An Irishman Abroad

Carl Austin: The Impact Of Race On Film

On what will go down as a momentous week in Black History with the conviction of Derek Chauvin, Ireland-based screenwriter Carl Austin joined Jarlath for a harrowing conversation about growing up in South Central Los Angeles. They discuss the influence the depiction of black communities in film has had on racism globally and much more.

In this crossover episode from our forthcoming 3rd series of Men Behaving Better in which racism is under the spotlight, Carl explains how he didn't meet a white person his own age until he was a teenager. We hear why he was reluctant to drive through Bel Air with his wife in recent years and Carl also explains how racism caused him to have two identities growing up. Carl looks back on a shocking incident when a routine traffic stop resulted in him being held at gunpoint with a police officer holding him down with a knee on his back. This is a truly powerful conversation that you simply don't want to miss.

Irishman Running Abroad with Sonia O'Sullivan: “Myths VS Facts"

With so much conflicting information out there and so many vested interests, it’s hard to know what to believe about running. Today Sonia takes aim and busts a few of the myths that hold us back when it comes to running well. Jarlath has picked up an injury and opens up for the first time about the impact it is having on his training and life. Sonia offers some no nonsense advice and announces her plans to head Stateside in the lead up to the Olympic Games for a very exciting project. There’s also one of the most bizarre and hilarious emails of the week.

Jessica Harrington

Horse racing legend Jessica Harrington sits down with Jarlath seven days on from Rachel Blackmore’s Grand National win to talk about her own remarkable journey. One of the very first female Irish racehorse trainers, Jessica has seen every side of the industry from the bitter disappointments to the glorious triumphs at the biggest events. How does she remain positive when the losses far outweigh the wins? Jarlath digs into her attachment to the animals, their welfare and her previous life representing Ireland at European, World and Olympic levels in three day eventing. Finally Jarlath asks Jessica about stereotypes about male and female horses, how they were extended to humans in the business and how they are gradually getting rolled back with each passing season. Whether you’re a racing fan or not there is something for everyone in this conversation with an Irish sporting pioneer.

Joe Molloy

This week, Newstalk's Off The Ball and Virgin Media's 6 Nations presenter Joe Molloy joined Jarlath for a rare long-form conversation about his life and career.

With a refreshing honesty, Joe outlines his mixed feelings over the 'tricky' infamous Roy Keane interview which "wasn't a good night" for him, the overwhelm he felt in Newstalk after the sudden departure of the Second Captains team and his thoughts on how social media has turned angry in recent years.

From the beautiful story of how he was headhunted for his Virgin Media role to the art of interviewing, turning to Enda McNulty for help and much more, this is a fascinating conversation with one of Ireland's top sports broadcasters.

Irishman Running Abroad with Sonia O'Sullivan: “Bounce Back: The Ancient Art Of Getting Back On The Horse"

Ireland’s greatest athlete gives us a masterclass in how to respond to setbacks, failures and unforeseen problems. After a week where Sonia asked all our listeners to see how high they could climb, a month when Ireland has struggled to see light in the darkness and a year when everyone has been forced to dig deep, there really has never been a better time to talk about resilience. Jarlath goes deep into Sonia’s Olympic past to find out how she learned to respond during her darkest moments and why speed was the key. There’s a review of the leaderboard, a new book club selection, email of the week from another Cóbh native and discussion of dogs on nudist beaches

Kevin Barry: Embracing Mistakes & Running With Them

This week, award-winning writer Kevin Barry joined Jarlath for a fascinating conversation about writing and the mystery of the creative process.

 

Kevin speaks about the deal fiction writers make with their subconscious mind, the importance of embracing failure, trusting the gut and reveals the book he regards as his "awkward child".

 

This chat is full of the classic Irish observations you’d expect from Kevin and few strange revelations such as his early attempts to write after returning home from a heavy night out to his admission that he couldn’t ride a bike until he was 15. This conversation is the perfect antidote to the bleakness we have all gotten used to this past month. Irishman Abroad brings you more light next Friday with Harry Hill joining our online comedy show in aid of frontline workers.

Life Is A Gift, Pass It On: Organ Donation Awareness Special Episode

Our special Organ Donation Awareness Week episode brings together three very different stories from three very different individuals who have had their lives changed by this modern medical miracle. RTE courts reporter and Irish Kidney Association ambassador Vivienne Traynor donated a kidney to her nephew in 2009 but that’s only the beginning of her story. Lucy Davis received a kidney from her mother in 1997 and until now has not spoken about the experience in great depth. She explains to Jarlath why she has taken the decision to speak out and the grotesque press treatment she received following the donation. James Nolan has helped to raise almost 2 million euro for kidney research projects and has represented Ireland at the World Transplant Games. He was one of the first recipients of a kidney from a live donor in the history of the Irish state and has been instrumental in Jarlath’s own transplant journey.
