In Episode 2 of Season 3, The Big Mouse and The A-Train attempt to tie in a conversation about not connecting to Irish Culture with a dilemma The Big Mouse is facing about which type of school to send his child to. Does this ham-fisted attempt to make a cohesive discussion about two semi-related points work? The Listener can decide.   Get in touch on X @feckology

Season 3 of Feckology kicks off with The Big Mouse and The A-Train (new season, new moniker) alleging to talk about people management - but mostly taking swipes at Gen Z and overgeneralising wildly. Business as usual.

Join the BM and Prof T for the ultimate episode of season 2. In this bonanza special, we reflect on the highs and lows of season two, a mysterious and important revelation from the BM, and we respond to the fabulous feedback from the listening community. Thank you, listener. That's a proverbial wrap for Season 2!

In the penultimate episode of Season 2, The Big Mouse and Professor T share their own cautionary tales of mentorship gone horribly wrong. From misguided professional guidance, to brotherly-figures living dangerously, to academic mentors who seemed more interested in their own research than their students' success, they reveal how their own experiences as mentees turned into unforgettable disasters. Get ready for a rollercoaster of misadventures, as The Big Mouse and Professor T offer laughs, lessons, and the hard truths they learned the hard way.

Based on listener suggestions, we discuss St Paddy's Day, Play, Seasons and other topical claptrap! Thank you, listener - this made us "giddy" (in-joke that you will only get if you listen to the proverbial episode).
