On this week’s episode we sit down with author and award-winning political journalist Harry McGee. Harry is the political correspondent with The Irish Times, and has previously worked for several publications, including being political editor of the Irish Examiner, as well as jobs with the Sunday Tribune, and the Sunday Press. Harry also authored “The Murderer and the Taoiseach: Death, Politics and GUBU”, which explores a notorious case in 1980s Ireland involving Malcolm Macarthur, an Irish aristocrat who committed a brutal killing spree in an attempt to alleviate his financial troubles. The case not only shocked the nation but also had profound political ramifications, leading to widespread damage to the reputation of then Taoiseach Charles Haughey. The term GUBU (grotesque, unbelievable, bizarre, and unprecedented) was coined by Haughey himself to describe the events, encapsulating the surreal and shocking nature of the scandal.

On this week’s episode we have super heavy weight bodybuilder Connor Magee. During covid, Connor had a horrific accident when re-racking the bar of the smith machine. He broke his both ankles, shin bones and ruptured both knees. He spent time in a wheelchair, but his drive to lift and compete again kept him going. He's since bounced back, and will be competing in the Irish Nationals and in Sweden later in the year. I found his mentality, and his road to redemption story to be so incredibly inspiring, and I believe you will too.

Hello everybody and welcome to the Dark Finds podcast.


On toady’s episode we have MMA fighter Yann Oliveira. Yann is not only the Combat FC Welterweight champion, but he also runs a successful construction company.


I found his story so inspiring. He left Brazil as a teenager and landed in the US. He faced adversity and set back, but he came out swinging like a fighter would. Honestly, I love these types of stories, and talking to people who have that killer, do or die mentality.


I hope you all enjoy this one as much as I did.
