The Niall Boylan Podcast (They Told Me To Shut Up) · Jul 23, 2025 · 44m

In this gripping episode, Niall reads out a real email from a listener caught between loyalty and legality. The listener's brother—already sitting on 9 penalty points—was caught speeding again and is now begging him to take the fall by accepting the penalty points on his own licence.

Niall opens the lines to callers, and the country weighs in.
