An Irishman Abroad

We Need To Talk About Kevin! - Irishman In America With Marion McKeone

If you stand for nothing, you'll fall for anything. In the first podcast of 2023, Jarlath and Marion have united for the first time and are together in studio to give their predictions for the year ahead. The Business Post’s Washington Correspondent gives Jarlath the rundown on Kevin McCarthy and his seven bids for Speaker of the House. In part 2 (available on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad ) the two talk Trump’s tax returns as Marion explains how Trump got away with it. They talk scandals in the Republican Party as one newly appointed congressman isn’t what he claims. To wrap it up, Jarlath and Marion give their conflicting opinions on the year ahead with chaos on the cards as Jarlath gears up for his January 6th live shows.

Marion McKeone’s 2022 Irishman In America Awards Show & News Review

Marion McKeone leads comedian Jarlath Regan through the biggest news stories of the year that was 2022, picks her biggest losers and biggest winners, and announces her hilarious categories in our most hotly anticipated episode in months. The 2022 Awards show is not a black tie event but the honour of being named Marion's "gobshite of the year" was as hotly contested as any Oscar campaign. Jar and Marion butt heads on the movie of the year, who should P.F.O and dig into the hardest news story she had to cover over the past 12 months. There's the winner of the "Smug Bastard" award and a look at whether the midterms really were the new beginning or just a short reprieve.

A brief reminder at the top of the show that final tickets for Jarlath's live show in Dublin on January 7th have now been released. Grab a pair for yourself here. It's going to be great.

Thanks as always to everyone who has supported the show this year on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad . Special thanks to Aoife Horan who came on board to do some sound editing over the last few episodes. Have a Happy Christmas from everyone at Irishman Abroad.

Sarah Lavin - Taking Your Second Chance - The Big Interview (Part 1)

You can feel the gratitude glowing off Sarah Lavin when you talk to her. Maybe that's because she knows in her heart, better than most athletes, how close the end can be. She watched all her Olympic dreams crumble one day when she rolled her ankle in a freakishly simple turn on an indoor track. Broken hearted after previously piecing herself back together from other injuries, she had to resign herself to the fact the Tokyo games were gone from her grasp. Everything changed with COVID. The sad circumstances that prevented the games from taking place allowed her the time to recover, train, refocus and climb into the top 40 hurdlers in the planet. 

 

This week she spoke to me from her training camp about her first steps in athletics, the temptations of alcohol in Ireland, second chances, Gerard Hartman, patience, presence and the mad thoughts that go through her head on the start line.
