This week, star of the forthcoming movie Calm with Horses, Niamh Algar, joined Jarlath to discuss her incredible journey from architectural design to the big screen.
Niamh explains how a fascination with story-telling opened her up to the world of film from an early age (11:00), how telling a white lie to RTÉ gave her a big break with the broadcaster (17:00) and why she is not scared of the modern challenges which face the film industry (41:00).
From her incredible stories of working alongside Guy Ritchie (37:00) and Stephen Graham (32:00), while also revealing her anxiety over getting the call to say that she'd been offered a part in a new Ridley Scott series (56:00) and what life is like working in a post-Weinstein film industry (1:00:00) and much more, this is a truly enlightening conversation with one of Ireland's fastest rising acting talents.

Jason McAteer made his Irishman Abroad debut in December 2014 (Episode 64) and this week he makes his much-anticipated return to the show. The Ireland and Liverpool legend speaks with a refreshing honesty about his battle with his mental health and the journey that he has been on since he first spoke to Jarlath.
There’s a fascinating discussion on the different manager techniques in order to deal with the various personality traits of the players (14:00) and the one rule that players agree over-stepped the mark when it comes to ‘brutal’ dressing room banter where there is ‘no room for the weak’ (5:00). Jason also speaks openly about the breaking point for his own mental health (26:00) and the importance of really listening to someone who is opening up to you about their struggles (38:00).
From what he believes is so special about the current Liverpool team (47:00) to a fascinating discussion on the challenges that face parents of millennials (45:00) and much more, this is a refreshing and honest conversation with a true gentleman of Irish sport.
To hear Jason’s thoughts on the challenges facing the fallout of the FAI saga, the task facing Niall Quinn, how we can get more Irish players into the Premier League, why he doesn't regret getting Botox and his Liverpool regret, become a patron of An Irishman Abroad for just the price of a pint on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad.

This week, we hear the incredible story of the man who spent 10 years undercover as an M15 agent in Derry within Sinn Féin reporting back to the British Government. Willie Carlin now lives in a secret location in the UK and under a new identity. He met with Jarlath to tell him about working in one of the most dangerous positions in The Troubles, having his cover blown and how he still lives in fear of an IRA hit.
Willie tells the shocking events of the night his cover was blown (4:00), why he was told he would be killed if he went to his daughter's funeral (49:00) while also explaining the role he played in the early stages of the Peace Process (47:00).
From being addicted to spying (27:00) to how he was expected to infiltrate the Republican movement with very little guidance (20:00), the psychological impact of living a double-life (8:00), why he still fears for his own life (50:00) and much more, this is a remarkable and rare conversation with a man who has truly lived life on the edge.
To hear Willie's claims that he witnessed what he understands to be Martin McGuinness sanctioning a shooting of an IRA member, his thoughts on the possibility of a United Ireland after Brexit and much more, become an Irishman Abroad patron at www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad.

Jarlath sat down with former Taoiseach Enda Kenny for a one of a kind conversation in front of a UCD Alumni event at London's Savoy Hotel.
With his retirement just around the corner, Enda speaks freely about his time at the helm. Jarlath asks what a person needs to succeed in a game as difficult as politics (8:00). Sitting a stone’s throw from the British Houses of Parliament they discuss why Britain is not the Empire that it once was (33:00) and his admiration for the way in which the Queen approached her visit to Ireland (40:00).
From the hilarious story about Donald Trump and Enda's wife (23:00) to the importance of 'letting the young people fly' (14:00), his heart-warming perspective on education (43:00), how stress was never an issue for him (12:00) and much more, this is a truly memorable chat with one of Ireland's most talked about and groundbreaking political figures.
