Mario Rosenstock is, without a doubt, one of Ireland's most prolific comedic talents. This week, the true master of impressions, joined Jarlath for a fascinating conversation about the invaluable mentoring that he received from Ian Dempsey (55:00), his formula for creating comedy characters (Patreon extended cut only) and the fear and anxiety that saw him come close to a breakdown due to the demands of the early stages of Gift Grub (59:00).
From the hilarious story of getting his big break on Glenroe (22:00), doing Roy to Roy (1:13:00) and his 'gas night' with Michael D. Higgins (30:00) to the time Ian Dempsey confronted a troll (1:10:00), the hurtful criticism that he just can't brush off (1:04:00) and much more, this conversation is a thoroughly enjoyable insight into the life and mind of one of Ireland's comedy heroes.

This week, Irish sporting icon, Eamonn Coghlan, joined Jarlath for a mammoth chat about his life and career at the top of Irish sport. Eamon opens up about his crippling homesickness at Villanova University (22:00), how he harnessed emotion and put it into his running technique (34:00) and how he coped with losing the 3 most important men in his life prior to winning a World Championship (54:00).
As things have changed significantly in the place of athletics in sporting life, Eamon explains why he believes the buzz is completely gone from the indoor circuits (59:00) and how it was guilt that stopped him from taking a performance enhancing prescription that he was given at a time when he was desperate for Olympic Qualification (1:02:00). From becoming the first man over 40 to run a sub-four minute mile (Patreon extended cut only) to setting the indoor world record for the 3:49 mile (Patreon extended cut only) and the time he was so distressed with an injury that he went to a vet for further consultation (49:00), this conversation is packed with quality conversation with one of Ireland’s sporting legends.

This week, Ireland and Munster legend, Donncha O’Callaghan, sat down with Jarlath for a conversation which is a highlight in the series to date.
Donncha explains why he is glad to hide behind his persona of ‘the joker’ in front of journalists (19:00), the issue he had with Obama’s visit to Ireland (26:00) and being jealous of teammates who can escape from their heads in their personal life (29:00).
From how he struggled to motivate himself following on from his move to the Worcester Warriors (35:00) to ROG pulling him up on his time-keeping (45:00), thinking his presenting job on TV3’s Clubhouse was a massive wind-up (Patreon extended cut only), the incredible phrase that the Munster Rugby team live by (Patreon extended cut only) and much more, this is a fantastic conversation with a true gentleman of Irish sport.

Barry Keoghan is, without a doubt, on track to becoming one of the biggest Irish movie stars of all time. This week he joined Jarlath to discuss having no back up plan (8:00), why he appeared on The Late Late show with hesitancy (12:00) and how he completely blew his first big pay cheque (27:00).
Barry also explains how Conor McGregor is a huge influence to him (37:00), why he lives in Kerry (41:00) and how he very nearly missed out on becoming a Dior Brand Ambassador (46:00).
From using his incredibly difficult life to spur him on (13:00) to the support of his girlfriend (38:00) and his hilarious prank calls to Adrian Kennedy (43:00), this is a thoroughly enjoyable conversation with one of Ireland’s fastest rising stars.

In what was one of the most enjoyable live episodes of the series to date, Laura Whitmore and Roisin Conaty joined Jarlath live in front of a sold out Soho Theatre to discuss sexism, consent and their hopes for gender equality in the future.
With refreshing honesty, Laura and Roisin speak about the routine abuse of women (11:00), how men are judged differently to women for the exact same behaviours (23:00) and hilariously beating online trolls at their own game (39:00).
From Laura’s unsettling experience with a policeman outside her home (48:00) and the time a male colleague took issue with the fact that she was being paid more than him (26:00) to how Roisin was told to avoid men attacking her on the street (9:00) and much, much more, this episode is a true highlight of the series to date.

Through his work with The Stunning and The Walls, Steve Wall has become one of Ireland's most beloved singer/songwriters. For most that would be enough. For Steve it was just the beginning. Nobody can tell his story better than Steve himself.
Steve explains the 'different breed' of Christian Brother education that he had when he moved to the west (12:00), the ridiculous career guidance that he received there (17:00) and how the resulting feeling of being left behind while doing the wrong college course drove him on in his artistic pursuits (30:00).
From the hilarious stories of his time spent working as the Assistant to the Chief Lubricator in a factory (38:00) to his sexual awakening as a guitar-playing 'God' in a small German town (40:00) and the difficulties that Irish musicians face in the global industry (1:00:00), this is one of those Irishman Abroad conversations you'll wish went on for another hour with one of the nicest men you could possibly meet. The new Stunning album is out now.
