s the National Rifle Association’s convention the new CPAC? Marion looks back on a weekend of bizarre speeches and headshakingly worrying individuals. After 20 years of attending this event, nobody is better positioned to comment on the evolution of this event and the changes in the weapons that attract the most punters.
The star of the event was not Donald Trump. Marion introduces to the new belle of the ball Kristi Noem. Who is and does she really have the best chances of being the Orange Lad’s running mate?
After the convention Marion jetted off to see the jury sworn in at the Delaware courthouse where Rupert Murdoch and Fox were set to face the Dominion music. We get a run down of how the massive settlement was reached and why this might be just the beginning for Murdoch in a spiral of payouts. Could he ever go bankrupt? Marion explains why nobody should hold their breath.
Why would shy Ronnie DeSantis take on Mickey Mouse? Marion explains why the worm is turning for the Florida governor. Further evidence of why his campaign for the Presidential nomination looks dead in the water. What has to happen to revive it?
I am also on tour right now. I’ll be doing my latest standup show in Liverpool, Newcastle, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Armagh, Galway, Cork, Kilkenny, Naas, Birmingham, London and Tralee to why not grab a ticket while you can. All the other dates have fully sold out! https://linktr.ee/IrishmanAbroad

Screwing up is a fact of life. Refusing to admit to it? Well that’s not in Joe Biden’s personality. This week his visit to Ireland and his All Black’s gaffe humanised the 46th US President in a way few events could. Sunday Business Post Washington Correspondent Marion McKeone dishes some insider information on the inner workings of NGOs and the real reason why Trump’s state visits were few and far between.
What is Biden’s current public perception in the US as his approval rating takes a dive. We need a diagram for all of the civil and criminal lawsuits coming down the pipeline for former President Donald Trump as he sets his sights on suing his former lawyer Michael Cohen. Fox News is suing Rupert Murdoch and things are going pretty well for them so far. We check in on the latest developments.
Justin Pearson and Justin Jones were expelled from the house Tennessee and reinstated this week. Marion explains why there is fear around these two high flying politicians among the old boys club in the Tennesee house of representatives. Marion gears up to attend the NRA convention this weekend where Donald Trump is the keynote speaker. Marion answer’s a great question from a listener about VP Kamala Harris.
And finally in the ‘wait, wait, it’s not all bad’ section of the show we get some good news and I give my recommendation of the week.

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.

Are the public already too tired to cope with Donald Trump’s indictment? Business Post Washington Correspondent and the power house behind this podcast, Marion McKeone discusses all 34 of the charges Trump is facing. Marion tells us what it was like on the ground as George Santos and Marjorie Taylor Green protested outside the court.
We discuss Trump’s diminished appearance, rare details from inside the court house and Trump’s attitude to it all. We also chat about the other impending cases headed Trump’s way, how this could affect his run for the Republican Presidential candidacy and how his MAGA base could be affected.
In the Patreon portion of the show, the we discuss Marjorie Taylor Green’s 60 Minutes interview or as Marion brands it ‘one of the saddest days in journalism’ she’s ever seen. We get into the dangers of journalists not rebutting false claims.
New York Congresswoman Alexandria OCasio Cortez’s calls for justice Clarence Thomas to be impeached and Marion breaks down why these calls have come to fruition. We discuss Robert F Kennedy’s Jr’s run for the Democratic bid or as Marion brands him the “crank and loser” candidate. To wrap the pod up, Marion gives a dose of positive news as Wisconsin elected a Democratic Supreme Court judge. Will this really make a difference? Marion thinks so.

Sonia returns to the hills and roads that built her this week. Yes, it’s the 2023 Ballymore Cobh AC Sonia O’Sullivan 10 Mile Road Race and I was there to capture all of the sights and sounds of this unique event.

So the indictment you planned didn’t happen. You were all excited and now you’re sad. What happens next? Marion McKeone examines the latest developments in Donald Trumps’ endless pursuit of attention as he visited Waco this week. Is the DeSantis challenge starting to fizzle before it even gets on the runway, why do we still listen to pollsters when most Trump supporters refuse to give them honest answers. Murdoch’s lawyers get a wrap on the knuckles, Paltrow takes to the stand and Republicans respond to the latest mass shooting tragedy.
