May 14, 2022 Julie Garland: Come Fly With Me
Julie Garland is an Irish entrepreneur unlike any other and the woman leading Ireland’s charge in the new age of aviation. Not only is she the founder and CEO of Avtrain (Europe's leading drone Pilot and Operator training and certification body) but she travelled the world working in every aspect of the flying industry. From engineer to pilot, compliance and management, Julie's life took a twist one day when a nephew put a drone controller in her hands at Christmas. The rest as they say history. Jarlath asks the former barrister about the new frontier of drone use and how it is expected to feature in the 2027 Ryder Cup. Can the public's preconceived ideas of autonomous flight be overcome? Julie Garland knows every angle of this remarkable business and machinery.

May 13, 2022 Has America Lost All Faith? (Eastham’s Emails, Cali Guns For Teenagers Law, Starbucks Grandé Union & More): Irishman In America With Marion McKeone
A new poll reveals that voting Americans are losing confidence in institutions such as the Supreme Court, Democrats have their attempt to enshrine abortion rights in federal law blocked and John Eastman’s emails paint a colourful picture of his attempt to undermine the 2020 election result. It’s a packed slate of news from the States in this week’s Irishman in America and Marion pulls no punches. The Starbucks Union situation and a shocking new report about the systematic killing of Native American children in government run schools get discussed in the extended cut on Patreon. And finally Marion recommends a great new book that might just lift your spirits this weekend.

May 07, 2022 Tony Cascarino (Returns)
Tony Cascarino is back to finish what Jarlath began in 2013. A conversation reflecting on life, football post Covid, the loss and impact of Jack Charlton, his tumultuous relationship with Roy Keane and lots more. Cas devoted his life to football and Ireland but things took a turn after he wrote an autobiography with friend of the show Paul Kimmage. Together Jarlath and Tony finally set the record straight.

May 06, 2022 This Week In America (Can Roe v Wade Change Everything? Vance, Thiel, Depp & The Supreme Court) Irishman In America With Marion McKeone
A leak is a very rare thing when it comes to the Supreme Court but it has been a week of rare things in America. One time Trump critic, JD Vance stormed to victory in Ohio with the help of Peter Thiel’s chequebook and an admission that he says stupid things in public. While the whole country remained glued to a celebrity car crash trial like no other, Democrats are counting on their base getting so angry about the possible overturning of abortion laws that they will get to the polls in November. Marion is not so sure. Can feelings of that kind can be sustained and harnessed for that long in a world of scrolling outrage that changes week to week? Finally Jarlath asks Marion why the world can’t seem to look away from Amber Heard and Johnny Depp publicly mutilating each other in a Virginia Courthouse.

If you have a question you’d like to submit for Marion it’s easy, email irishmanabroadpodcast@gmail,com or send a voice memo to the Liveline on 0044 7543 122 330.

May 03, 2022 Irishman Running Abroad with Sonia O’Sullivan: ”When The Going Gets Tough” (Sonia’s Guide To Building Resilience)
Whether it’s Katie Taylor grabbing her title from the jaws of defeat or a club runner like Ellis Cross beating Mo Farah in the Vitality 10000, examples of mental toughness were all around us this past weekend. But what exactly is this quality? Is it a skill? Can it be coached or built? Who better to ask than the woman who made the whole country feel like “it ain’t over til it’s over” every time she took off from the starter’s pistol. Sonia takes me on a deep dive into her thoughts on the strange and evolving subject of resilience. Whether you’re a runner or not, you need to hear this. We also grabbed some sights and sounds from the Vitality event just hours before recording this chat. I spoke to Trevor Cummins, Paul Brennan and Paul Downing about an epic Irishman Running Abroad meetup event.

April 30, 2022 Nicola Tallant: Breaking The Silence
Nicola Tallant is the award winning Irish crime journalist, writer and podcast behind books such as Clash Of The Clans, Flesh & Blood and The Witness which told the tragic story Joey “The Lips” O’Callaghan. She has made it her life’s work to report on Ireland’s most violent criminals, drug gangs and the wider issues of criminality. When you read her work and listen to her podcasts it’s not hard to see why she is the three time (and current) holder of the Irish Crime Journalist of the Year title. In this conversation I had the chance to ask about current state of Ireland and its drug epidemic, her introduction to the crime journalism and why she is never scared. In the extended cut (Patreon) we have the space and time to talk about the newer crime bosses such as Mr Flashy and what makes them different, verifiable truth and her instinct when looking a source in the eyes, and much more.

April 29, 2022 Elon, Amber & Don (The War On Truth & Who Gets Heard) Irishman In America With Marion McKeone
From the Ukraine to Virginia, the battle over which version of the truth is more correct has raged this week while Elon Musk learns why even he doesn’t want absolute free speech. I interrupt Marion’s well earned holiday in Ireland to get her take on what just happened with Twitter, that interview with Piers Morgan, the US policy change in Ukraine, history making droughts in California and the Johnny Depp she used to know. There is a lot packed into this one. If you have a question you’d like to submit for Marion it’s easy, email irishmanabroadpodcast@gmail,com or send a voice memo to the Liveline on 0044 7543 122 330.

April 26, 2022 Irishman Running Abroad with Sonia O’Sullivan: ”The Best Way To 10K” (With Special Guest Coach Trevor Cummins)
Nobody knows 10,000 metres quite like the record holder and legend Sonia O’Sullivan. She talks to me today about why this distance can be so tricky to run fast and so much fun to train for. With only a week to go until the Vitality 10,000 in London, a race Sonia has run in the past, we dial in coach Trevor Cummins in Cobh. He explains why we all need to find out where we are with 10K before heading out and trying to run it as fast as possible. Sonia reveals a cheeky little equation you can use to calculate your best time and I have a revelation about why I am tanking in all my long runs! We head around the parishes to see what our listeners have been running, get Sonia’s tip of the week and much more. Why not get the full episode with even more advice on the sessions that work best for 10K training by becoming a supporter of Irishman Abroad on patreon.com/irishmanabroad
