As I slowly come up on my book launch (in September) I'm going to Tweet some articles I wrote that I still like. Here's a very personal one I wrote about Love Island for example: https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-radio-web/love-island-farewell-to-the-fantastical-hunktopia-1.3166370
And here's an essay called The Meaning of Poldark Striding Out of the Sea https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/the-meaning-of-poldark-striding-topless-out-of-the-sea-1.3530577
And here's one about The Great British Bake Off, back when baking was a gentle diversion and not an apocalyptic coping strategy https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-radio-web/the-great-british-bake-off-is-back-and-patrick-freyne-is-hungry-1.2307532
And @IrishEcocritic has just reminded me of this one about Magnum PI and Murder She Wrote and Criminal Minds https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-radio-web/patrick-freyne-remembering-a-time-when-murder-was-fun-and-shorts-were-skimpy-1.2195130
Some more articles from the olden days to add to this thread. Here are a few on "politics" https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-radio-web/now-that-the-end-is-nigh-it-s-finally-time-to-review-donald-trump-1.2807589
More on "politics" https://www.irishtimes.com/culture/tv-radio-web/patrick-freyne-the-unthinkable-as-it-happened-on-tv-1.2861126
And this is probably my most incisive piece of political analysis https://www.irishtimes.com/life-and-style/people/justin-trudeau-and-nine-other-hot-politicians-1.3141742
