TheJournal.ie's Stardust podcast nominated for two prestigious awards

The six-part podcast has been nominated in the Celtic Media Festival and New York Radio Festival awards.

A SIX-PART podcast series from TheJournal.ie has been nominated at two prestigious awards ceremonies.

Stardust is an in-depth look at one of the most tragic events in modern Irish history – from the very beginning right up to the present day.

Featuring testimonies from people there on the night, first responders who rushed to the scene and journalists who covered it then and now, the podcast has been described as ‘devastating and important’ by The Guardian and has a five-star rating on Apple Podcasts.

In the past week, Stardust has been nominated for an award at the New York Festival Radio Awards and the Celtic Media Festival. 

Entrants from over 40 countries made submissions to the New York Festival Radio awards, with the shortlist announced just this week.

Stardust sits alongside the likes of ESPN’s 30 for 30 series and entries from Sky News, the Washington Post and Bloomberg in the Narrative/Documentary Podcast category.

In the Celtic Media Festival 2020, Stardust is up for best radio documentary in competition with entries from the BBC and RTÉ.

    This scumbag was the FF Press Secretary for years. Even the flippin secretaries in FF are crooked. Will we ever see FF HQ’s being raided for evidence, will their party treasurers be brought in over the last 20 years to explain how party funds can so readily fund personal expenses by their leaders and leading party members.

    Don’t let these crooks spin that Mahon was a loser for the state, it cost 350mn, way too mucvh but it brought in nearly a billion in tax, fines and penalties.

    Fair play to the FBI for not accepting payment for the good work they did, THEY OBVIOUSLY KNEW THEY WERE ON THE TRAIL OF A SLEAZY CROOKED SCUMBAG CRIMINAL.

    I think it’s time the State decides that the thoroughly corrupt organisation known as Fianna Fail be shut down.
    All the way up to it’s very leaders it has shown breathtaking corruption and perjury.

    The mind boggles that FF TD’s, party treasurers and key donors are not having the Garda fraud squad beating down their door this morning. There are few countries in the democratic world that would allow an org. as consistently corrupt as FF to exist or be tolerated by the honest majority.
