Behind the Story: Nursing home care issues, the Trump-Musk breakup
The RTÉ Investigates documentary into care at one of Ireland's leading nursing home providers revealed multiple examples of care failings. On Behind the Story, Fran and Katie discuss the staff shortages and unsafe practices found in the programme and the questions raised about how older people are cared for. Meanwhile, the bromance between US President Donald Trump and Elon Musk ended abruptly after the tech boss criticised the president's "big, beautiful" tax and spending bill. In a statement, the White House called it an "unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the One Big Beautiful Bill because it does not include the policies he wanted". The Musk-Trump breakup sent Tesla's stock price plunging and could jeopardise US government contracts pledged to his companies. Adam Maguire joins the podcast to explain the money behind their relationship. You can listen to Katie and Fran's analysis on the situation on Behind the Story which is available on the RTÉ Radio Player.

Behind the Story: Inside Richard Satchwell's murder trial
The latest episode of Behind the Story looks at Richard Satchwell, who was found guilty of murdering his wife Tina earlier today. Fran and Katie are joined by RTÉ's Legal Affairs Correspondent Orla O'Donnell and Prime Time's Barry Cummins to reveal the inside story of the case. Back in 2017, Satchwell had claimed Tina was missing and made public pleas for her to come home. It was only the first of a flurry of lies that would continue right through his court appearances over the past weeks. Barry interviewed and met Satchwell on many occasions and he discusses his impressions of him and what it was like to interview inside the house where he and Tina lived. Orla gives an insight into what it was like attending the trial at the Central Criminal Court over the past five weeks. You can listen to their analysis on the situation on Behind the Story which is available on the RTÉ Radio Player.

Behind the Story: Surge in scams, and Springsteen annoys Trump
Latest garda figures have shown a surge in online fraud, as more fake websites, ticket hoaxes, and phishing texts are popping up. In the latest episode of Behind the Story, Fran and David are joined by Aengus Cox to go through what authorities say they are seeing, and how banks and tech companies are reacting to it. The team also take a look at the Donald Trump v Bruce Springsteen saga, as the veteran rock star has been taking aim at the administration while on his European tour. It seems the Boss has touched some nerves in the White House and with Trump, who has since threatened a "major investigation" into the "dried out prune of a rocker". You can listen to David, Katie, and Fran's analysis on the situation on Behind the Story which is available on the RTÉ Radio Player.
