An Irishman Abroad - Mick Clifford & The Murder Of Sophie Toscan du Plantier.
play

07/09/22 • 30 min

Award winning journalist, author and special correspondent for the Irish Examiner, Mick Clifford speaks to me about the new cold case investigation into the murder of French filmmaker Sophie Toscan du Plantier. With multiple documentaries, podcasts, endless media coverage and rumours around the crime and the one man suspected of committing it, is it possible that a new piece of evidence prompted the launch of the investigation? Mick vividly remembers the the time at which the murder took place and talks to me about finer details that may have been missed, his own gut feeling and a theory that gained ground in recent years.

In the second half of our conversation we talk about Mick's journey from engineering in UCC to discovering writing while dossing around Australia with a backpack. He gives me his thoughts on the future of journalism, the very Irish problem that leads to most of our scandals, Maurice McCabe, the planning tribunals and much much more. Mick is a total gent and an incredible writer and storyteller. You're going to love this episode. Why not listen to the whole thing...a further 30 minutes over on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad.

It’s a year since Joe Biden won the White House and yet this week Democrats lost resoundingly in two states he won by a landslide.

Later in the episode Marion explains why the battle ground has moved to the school curriculums. In the meantime the Supreme Court looks set to allow New Yorkers to carry firearms in public. Marion picks apart the legal arguments involved. There’s even time for a catch up with what those crazy cats at QANON are up to this week.

It’s a fact of life. Things don’t always go well. Sonia O’Sullivan, the greatest Irish athlete of all time, explains to Jarlath the head space we need to respond to the adversity we face when running and life gets really hard. The crisis might even happen while you’re running a race or out on a long run. Can we quiet that little voice that tells us we can’t and turn the hardest times into the foundations for something better? Sonia travels to the east coast for the Melrose Games and feels the memories of her time at Villanova come flooding back. She answers listener questions, takes a trip around the parishes to see what the listeners have been running, offers a travel tip of the week and helps Jarlath get over the idea that everyone is looking at you while you’re running. There’s news on the Irishman Running Abroad singlet and a brand new series launching this week. Get a double size episode each week and illustrated episode notes with more advice from Sonia over on Patreon.com/irishmanabroad.

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.

Nobody knows 10,000 metres quite like the record holder and legend Sonia O’Sullivan. She talks to me today about why this distance can be so tricky to run fast and so much fun to train for. With only a week to go until the Vitality 10,000 in London, a race Sonia has run in the past, we dial in coach Trevor Cummins in Cobh. He explains why we all need to find out where we are with 10K before heading out and trying to run it as fast as possible. Sonia reveals a cheeky little equation you can use to calculate your best time and I have a revelation about why I am tanking in all my long runs! We head around the parishes to see what our listeners have been running, get Sonia’s tip of the week and much more. Why not get the full episode with even more advice on the sessions that work best for 10K training by becoming a supporter of Irishman Abroad on patreon.com/irishmanabroad To grab an Irishman Running Abroad Singlet for the runner in your life, click here: https://www.rwsports.ie/category/irishman-abroad-running-with-sonia-shop Joining our running club is easy on strava.com/clubs/irishmanrunningabroad.

A leak is a very rare thing when it comes to the Supreme Court but it has been a week of rare things in America. One time Trump critic, JD Vance stormed to victory in Ohio with the help of Peter Thiel’s chequebook and an admission that he says stupid things in public. While the whole country remained glued to a celebrity car crash trial like no other, Democrats are counting on their base getting so angry about the possible overturning of abortion laws that they will get to the polls in November. Marion is not so sure. Can feelings of that kind can be sustained and harnessed for that long in a world of scrolling outrage that changes week to week? Finally Jarlath asks Marion why the world can’t seem to look away from Amber Heard and Johnny Depp publicly mutilating each other in a Virginia Courthouse. If you have a question you’d like to submit for Marion it’s easy, email irishmanabroadpodcast@gmail,com or send a voice memo to the Liveline on 0044 7543 122 330.

After relocating to America, Sonia explains to Jarlath how the ghost town of Nike’s HQ campus employs a steamroller to manicure its grass, the weird coincidence that produced a chance meeting with a competitor from her past and how she managed to charm her way into getting a vaccination within 48 hours of hitting American soil. The focus then turns to the most overlooked perils of running and how we might avoid these dangers. There’s a tribute to our fallen running club ambassador Gillian Ryan and the announcement of a run in her memory on May 2nd. Paula Radcliffe takes inspiration from Sonia and ing time listener Séamus McAteer is the first caller to the Irishman Abroad WhatsApp Live Line.

After months of burning the candle at both ends, Sonia is feeling the strain as she returns to the USA. She talks to Jarlath about all she has learned about fatigue over the years and how it can actually be used as a tool to increase speed long term. There are questions from the listeners around how much time an average runner should devote to recovery and a ridiculous story of Sonia's first stateside park run and how it brought out the competitive animal in her. There’s a detailed look at a Sonia designed training plan and lots more over in the extended cut for our wonderful members to enjoy on Patreon.

play

07/31/20 • 30 min

In perhaps her most open and honest interview to date, actress/writer/designer Amy Huberman speaks to Jarlath about her unusual up-bringing (8:00) and how constant rejection has paved the way for her success (13:00). Having acted in The Clinic for seven series, listener’s will be surprised to hear the fascinating story of how she was working in coffee shops in London during that period (51:00). Amy also speaks frankly about her struggle with self-doubt and experiencing ‘imposter syndrome’ early on in her career (45:00).

From getting the boat to Wales just to get cherry lip balm (6:00), learning to act with Chris O’Dowd in UCD’s Drama Society (38:00) and how being handcuffed to Bill Bailey for a day got her through a hard time (19:00), this episode is not to be missed.
