Super Bowl Weekend Washington Shenanigans Special - Irishman In America
Friday Feb 09, 2024
Friday Feb 09, 2024
The big football game hasn't even kicked off and Marion's voice is already as good as gone. She puts on a show of guts in today's podcast as she joins comedian Jarlath Regan to talk about the week's latest news. Is Taylor Swift working for the Defence Department, is LA about to be washed away and will Tucker get his interview with Putin? Most importantly Donald Trump's attempts to convince the world that he should be allowed do whatever he likes because he was once the President look to be over. In yet another calamitous week for the GOP Mike Johnson ran from the building, Mitch showed his hand and Biden learned how to rattle the man before he throws the football.

Is it all over? Nikki Hayley doesn’t think so. Is Fani Willis’s RICO case all over? She doesn’t seem to think so. Only one person can make sense of the campaign trail and all the news from America this week. It’s the Sunday Business Post Washington correspondent Marion McKeone. This week she takes listener questions and tries to predict as best she can, what happens next.

The Road To Cobh Week 1 - Meet The Squad - Irishman Running Abroad
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
Wednesday Jan 17, 2024
Sonia has read every email, letter and postcard. She has deliberated long into the night to find the best collection of talent and stories to form her squad for the road to Cobh 2024. Today we reveal who they are and hear some of their inspirational journeys. Which member of the team are you most like? There's someone for everyone. You can match your training plan to their's and take the journey Cobh too. This is a one of a kind episode with something for everyone in it.
Sonia explains the difference between and easy and a "regular run". It's a subject that ex-elite athlete, now elite physical therapist, Vinny Mulvey and I have been exploring for the last 60 days. For the London Marathon 2024 I'm running for Kidney Care UK and I'm using low heart rate training to build the aerobic base that failed me in Dublin last October. So far it has been a revelatory experience. At first, mind numbingly boring, then agonising, then joyous - the process of learning to run properly slow on my easy days has not been easy. Vinny takes me on the Seb Coe loop of Ashbourne, Co. Meath to explain some of the more difficult questions surrounding low heart rate training.
