If music be the food of absurdity US politics says play on. A Trump AI rap hit, a down home boy’s misunderstood anthem riles up the people that made it a chart topper and Eminem is forced to step in.

Whether you like it or not, Donald Trump became the first US President with a mugshot. For supporters this will change nothing other than save them time photoshopping the fake versions they emblazoned on coffee cups, shirts and hats. For his opponents it is sweet vindication.

The biggest RICO indictment since Harvey Dent versus The Falconi crime family dropped this week and my co-conspirator Marion McKeone is back from the Iowa State Fair to make sense of it. In today's big weekly round up she looks at what is contained in the 98 page indictment. Who are the 18 people indicted alongside the big Orange Fella? What exactly are they accused of? Will they flip for a plea deal and sing like canaries? Mr. RICO himself, Rudi "Just For Men" Giuliani is among the accused but Roger Stone is not. This week a video emerged of Stone hatching the plan to overturn the election before the result had even been announced. Does this mean Stone is co-operating? Does this make this indictment more a slam dunk than the "confidential documents in the jacks" indictment? We get Marion's view of the tragedy in Hawaii. The death toll is set to rise far higher than 111, families are still searching for missing relatives and yet, tourists are still arriving because "we have reservations". Marion explores the tense relationship between locals and tourists. Has Joe Biden dropped teh ball or will the billionaire land owners like Oprah swoop in to help? Jarlath is going out on tour.

Marion McKeone defends the honour of the LA’s drug free shark population after rumours surface of rampant drug use among sea life in Florida. It can only mean one thing, it’s time for another episode of Irishman In America, Ireland’s number one political news podcast with comedian Jarlath Regan. This week Jar and Marion examine curious modesty of Joe Biden and his administration, the cost of living crisis and Donald Trump’s attempt to corrupt the jury pool in Georgia. Why is there no law to stop the slander of Fani Willis? What is behind the actor’s strike? 100 days in and neither side seems willing to budge. There’s even more over on Patreon for our members including why the FBI shot a man in Utah who sent threatening messages to the President and why the wheels are coming off Ron DeSantis’s rickety band wagon.

Sonia O'Sullivan dials in from Spain as she helps her daughter Sophie prepare for the World Athletics Championships. The clock is ticking. What can an athlete pro or amateur hope to cram in before their big exam. Is it more about the head game at this point or can we plan a great final ten days before our big races? Sonia looks back on her 1995 gold at the worlds and helps Jarlath with his understanding of training paces.

Marion McKeone chats to Jarlath about the latest legal troubles facing Donald Trump.

In second half of the show available on our members page (www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad) you can hear Marion take on what will become of Hunter Biden. Is Joe Biden's troublesome son a reason not to vote in the next election or just a nice piece of juicy click bait?

The GOAT herself joined our listeners in person this week for a run in Phoenix Park. I captured some sounds and asked Sonia why the "run slow to run fast" mantra might not apply to her. We look forward to the World Championships in Budapest and back at an incredible summer of running for Irish athletes including Sophie O'Sullivan. With the Dublin marathon less than 90 days away I ask Sonia about the most challenging hill on the course. Is it possible to prepare for a "heartbreak hill" or is giving it a name a step in the wrong direction? I take a spin into Vinny Mulvey (Patreon exclusive content visit www.patreon.com/irishmababroad to sign up today) for a chat about marathon training with less than 3 months to go. Is the 10% mileage increase a hard and fast rule or can we jump it a little faster a little sooner. There's also a trip around the Strava parishes and Sonia's tip of the week to enjoy.

The spirit of Parkrun is not centred around beating your fastest time but if there’s a wall there, you may as well try and jump over it some time. You can sit on it, arrange to meet friends at the wall, chew the fat and have fun but occasionally it’s ok to jump it. With the help of the Queen of Irish athletics you can instantly take minutes off your time. You’re not going to believe how glaringly obvious and ingenious her tips are. Profound wisdom that is hard won from her years training and winning all around the world.

Will The Rock be a future candidate for President of The United States? Will Trump be convicted and go to jail over the missing files? And who killed Tupac? On this week’s podcast, Marion tackles America’s most un-answerable questions, from politics to celebrities to celebrities entering politics and back again. Who will be the next celebrity to take American politics by storm? Marion parses out who could be the next Trump. With former comedian Zelensky running the show in war torn Ukraine and America’s history with celebrity presidents, Marion discusses future stars turned global politicians. What does a competent Government mean for public opinion in the States? Marion discusses how a capable Government is equated with dullness as Biden has led a stable term in the Oval Office. In the aftermath of Trump’s disastrous tenure, Marion feels Biden’s stable government is not viewed as it probably deserves. After Trump’s indictment will we see prison time for the former President? Marion gives a couple of the most jaw dropping theories doing the rounds on what could happen if he is convicted, including the possibility of a pardon by the current Democratic president! What issues should Americans be up in arms about? Should Americans seek to abolish the Electoral College and the Senate? Marion breaks down which states are shafted in representation by the current electoral system. Why do American’s have such low sympathy for Biden’s embattled son Hunter? —- Over on Patreon — in the XL edition of the show you can hear: Is there ever a possibility of assault rifles being taken off the streets in America. Marion brings new hope as California’s Governor Gavin Newsom works to pass a new amendment that could alter the iconic second amendment. What do the Democratic Governor’s ideas involve and could they come to fruition? What is the state of abortion law after the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe V Wade? Marion discusses the patchwork quilt of injustice that has taken over the US as women are suffering in restrictive states. However, even conservative states are fighting back with Kansas holding a referendum on abortion rights that could bring hope in other places in the future. Are American’s worried about AI? More importantly, should they be? Marion and Jarlath chat about AI use in America and what it means for workers across multiple sectors as it has the potential to affect the job security of many, from truck drivers to screen writers. Marion also looks at how it could affect disinformation campaigns in the upcoming election. Finally, they address the all important mystery of who shot Tupac Shakur on the Vegas strip in 1996? Marion presents an interesting theory as Jarlath discusses the idea of reparations for slavery in America. Jarlath is also on tour right now.

Marion McKeone of the Sunday Business Post heads to Miami to experience all the madness of Donald Trump’s second indictment. The circus is back in town just when it looked like the show was over.

Did we just watch the ending or the launch of Ron DeSantis’s campaign for the GOP presidential nomination. The cyberspace dumpster fire event with Elon Musk was breathtakingly bad from the first glitch to the spluttering end. Marion and I discuss the Twitter space that announced his running which was way worse than any Zoom call with your parents. Viewership bottomed out at 100,000 leaving some to wonder if his chances of winning are all but gone. The only way is up now for DeSantis. As he begins his campaign in person, what new set of circumstances could hand him the win even after this debacle. A tornado, physical or legally hitting Trump, is not out of the question. We look at Ron’s chances alongside some other politicians in the running and where they fall in the GOP rankings. (Go to www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad to access the full.) How did one woman’s complaint lead to the banning of American poet laureate Amanda Gorman’s poem in a Miami school district? Marion discusses DeSantis’ regressive laws in Florida and how they’re impacting education, such as controlling the discussion of slavery in classrooms across the state. What’s going to happen with the debt ceiling? As Marion feels my eyes roll back into my head discuss this never ending snooze fest of a news story. Could this trigger a global recession? And do American’s want a president that is right and conciliatory or wrong and strong? As always, Marion explains.

In 1987 at the Cork City Sports meet, a seventeen year old Sonia O’Sullivan ran a time for 3000 metres that would have qualified her for the 1988 Olympics. It was the race that put her on the map. We go back to that summer’s evening when the legend in the making took a bus from Cobh to Cork to stomp her opposition into the ground. Injury adversity would strike soon after but it was this taste of success that drove her through the long weeks of rehab that would follow. How exaclty was the mindset of athletes in 1987 different today? What can it teach us about resilience and toughness? Is talking about problems the right answer to all problems or can we make them bigger by expanding the headspace they occupy? The Irishman Running Abroad Podcast is Ireland’s number 1 running podcast and each week examines a different aspect of training. This week we catch up with the GOAT as she travels to Washington to visit her daughter Sophie - an NCAA athlete on the rise herself. The “grand” forests and hills, the lunch box of champions and a trip around the Strava parishes for Sonia’s runners of the week make up the rest of this jam packed episode of Ireland’s favourite running podcast. — If you’d like to contact me, that is easy too.

Were Harry and Meghan in a two hour car chase from the paparazzi or is this actual fake news? Marion weighs up the possibilities before moving on to the other near catastrophes of the week including the debt ceiling, Rudy Giuliani's legal troubles and the expiration of Title 42. What’s going to happen with the debt ceiling? Will the US Government come to a solution in time or are Kevin McCarthy and Joe Biden in the wrong place at the wrong time? Is can kicking the new national sport of America or will this recurring crisis ever be solved once and for all? The orange lead knows a thing or two about postponing an impending crisis even if that means flushing the documents relating to it down the jacks! What’s happening with the many lawsuits upcoming for former President Donald Trump? His best lawyer Tim Parlatore has had enough and left his legal team for good. As time passes is the case against Trump over classified documents indefensible? Marion breaks it down. It's a crisis that has been a long time coming. Are we finally about to watch downfall of Rudy Giuliani? Bombshell claims of sexual harassment of a former employee and accusations that he offered to sell "Trump-pardons" for $2million each have rained down upon him in a shit storm like no other. We have all you need to know in this week's chat. The one crisis everyone could see coming but nobody did anything about. (In the second half of of the show on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad : Did the border crisis fizzle this week. What is happening now that Title 42 has expired and the sky didn't fall. The horrendous overcrowding at the border and in migrant camps caused the death of a young girl died on Wednesday. What has to happen for Republicans or the Democrats step up to the plate? One man hoping for a crisis so big it allows him to swoop in will announce his candidacy next week. But what kind of candidate will Ron DeSantis be and will he be successful?)

Catching the sight of yourself in a mirror is one thing, catching the sight of yourself running in a video is a whole other level? Even Sonia admits to having a different view of her running form to the reality that presents itself whenever someone hits record. Can we take steps to improve the way we run or is perfection an illusion when it comes to this very personal thing. Elite running coach and physical therapist Vinny Mulvey has seen it all. He joins the episode to reflect on how thinking can impact on form and why relaxation is the key to finding your personal best running economy. Jarlath is on tour and spinning multiple plates at the moment. He finds himself in Cork for the Ballincollig Parkrun and pays a visit to John Buckley Sports - Sonia's favourite running shop in the world.

Marion McKeone joins Jarlath to discuss a bizarre week in US politics. From Trumps conviction to George Santos, the dept ceiling silver bullet and Trump's CNN funded rally, this was a week that had everyone's head spinning.

From tempos to fartleks, floats to bandits, it’s all here in this jargon busting episode with the GOAT of Irish running. The extended episode (available on Patreon) also includes Sonia revealing her VO2 max, even more jargon busting and a visit to Poppintree Park in Dublin to take in the sights & sounds of one listener’s 250th Parkrun.

What was the purpose of Donald Trump’s visit to Ireland? As Marion touches down in Dublin after her holiday, she puts forward her perspective on why Trump was visiting during the beginning of his civil rape trial in New York. Is Trump afraid to face E Jean Carroll as Joe Tacopina uses his thuggish methods to take on the trial. The most damning evidence against Trump in the trial being used is the infamous ‘Grab ‘em by the pussy’ Access Hollywood tapes. Marion gives a run down on what’s been said so far in the trial. Tucker Carlson is out of a job at Fox News after alleged racist text messages he sent. Was it the straw that broke the camels back or was Carlson on his way out when he said January 6th rioters were peaceful tourists? Where does Carlson go from here? Marion gives her views on potential networks that may take him on for less cash that are to the right of Fox News. Was there an assassination attempt against Vladimir Putin this week? Marion doesn’t think so. Russia claimed that Ukraine launched a drone strike over the Kremlin on Wednesday. Marion gives her views on what bleak motivation Russia may have for making the claim as she discusses how Ukraine is fading from the news agenda. What is the value of the Met Gala in times of economic crisis? We debate whether the parade of exuberant wealth and excess is necessary after the inaugural event celebrated the life’s work of Karl Lagerfeld on Monday. And while stars were making their way down the red carpet screen writers were preparing to strike for their rights in LA. Does Joe Biden have a writer’s room himself? After the White House Correspondents dinner it certainly looks that way. I look at the best jokes from Biden’s set as he and Marion discuss dinner’s of the past. With jokes about Tucker Carlson’s sacking and his age on the table, sleepy Joe has a few tricks up his sleeve. I am also on tour right now.

Sonia is back in Portland after a brief stop at a relay carnival like no other - The Penn Relays. We get some of the sights and sounds of the big event including Villanova's dramatic win in the men's mile relay and Marcus O'Sullivan's emotional post race interview. "The memories that are made last forever and they are magic" but at some point you have to come back to earth and get out to train again. That's the position many people find themselves in after a marathon. What better time to look the most basic part of how you run? The petrol you put in your engine is a simple way of looking at it but when it comes to food the choice is not as simple as petrol or diesel. In a world of experts everyone is an idiot. Sonia has a way of peeling back the nonsense and stripping away the silly stuff that might get in the way of your ability to make good choices at the fridge. Together we sift through some of the harder questions on this subject and some of the guiding principles she has espoused in her Irish Times articles over the years. Good fats, the traffic light system, the formula and the role of sugar in what a healthy life looks like, all come under Sonia's microscope in today's nutrition episode. We even have time to go around the Strava parishes to see which runners have stood out to Ireland's GOAT this week.

More than 40,000 runners took to the streets of London on Sunday April 23rd, 2023, to run 26.2 miles. Raising millions for charities across the U.K. This year, for the very first time, I was one of them. Today's episode brings you all the sights and sounds from this tremendous event. From the pre-race jitters to the fortuitous meetings, the cheers crowds and the glorious final sprint to the finish, this episode has it all. There's even a special appearance from Irish athletics legend Catherina McKiernan (Patreon extended episode). Coach Vinny Mulvey reviews the race and Sonia looks back on two extraordinary elite events. I might be tired right now but I am also on tour.

s the National Rifle Association’s convention the new CPAC? Marion looks back on a weekend of bizarre speeches and headshakingly worrying individuals. After 20 years of attending this event, nobody is better positioned to comment on the evolution of this event and the changes in the weapons that attract the most punters. The star of the event was not Donald Trump. Marion introduces to the new belle of the ball Kristi Noem. Who is and does she really have the best chances of being the Orange Lad’s running mate? After the convention Marion jetted off to see the jury sworn in at the Delaware courthouse where Rupert Murdoch and Fox were set to face the Dominion music. We get a run down of how the massive settlement was reached and why this might be just the beginning for Murdoch in a spiral of payouts. Could he ever go bankrupt? Marion explains why nobody should hold their breath. Why would shy Ronnie DeSantis take on Mickey Mouse? Marion explains why the worm is turning for the Florida governor. Further evidence of why his campaign for the Presidential nomination looks dead in the water. What has to happen to revive it? I am also on tour right now.

Screwing up is a fact of life. Refusing to admit to it? Well that’s not in Joe Biden’s personality. This week his visit to Ireland and his All Black’s gaffe humanised the 46th US President in a way few events could. Sunday Business Post Washington Correspondent Marion McKeone dishes some insider information on the inner workings of NGOs and the real reason why Trump’s state visits were few and far between. What is Biden’s current public perception in the US as his approval rating takes a dive. We need a diagram for all of the civil and criminal lawsuits coming down the pipeline for former President Donald Trump as he sets his sights on suing his former lawyer Michael Cohen. Fox News is suing Rupert Murdoch and things are going pretty well for them so far. We check in on the latest developments. Justin Pearson and Justin Jones were expelled from the house Tennessee and reinstated this week. Marion explains why there is fear around these two high flying politicians among the old boys club in the Tennesee house of representatives. Marion gears up to attend the NRA convention this weekend where Donald Trump is the keynote speaker. Marion answer’s a great question from a listener about VP Kamala Harris. And finally in the ‘wait, wait, it’s not all bad’ section of the show we get some good news and I give my recommendation of the week. I am also on tour right now.

In the final days before London 2023, I ask the greatest of all time what she learned from her first marathon. The answer I get might surprise you. Sonia famously ran and won Dublin on a whim for her first race after the 2000 Olympics. My final long run was an opportunity to gather some listeners training for Connemara, Boston and London. I recorded on the go and got some great insights from the far more experienced listeners of this podcast. How can I avoid the pitfalls of the first race joy. Vinny Mulvey joins me for the second half of the show to walk me through the plan for the next two weeks and explain how we can prepare our minds to prevent the wobble becoming a fall. Sonia is in Augusta for the Masters and she looks back on the experience of following Shane Lowry around the most fabled course in golf history.

Are the public already too tired to cope with Donald Trump’s indictment? Business Post Washington Correspondent and the power house behind this podcast, Marion McKeone discusses all 34 of the charges Trump is facing. Marion tells us what it was like on the ground as George Santos and Marjorie Taylor Green protested outside the court. We discuss Trump’s diminished appearance, rare details from inside the court house and Trump’s attitude to it all. We also chat about the other impending cases headed Trump’s way, how this could affect his run for the Republican Presidential candidacy and how his MAGA base could be affected. In the Patreon portion of the show, the we discuss Marjorie Taylor Green’s 60 Minutes interview or as Marion brands it ‘one of the saddest days in journalism’ she’s ever seen. We get into the dangers of journalists not rebutting false claims. New York Congresswoman Alexandria OCasio Cortez’s calls for justice Clarence Thomas to be impeached and Marion breaks down why these calls have come to fruition. We discuss Robert F Kennedy’s Jr’s run for the Democratic bid or as Marion brands him the “crank and loser” candidate. To wrap the pod up, Marion gives a dose of positive news as Wisconsin elected a Democratic Supreme Court judge. Will this really make a difference? Marion thinks so. I am also on tour right now.

Sonia returns to the hills and roads that built her this week. Yes, it’s the 2023 Ballymore Cobh AC Sonia O’Sullivan 10 Mile Road Race and I was there to capture all of the sights and sounds of this unique event. Hundreds of runners of all levels lined up to take on the hills and I brought the microphone along for the ride. Thanks to Steve Daly, my running companion on the day, there is a condensed video of the race available to watch on www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad. From the pre-race vaseline to the post-race after party, this episode captures it all and is bound to give you a little bit of homesickness.

So the indictment you planned didn’t happen. You were all excited and now you’re sad. What happens next? Marion McKeone examines the latest developments in Donald Trumps’ endless pursuit of attention as he visited Waco this week. Is the DeSantis challenge starting to fizzle before it even gets on the runway, why do we still listen to pollsters when most Trump supporters refuse to give them honest answers. Murdoch’s lawyers get a wrap on the knuckles, Paltrow takes to the stand and Republicans respond to the latest mass shooting tragedy.

Who is Alvin Bragg? What exactly is his case against Donald Trump? And is there any truth in the claim that this indictment is political given the number of run-ins these two have had with each other? Marion is here to shed light on the whole bizarre tale. In the first half of today's show we purely focus on what makes this case different from that of Fani Willis in Georgia, why so many are lining up to take a swing at Alvin Bragg and whether there is an argument for leaving the whole Stormy Daniels hush money to one side. Like everything related to this man, it's not as straight forward as it looks and the implications for crossing him will impact both sides of the isle. Later on Marion goes back to South Carolina for the re-opening of a case related to the convicted murderer Alex Murdaugh.
