An Irishman Abroad

This week, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor makes his much-anticipated return to An Irishman Abroad. A lot has happened in Tom's life and career since his first appearance on the show almost 7 years ago. 

Tom tells us about his incredible Marvel experiences which includes a hilarious audition tape story (34:00) and he also details his role as Colm in Rialto and what it was like working alongside Peter Mackie Burns - the director who was not afraid to call bullshit on him (4:00).

Tom opens up about his battle with nerves while staring in the one-man show Howie the Rookie (27:00), the challenge of finding a good work-life balance (49:00) before finally teasing his exciting new project Frank of Ireland alongside Domhnall and Brian Gleeson (59:00). 

This is just a taster. To hear this episode in full and to gain access to the entire back-catalogue of over 350 Irishman Abroad episodes that are not available on iTunes for just the price of a pint every month visit www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad.

Marion McKeone walks us through the Bob Woodward tapes and why new questions are being raised about the timing of their release. Jarlath quizzes Marion on whether this revelation has the components necessary for a political storm. 

Referring to fallen service men and women as “suckers” and “losers” might move the needle with even the most staunch of Trump diehards. There’s also a deep dive into the Nancy Pelosi’s threat to the U.K. and the wild fires out west.

If you have a question for Marion please send it through to [email protected] and Jarlath will do his best to include it next week.

Running is mental. In this latest instalment of An Irishman Running Abroad with Sonia O'Sullivan, Sonia explains the importance of mental fitness, the challenge of getting out the door while also providing some nutrition advice ahead of a run.

Sonia also discusses the phenomenon of being either a morning or evening runner, how therapy can be found in running before addressing the nose-or-mouth-breathing debate. Jarlath also gets embarrassed in front of the class!

Grotesque comments comparing police who kill innocent people to golfers choking under pressure barely made a ripple this week as the attacks on truth came thick and fast. In fact, those comments were almost forgotten about in 24 hours. Jarlath asks Marion McKeone why these obvious distraction tactics work and what they are an attempt to distract us from. Donald Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr formed the world’s worst fake news tag team this week to encourage voters to attempt election fraud. Jarlath asks Marion to explain who exactly Bill Barr is and how he came to be the Attorney General.  

There’s our listener question of the week, An examination of polling methods and a new look into Trump’s resignation to the spread of Coronavirus. This episode is jam packed.

If you have a question for Marion please send it through to [email protected] and Jarlath will do his best to include it next week.
