Show Notes
Host Niall is joined by John McGuirk, editor of Gript Media, to discuss a new taxi company in Belfast that’s making headlines for offering a women-only service with female drivers. The company claims the initiative will help women feel safer while traveling, but not everyone agrees. The phone lines light up as callers share their views: many women support the idea, saying it offers peace of mind, while some male callers argue it unfairly suggests men can’t be trusted as drivers — pointing out that statistically, only a tiny percentage of women have ever experienced issues with male taxi drivers. Niall keeps the debate moving with sharp questions, contrasting opinions, and a lively exchange that gets to the heart of safety, equality, and perception.
