Host Ireland Crimes and Mysteries
Nules is the creator and host of Ireland Crimes and Mysteries, one of Ireland’s fastest-growing true crime podcasts. Now part of the GoLoud network, the podcast continues to grow its loyal audience both in Ireland and internationally.
With a sharp investigative mind and a deep respect for victims, Nules tells the stories behind some of Ireland’s most difficult and often overlooked cases through clear reporting, thorough research, and a strong focus on ethical storytelling.
