This week, one of Ireland's finest and most loved comics, Neil Delamare, joins Jarlath for a rare and insightful conversation about his life and career.
Neil delves into his comedic roots and where he first discovered his passion for comedy as well as speaking openly about his work ethic and the challenges of working within the modern cancel culture.
From his reflections on his experiences of RTÉ's much loved series The Panel which came to an abrupt end to his insights into how he makes his audience members as comfortable as possible during his interactions with them and much more, this is a fascinating conversation with one of Ireland's funniest men.

Is Elon Musk showing off or does he genuinely intend to buy Twitter? Marion McKeone (Sunday Business Post US Correspondent) explains who the man behind Tesla really is and why this might just be a stunt. Later in the episode Jarlath asks Marion about President Biden’s difficult week and another choice of words that left a lot of world leaders cold. The Orange Lad needs new material because the crowds are staying away and shouting “we’ve heard it”. Is there a new hot political standup waiting in the wings? Marion has the answer on this and what the latest changes to abortion law in some states means. Finally Jar and Marion look at the weirdest celebrity court case of the week.

If we were never taught about sex, sexuality and relationships in the modern world how can we hope to talk to our young people about it? Richie Sadlier’s new book “Let’s Talk” is aimed at helping both parents and youngsters alike in navigating the new terrain of sexting, gender identity, breakups and porn. He sat down with Jarlath to discuss the challenges of writing the book, establishing the right tone, offering his own experiences without making it about him and how he found the courage to open up about his own suffering over the last two years. This is a one of a kind chat with a truly inspirational ex-Irish international, writer and therapist. Let’s Talk the book can be found in all good book retailers now.

Due to Continuing covid symptoms Irishman Abroad podcasts are running a little behind schedule. But this episode is definitely worth the wait. Sarah Palin is running for Congress but are the people of Alaska interested in the Masked Singer contestant? Donald Trump seems to think so. He backed the so-called hockey Mom/MAGA innovator to win. What are the chances that Donald will flip his opinion on Putin as his war crimes continue to disgust Americans? His sense of what is the most popular opinion might be so out of whack that it could cost him the Presidential nomination. Jarlath asks Marion if the atrocities in Bucha have changed anything in how America views this war and if the average Joe is paying attention to this and the January 6th investigation. Finally Marion answers a listener's question about Will Smith and where he might find redemption.

Sonia returns to where it all began for her hometown race and Jarlath documents the whole Cobh 10 experience. If you couldn’t be there this year to run roads, this episode is the next best thing. Perfectly capturing the sights and sounds of pre-race jitters, mid-race emotion and post race euphoria, this is a one of a kind episode featuring listeners, Olympic legends, locals and hills - lots of hills! Don’t miss out on the extended cut as Sonia takes time to draw breath and advises Jar on how to cope with delayed onset muscle soreness and what event to aim for next. This episode is dedicated to Ena Tobin and her family.

As the dust settles on the most dramatic tv event in recent US tv history, the Academy struggles with expectation of a punishment for Will Smith. Together with Jarlath, Marion teases out the word she has heard from the grapevine with the tightly knit group of members. The sands of public opinion shifted as the week went on and Marion assesses what the incident says about the wider state of the nation, discourse and disagreement. As the January 6th investigation widens its focus, Marion attempts to make sense of the bizarre text exchanges between Gini Thomas and Mark Meadows. Finally President Biden’s apparently ad libbed comment during his speech in Poland is still a topic for discussion. Did he make this particular gaffe on purpose to send a message? Finally we take a look at how credible “insider information” at the Kremlin really is and Marion's movie recommendation for the week.

With one week to go until Sonia's big race in aid of cancer research and Ballymore Cobh AC, disaster struck early on Friday when Jarlath tested positive for the dreaded virus. What should a runner do when they’ve done all the work and the Corona arrived on their doorstep? Push on through, drop tools, forget the plan and focus on having fun? Sonia provides us with her advice as to how to survive any big bump in the road whether it’s physical, mental or personal. There’s our usual trip around the parishes including one epic 8 hour run from a London listener and Sonia’s tip of the week. Jarlath finds the yoga asanas designed to improve Covid recovery time and lots more. In the extended cut on Patreon you can hear Sonia talk about the bump in the road that changed her running career completely and the illustrated episode notes with even more fun and information from the greatest Irish track and field athlete of all time.

It should have been a golden moment that both sides could unify on. The confirmation hearings for America’s first ever black female Supreme Court judge Ketanji Brown Jackson. Instead Ted Cruz et al turned it into the worst kind of juvenile political pantomime. Marion McKeone tries to answer the question, “Why are these hearings necessary?” In the second half of the episode she gets into the latest developments in Ukraine and why she feels President Biden isn’t doing nearly enough to help those fleeing the violence and those stranded on the ground. Finally we look at the grotesque way in which Presidential hopeful Ron Desantis has identified and leaped on what he sees as a winning political football. A power cut in St Albans cut the line between Marion and Jarlath but we still manage to get her recommendation for “What’s good this week?"
