Two Pints Media

  • Seán Hickey

My post-graduation project, Two Pints was a platform for myself to begin to look subjectively at the news and invite an audience to dissect news product and form their own agenda through unbiased and “devil’s advocate” style content. A podcasting channel, social media page and debate platform, Two Pints Media aims to grow into an alternative news source where the audience carries its own ideology and news dissemination to a space where ideas can be discussed in a non-judgemental and communal learning area. The project would not have reached the audience it has (~400 and growing) without the help of two good friends of mine. Blaine O’ Hara, a university classmate and friend has assisted in podcasting and content ideation while maintaining the project’s initial goals. Diarmuid Smyth, a longtime friend has also suggested ideas for debate alongside his work on graphic design for the project.
