Our best explanations of 2024

Another year coming to an end means another year of explanations to look back on. This week on The Explainer, presenter Laura Byrne takes a look back at what we've covered over the past 12 months, where our reporters and guests have demonstrated their eye for detail and ability to break down complex stories in a clear and easy-to-understand way. That ranges from Israel's attacks on Lebanon to gender controversies in the Olympics — and even a fake parade in Dublin, which duped hundreds.

Thanks to all our listeners over the past year. If you have any feedback on the podcast, drop our producer Nicky an email on nicky@thejournal.ie.
