Marion McKeone pays tribute to her dear friend and Irish music icon Shane MacGowan who sadly passed away this week. Marion explains the origin of their friendship and what Shane meant to the Irish abroad. We hear her fondest memories and few things only those closest to him could ever know. In the second half of the episode on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad Marion examines the latest developments in Israel and Gazza, the Desantis dumpster fire and what we can learn from lawlessness in US cities after the Dublin riots.
