This week, Jarlath is honoured to be joined by Lord Mayor of Dublin Hazel Chu. This episode is part of Irishman Abroad’s continued effort to raise awareness of the mental health challenges facing young people and our chosen charity partner jigsaw.ie. 

Hazel explains how she and her family were on the devastating receiving end of racism as the only Chinese family in Celbridge (11:00) when she was growing up and why she would refuse to shake the hand of Donald Trump if she was given the opportunity to do so (42:00).  

In this conversation, which covers a wide range of crucial talking points, Hazel admits that the recent Mother and Babies Home Bill was not handled well at all (51:00) while also outlining her own experience with anxiety and depression as well as her thoughts on the wider mental health difficulties for Ireland's youth during the pandemic (5:00).

In a week when it feels like the whole world is either locking down or smothering us with overwhelming news there has never been a better time to get out and run. Sonia remains quarantined in Australia nobody knows the feeling better than her. Today she talks to Jarlath about making the most of our limited surroundings and stringent rules. After 9 solid weeks of training she prescribes a recovery week for Jarlath and explains why this will help massively in the long run. 

There’s a review of last weekend’s club event and the announcement of our next event on November 18th. Why not join Jarlath in raising money for Jigsaw by signing up to the Irishman Abroad challenge over at https://www.idonate.ie/event/2576_.html

Jerry Buting has worked for more than 35 years as a criminal lawyer working exclusively on the defence of serious criminal cases. In 2016, his appearance in the Netflix hit series Making a Murderer, turned him into a household name as he acted in the defence of Steven Avery alongside his colleague Dean Strang.

This is Jerry's third conversation with Jarlath on the Irishman Abroad Podcast Network and it certainly does not disappoint. Jerry speaks about how COVID 19 is taking a tighter grip on the state of Wisconsin in which he lives, before delving into a review of what Trump has/hasn't done for the criminal justice system in America and he also gives an honest account of the pressures of working in an overloaded system.

From the importance of educating the public in how politicians use the fear of crime to get elected to a bombshell revelation surrounding Steven Avery, Brendan Dassey and the Making a Murder series, why crime labs are so reluctant to carry out blind testing and much more, this is a truly fascinating conversation on what what will be a vital week in American history.

Brian Pennie poses the question 'how would you live your life differently if life gave you a second chance?' Brian’s drug addiction was so severe that he was deemed too much of a risk for detox. In this rare conversation, he tells his incredible story of rebuilding his world from the depths of addiction, crippling anxiety through to the most unlikely recovery journey.

Jarlath asks Brian about the significance of gratitude and how a lack of awareness while suffering with addiction was preventing him from reaching a place of appreciation. We also find out the subtle impact of being a 'black belt in self-deception.'

Brian explains how a traumatic surgery as a child has impacted on his life and much more, this is the perfect conversation to listen to on a week where Ireland continues to bare the weight of the pandemic.

The award-winning journalist Mark Tighe is the co-author of the best-selling sports boom of 2020, 'Champagne Football - John Delaney and the betrayal of Irish football: the inside story.'

 

This week, Mark joined Jarlath to offer a rare inside look into the dark and shocking world of the FAI during it's time under John Delaney's reign as CEO.

Jarlath quizzes Mark on how journalists lived in fear of Delaney, the work already going into bringing this book to the big screen, Mark's own journey into journalism and more. There’s also news on Jarlath’s new challenge to raise funds for Jigsaw.
