular culture. It's run by Nyder O'Leary, who claims to hail from the Planet Skaro and be desperately searching for a way off this godforsaken hole; in the meantime he amuses himself by producing this, emailing various radio shows with pithy comments, and - most recently - branching out into the world of podcasts with a friend who'd be upset if I named him. This all has a very serious intent, although we're not always sure exactly what it is.
Podcasts will be archived on the audio page - however, due to general tightness and a lack of server space, only the previous six issues will be available. C'mon, have you seen the file sizes? They're huge.
Please note that the earlier editions of the website were produced with the sole intention of making the reader physically ill - anything earlier than April 2006 should probably be avoided by migraine sufferers. And the full list of issues goes like this:-
June / July 2007: The Fragmented McVista
May 2007: Ireland Incorporated
April 2007: Democracy Inaction
March 2007: Celtic Underbelly - Back, Craic and Sac
January 2007: Advance of the Celtic Kipple
December 2006: Ignoring Ireland's Call
November 2006: Squeezing Society's Acne
September 2006: The Side-Splitting Reign of the Mortified
July / August 2006: The Sad Passing of Story (Special Mourning Issue)

May 2006: The Purple Heart of Crapness
April 2006: Mining the Celtic Bellybutton
February 2006: Revenge of the Senile Delinquents
