The Hard Shoulder with Ciara Kelly and Shane Coleman is where the day’s stories are tested, challenged and debated. As the day draws to a close, Shane and Ciara’s proven partnership bring the issues that have shaped the national conversation into focus.  With lively exchanges, strong opinions, a sharp sense of humour and lighter moments along the way, the show blends politics, social issues and real-life perspectives  Informed, opinionated and entertaining, The Hard Shoulder is the smart way to unwind and process the day before it’s done.
