An Irishman Abroad

What You Won’t Know Until You Run A Marathon - Irishman Running Abroad With Sonia O’Sullivan

In the final days before London 2023, I ask the greatest of all time what she learned from her first marathon. The answer I get might surprise you. Sonia famously ran and won Dublin on a whim for her first race after the 2000 Olympics. My final long run was an opportunity to gather some listeners training for Connemara, Boston and London. I recorded on the go and got some great insights from the far more experienced listeners of this podcast. How can I avoid the pitfalls of the first race joy. Vinny Mulvey joins me for the second half of the show to walk me through the plan for the next two weeks and explain how we can prepare our minds to prevent the wobble becoming a fall. Sonia is in Augusta for the Masters and she looks back on the experience of following Shane Lowry around the most fabled course in golf history.

Is Arresting Donald Trump Worth The Hassle? - Irishman In America With Marion McKeone

Who is Alvin Bragg? What exactly is his case against Donald Trump? And is there any truth in the claim that this indictment is political given the number of run-ins these two have had with each other? Marion is here to shed light on the whole bizarre tale.

 

In the first half of today's show we purely focus on what makes this case different from that of Fani Willis in Georgia, why so many are lining up to take a swing at Alvin Bragg and whether there is an argument for leaving the whole Stormy Daniels hush money to one side. Like everything related to this man, it's not as straight forward as it looks and the implications for crossing him will impact both sides of the isle.

 

Later on Marion goes back to South Carolina for the re-opening of a case related to the convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh. We hear about the Gwyneth Paltrow skiing hit and run trial and get Marion's recommendation for the weekend.

 

Jarzilla, my standup show has sold out everywhere we have taken it from Dublin to Clonakilty, now it's coming to the UK! Newcastle, Liverpool, Edinburgh & Glasgow are now all on sale. Tell your friends to grab tickets if you're not already going to Cork, Thurles or Galway.
