The Mario Rosenstock Podcast

Enda McNulty played football for Armagh, winning an All-Ireland medal and an All-Star award while he was at it. He has taken everything he learned on the pitch, combined it with deep study in to the human brain, and has now become one of Ireland’s top performance, leadership, and mental toughness coaches. He has worked with so many of the greats in sport and business. Enda has just published his second book, ‘Commit 2 Lead’ in which he shows us how we can ALL become great leaders. Roy Keane and Michael O’Leary aren’t so sure – and they make that very clear when they phone into talk to Enda – but after over an hour in the studio with Enda, I was convinced! COMEDY One of the big stories of the week was the news that Ryan Tubridy will soon be vacating the Late Late Show presenter’s chair, and the speculation about who is going to take over. Which horse will win the race for the chair? The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand

Shane Byrne spent many years playing rugby at the highest level, with 41 caps for Ireland and over 100 for Leinster. He also spent a couple of years at Saracens. But all of that was probably a doddle after the gruelling few weeks he has just spent being hurled around the Dancing with the Stars dance floor! Shane was voted out just a couple of weeks ago and he has kindly taken the time to join me in the studio to chat about his DWTS experience, his rugby career and adjusting to life after it, Andy Farrell and Ireland’s grand slam hopes, the fascinating story of his grandfather … and loads more Check out the Ireland vs England Legends game that Shane is organising this St Patrick's weekend https://www.planetrugby.com/news/ireland-and-england-legends-to-face-off-in-st-patricks-day-game-in-dublin COMEDY It’s one of the biggest weeks of the year for people that love a punt – yes, its Cheltenham time again. However, it also means it’s one of the biggest weeks of the year for gambling companies and those awful adverts that we’re subjected to ad nauseum… Produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand

When you think back to your formative years, what albums spring to mind? What music marked the major milestones? What songs made you – and still make you – laugh, cry or get lost in nostalgia? In this episode, my Today FM colleague Ed Smith joins me to talk about the three albums that helped shape him into the person he is today. And this is also the theme of Ed’s new podcast – it’s called Recorded History and in each episode Ed chats to musicians, writers, artists and creatives about the three records that have defined important or personal moments in their life. I love nothing more than a great, deep chat about music, so I’m in my element in this one. We have a throwback comedy sketch for you on this episode – it has just been announced that Ronan O’Gara is on the shortlist for the role of Head Coach of the England rugby team. Some people are delighted, others are devasted – we got exclusive access to his voicemails. The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand.

My guest on this episode was crowned Rose of Tralee in 2014 and she has pretty much been in the public eye ever since. She came out publicly for the first time just days after winning the contest, making her the first ever openly gay Rose of Tralee. Then in 2019 Maria was elected as an MEP for Midlands–North-West constituency at the European Parliament elections, and in doing so she became the youngest Irish MEP in the European Parliament. We chat about Maria's experience growing up between the US and Ireland, the whirlwind that was the rose of Tralee, the opposition she experienced when running for election, right wing politics, and lots more. COMEDY – Maria’s phone was buzzing in advance of this episode going live, check out the voicemails from well-known personalities…

Singer and songwriter Brian Kennedy is one of the most open, honest, heart-on-the-sleeve people you will ever meet, and he has such a powerful story to share. Brian has had a lot of health issues over the last few years and we do briefly touch on this part of his story, but we spend most of our time together chatting about the things you may not know about him - how he grew up in a pretty dysfunctional home during a very dysfunctional time in Belfast, how a teacher in his school discovered his voice and set him on the path he follows to this day, reconciling with a brother he didn’t talk to for years, and so many other very personal and poignant stories. But we also have such great craic and of course he gets a few celebs phoning in that want to chat to him live on the podcast, including David Norris, Van Morrison, and Professor Luke O’Neill. Brian's new album is called Folkie - https://www.briankennedy.co.uk/ COMEDY We cross over live to Leopardstown Racecourse for commentary on the RTE Top Salaries Steeplechase.

After seeing Billy Connolly perform on stage in Limerick , Karl Spain knew that he wanted to be a comedian. But it wasn’t going to be easy. He spent many nights in tiny comedy clubs, sometimes getting heckled, sometimes performing to just a handful of people. But he kept showing up and his tenacity has certainly paid off - Karl has carved out a successful career as a stand up, a writer for other comedians and for TV shows like RTE’s The Republic of Telly, and he's is just back from a massive UK tour supporting none other than the great Kevin Bridges! In this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, Karl tells his story and we have a good old natter about all things comedy too Karl’s tour dates: Thu 23rd Feb - Kavanagh’s, Portlaoise Fri 24th Feb - Dolans Warehouse, Limerick Sat 25th Feb - The Prop Room @ The TLT, Drogheda Fri 3rd Mar - Liberty Hall, Dublin Fri 10th Mar - Riverside Coleraine Sat 11th Mar - Nerve Centre, Derry Sun 12th Mar - Limelight 1, Belfast COMEDY – Bertie Ahern is back!

As you’d expect, Louis Walsh does not hold back in our conversation for this week’s episode – he dishes out the detail on everything and everyone, from his relationship with Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy, to negotiating his X-Factor salary with Simon Cowell, and also what he thought of Britney Spears after spending a couple of days with her on America's Got Talent. But we also find out about the young Louis Walsh, what his parents did for a living, what he was like in school and even how, if he hadn’t become a pop music mogul, he might have become a priest!

Ciara Kelly co-presents the Newstalk breakfast show with Shane Coleman and it is her job to have a clear and comprehensive opinion on pretty much anything that can crop up in the news, and she certainly does that job very well. In this no holds barred conversation, we get stuck right into so many topics from women in media and twitter users versus radio show texters, to pronouns, gender identity, and the right to hold an opinion that may not be too popular. I also learn about what Ciara was like in school and how she ended up as a GP. This episode, if I say so myself, is podcast gold!

Are all calories created equal? Why is that last half stone so hard to lose? What’s the healthiest evening snack you can eat? These are just some of the questions that Karl Henry, he of Operation Transformation fame, has the answer to in this episode. Karl and I also tackle a couple of trickier subjects, like should we really be telling people its ok to be obese if that’s what they want to be, or is it now taboo to call someone fat, and should the word be banned? The callers were lining up to chat to Karl, he hears from Dr Eva Orsmond, Keith Duffy, Miriam O’Callaghan, and even George Hook. You can watch Karl on Operation Transformation every Wednesday at 21:30 on RTÉ One and on the RTÉ Player.

Keith Duffy of Boyzone fame joins me on this episode and reveals all.

Jarlath Regan, comedian and host of the highly successful Irishman Abroad podcast has spent the last 10 year living in London – he has raised a family and built his career there but his goal from day one was always to get back home again. And that’s exactly what he did just a couple of months ago. I think if you’ve ever lived abroad for a period of time, you’re really going to connect with Jarlath’s story – he talks about why he moved away in the first place, , the difficulties of settling into a new culture, and how it feels to return to a very different Ireland than the one he left. Jarlath also has a lot to say about Irish culture, British culture, comedy, podcasting, and even how running has transformed his life and saved him a fortune in therapy bills! To keep up with Jarlath's gigs and projects visit https://www.jigser.com/ COMEDY It's all about Prince Harry’s explosive new book this week.

Here's a little comedy selection box for you, packed full of my favourite comedy sketches from over the last few months of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast. I hope you enjoy – and if you do, subscribe, follow and tell a friend!

One of my big highlights of 2022 was winning the award for Best Comedy Podcast at the Irish Podcast Awards. When we set out to make this show one of the things we wanted to do was have brand new and exclusive comedy sketches in every episode and also to weave in little bits of ad-lib comedy into every interview on the show to make it different and to surprise you and my guest. We want this show to be unique, to offer you something that you’re not going to get on any other podcast, and that’s what we’re trying to do every week through comedy. So we were delighted that the judges at the Irish Podcast Awards recognised this and awarded us the gold gong! In order to enter the awards, we had to submit a short selection of some of our favourite bits of comedy from the previous year. Hit that play button if you'd like to hear it!

So have you ever fretted about using your diesel car to get closer to nature, eating your ethical food off a plastic plate, or just simply existing on the earth! Then my guest on this episode has the very book for you. Colm O’Regan is a stand up comedian, broadcaster, podcaster, and best-selling author – his new book is called Climate Worrier: a hypocrite’s guide to saving the planet. This is a great book for people who aren’t hardcore environmentalists but at the same time really do care about the environment and who would like to do what they can, in the time they have. Which is probably most people really. In my chat with Colm he tells me all about it, why he wrote it, and we get through a lot more besides.. Comedy - a classic Gift Grub from during the week, a parody on the old classic Barry's Tea advert. Produced by Patrick Haughey of www.audiobrand.ie

Its fair to say that Lynn Ruane not your “typical” Irish politician – she’s from a very working class background in Dublin, developed a drug addiction in her teens, became a mother at 15, and has generally had a life that might be called ‘unconventional’ in the context of politics in Ireland. And yet that’s what makes Lynn such an interesting and effective politician – she represents a huge yet traditionally under-represented part of Ireland, shakes things up in government building and shines a light on some long-standing and accepted injustices that have arguably have been allowed to last for far too long. Lynn is also so much fun; she’s insightful, open and honest and we chat about all sorts of interesting stuff, including how her passion can be judged as aggression, the classist politician that inspired the title of her book ‘People Like Me’, and why Ireland’s drug laws are now so outdated and in need of reform. We also had a lot of the regulars phoning in to speak to Senator Ruane, including ‘Ballymun Paschal’, The Two Norries, and her fellow Senator, David Norris.

As presenter of TV shows such as Home of the Year, The Great House Revival and My Bungalow Bliss, architect Hugh Wallace has become a regular fixture on our TV screens. He has also been very outspoken about the housing crisis and the need for more creativity on the part of the government when it comes to address it. And yes we do touch on this topic in our chat, but I actually wanted to spend most of my time with Hugh getting to know him better – how he got in to architecture, what it was like growing up as a gay man in a very conservative Ireland, his struggles with alcohol, his dyslexia and even the time he got to dance with Freddy Mercury in Studio 54! COMEDY: Michael O’Leary is set to hold the reins of Ryanair for a further six years – the media and other world leaders are all about the story!

Michael O’Toole has been one of Ireland’s leading crime journalists for over two decades. As crime correspondent at the Irish Daily Star, he has covered all of the big stories about major criminals, knocked on so many doors that many of us wouldn’t dream of approaching, and he has now entered the world of crime fiction with his new novel, Black Light. We covered so much in our chat, from female fascination of True Crime, the question of Evil, the skill involved in tabloid journalism, to how his career has shaped him as a person. COMEDY: David McWilliams sets out to deliver an economic review of the year, but descends into painful memories of Christmases past.

Bill Whelan was NOT expecting to get a call from Michael Flatley during our conversation for this week’s episode. But despite the fact that they haven’t always seen eye to eye, it all seemed to go pretty well. The two men of course worked together on Riverdance – Bill composed the iconic score, and Flatley was his lead dancer, along with Jean Butler. Arguably, it was a piece of music and dance that helped changed the face and perception of Ireland forever. Bill has just published his memoirs – The Road to Riverdance – and he gives me so many fascinating behind-the-scenes stories from its creation and success, including revealing the inspiration for the music's unique time signatures which still compel me to this day. But its not all about Riverdance. Bill has written and produced music for all the greats, including U2, Kate Bush and Van Morrison. In this conversation, which I loved every minute of, he shares so many stories from a career working at the highest levels of the music industry. COMEDY: Ronan O'Gara is on the shortlist for the job of England team Head Coach - this has caused quite a stir - we get exclusive access to his voicemails..

If you listen to Today FM, Newstalk or that great Inside the Crime podcast, you will be familiar with Frank Greaney. He is fast becoming one of Ireland’s most respected and listened-to courts correspondents. I love his on-air appearances with Matt Cooper and they have been inspiring quite a few Gift Grub sketches recently. When you hear Frank talk about what he does, why he does it and the cases that have made the most impact on him, you’ll understand why he is so compelling to listen to. Frank reveals what inspired him to get into the field of crime, it's impact on him and his thoughts on judicial sentencing in Ireland. We also explore how far Ireland has come in the last 40 years as Frank speaks about his hit podcast Inside The Crime, Season 2. Listen here: https://link.goloudplayer.com/s/sGka1zw21OAF And if he doesn't have enough stings to his bow, Frank also has a Burger Restaurant in Galway. An idea that originated over a few pints in the pub is now a thriving success. As you can imagine, many callers phoned in to speak to Frank but it was, Michael D. of all people, that Frank had a bone to pick with!

Like a lot of people in Ireland I have recently become fascinated by UK politics. It has just gone mad in Westminster, and some of the characters at the centre of the drama are stranger than fiction. My guest on this episode captures this craziness better than anyone I know – Marina Hyde of The Guardian newspaper. I have been reading Marina's columns religiously for years now and when she accepted our invitation to be a guest on this humble oul podcast I was blown away. Marina speaks just as well as she writes, and we get stuck right into all the madness that going on across the pond in this chat. Details of Marina’s new book are here https://guardianbookshop.com/what-just-happened-9781783352593?gclid=Cj0KCQiAgribBhDkARIsAASA5bv4fRSQy23vcyc2r5dn1k_zm0PF4VWtabQnSxtHaiP9h_qLn-gJ7EgaArZuEALw_wcB COMEDY We’re going to stay on the topic of international politics, this time to the west of us. Because the midterm elections are in full swing in the states, and a few of my podcasting colleagues have been keeping a close on them. Including, David McWilliams and My Therapist Ghosted Me. Enjoy!

I love music. There are few things I love more than a deep and detailed conversation about music. Im just fascinated about how songs are written, what drives the people who write them, what makes one song a worldwide hit and another a flop. There’s just so much to learn and discover. So for this episode I invited my old friend Tom Dunne back into the studio to continue the chat we started a few months ago here on the pod. In this one, we talk the greats, both past and present. From The Beatles, Dylan and Bowie to Al Green, Don McLean, Harry Styles and Lizzo. He also shares his experience of seeing Paul McCartney at Glastonbury and his opinions on whether Harry Styles fits the typical bill for headlining Slane. Even if you are not obsessive about music like I am, you’re still going to love Tom’s brilliant stories, told in his own inimitable way. In this week's comedy sketch, some famous musicians leave messages about the best gigs they have ever been to. Produced by Patrick Haughey - www.audiobrand.ie

It's hard to describe Roddy Collins. Footballer, football manager, boxer, brother of a boxing world champion, practical joker, social commentator, author..the list goes on. Not only does Roddy have great stories to tell, he also tells them so well. We talk about life in football’s lower divisions, settling local disputes in the ring, practical jokes that went too far, and walking the streets of Dublin chatting to homeless people and hearing their stories. Roddy’s new book is called The Rodfather: Inside the Beautiful (Ugly, Ridiculous, Hilarious) Game COMEDY: What’s going on the UK?

If you’re a fan of The Restaurant on Virgin Media Television, you’ll be familiar with Gary O’Hanlon. He’s one of the chefs in the kitchen helping the celebrities to cook their menus - you can’t miss him: huge mohawk, big smile, and an even bigger personality. He has had a very successful career in the fascinating world of restaurants and he’s also very involved in radio, podcasts and TV. On this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, Gary and I talk about the cult of the celebrity chef, working with Marco Pierre White, why some people turn in to complete divas when they’re out in a restaurant and treat the waiting staff like crap, his love of Man Utd, and some very personal topics that might resonate with you or someone you know. COMEDY We don’t often do this on the podcast but there is a breaking news story that we need to cover. Just when you thought the controversy about the Irish women’s football team and ‘that song’ had all blown over, the team is right back in the middle of an even bigger scandal.

If you’re a fan of RTE’s Hell Week series, you’ll be very familiar with Ray Goggins – a former Irish army Ranger (basically our version of the SAS or Navy Seals), now chief instructor on this incredibly popular TV series. Ray joined me for a fascinating chat a couple of episodes ago, but we chopped out a part of that conversation and held it back for this special bonus episode. Because that shocking video of the repeated ramming of a Garda car in Cherry Orchard had just emerged and I was very interested in what Ray thought about it, given his background. He had some pretty strong views, which you’re about to hear. I also asked Ray him about war movies and if any of them really capture the reality of what happens on the ground in a conflict. I hope you enjoy this one.

I work with Dave Moore every day. We sit mere yards from each other in Today FM, have done for years. We’ve shared studios and the odd night out. So naturally I thought I knew Dave well, but it turns out that there is SO much to this man that I had no idea about. Like his successful career as a songwriter and music producer before he ever started to work in radio. Like the totally random and unexpected way he ended up working with Dermot Whelan over 20 years ago now. Or like the recent hit Netflix series that featured Dave’s reworking of a Radiohead classic. And so much more besides. So in this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, you’re going to learn a lot more about Dave Moore, and I think you’ll get a good laugh too. COMEDY: What a week it has been for Irish sport, as the women’s football team beat Scotland to qualify for the World Cup in Australia. The phone of manager Vera Pauw has been hopping, everyone’s leaving her voicemails. We got exclusive access to those messages, and I think you’re going to want to hear them… Enjoy!

Renting, eviction, living with parents, pensions and politics. Rory Hearne joins me to talk about a subject I am both fascinated by and very angry about, the Irish Housing Crisis. From the difficulty of living at home with parents, to how our pensions are feeding the vulture funds and how we can start to take action for change. Turns out that Rory and I have quite a bit in common - we're both 'blaa-heads' (ie from Waterford!) and we both spent a few years living in private rented accommodation during childhood. Press play to hear our stories, opinions and solutions about this major issue of our times. Rory's book is called "GAFFS: Why No One Can Get a House, and What We Can Do About" COMEDY Sticking with the topic of housing, it’s also one that economist David McWilliams is very interested in. He was talking about it in a recent episode of his podcast, and you’ll never guess who dropped into the studio mid-recording… GET IN TOUCH: https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/ https://twitter.com/giftgrubmario [email protected] The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of www.AudioBrand.ie

For 22 years Clelia Murphy played Niamh Cassidy in Fair City – what a rollercoaster ride that was. The storylines in Ireland’s most famous soap are the stuff of legend, and Clelia / Niamh got her fair share of them. I used to get some great material for Gift Grub from Fair City. In this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, Clelia opens up about life in Fair City, why she left, and the great roles she now enjoys on the BBC and beyond. She also vents about poor etiquette amongst her fellow electric car owners, reveals the reactions she used to get from Fair City fans when out in public, and Clelia also gets calls from Leo Varadkar, Paschal Donohoe, and her former Fair City colleagues. COMEDY This is one of the time of the year when radio and tv presenters get very, very excited.

True story: as Ultimate Hell Week chief instructor, Ray Goggins, was climbing the stairs up to the studio for our chat, he was scoping out all of the entry and exit points, and working out the fastest escape route from the building if he were to need one. Thankfully he didn’t need to make a quick escape, but as he explains, you can take the man out of the Rangers, but you can’t take the Rangers out of the man. Ray served in the Irish Army for 26 years, including 17 years in the Army Ranger Wing as an operator and leader in a Tier 1 Special Operations Unit – he has been in incredibly dangerous situations, seen awful sights, and learned so much about himself and others along the way. He shares so many great stories in this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, and he even gets a few interesting callers, including fellow Cork man Roy Keane, Christy Moore, Ray Darcy, and even Francis Brennan!Ultimate Hell Week: The Professionals – RTE 1 https://www.rte.ie/tv/programmes/1244359-ultimate-hell-week-the-professionals/Ray’s training and development company https://coreskilltraining.org/Ray’s book: Ranger 22 – Lessons from the front https://www.gillbooks.ie/biography/biography/ranger-22 COMEDY: The Ploughing Championships are finally back!

I just love getting a great recommendation for a podcast guest that really, really works out. When The Two Norries joined me for a chat a few months ago, they told me that I should really interview this guy called Willa White , an actor and a comedian. I had heard of Willa before but didn’t know too much about him - so we checked him out , and my goodness does this man have an incredible story to tell - from an abusive childhood to drug abuse and how his road to recovery led him to find comedy and acting (in roles including Love/Hate and The Savage Eye). In a humbling and honest conversation, Willa opens up about his upbringing, escapism, jail time, performance and forgiveness.Between laughs and tears, this is one story that you won't want to miss. COMEDY: It's an exciting week for us here at the Mario Rosenstock Podcast as we’re up for ‘Best Comedy’ at the Irish Podcast Awards!

I love a good conspiracy theory. But even more, I love to hear them stripped down, analysed, and debunked. On this episode of the Mario Rosenstock Podcast, Ireland’s best known environmental journalist and campaigner, John Gibbons, joins me to look at some of the most prevalent and popular ‘myths’ about climate change, and prove them wrong. John is very passionate about this subject and he’s not afraid to tell it like it is and ruffle a few feathers here and there, and he does so in very plain, accessible English - which isn’t always the case when it comes to the topic of climate change.

On the centenary of the Big Fellow’s death, I thought you might like another (or a first) chance to hear a fascinating conversation between myself and ‘historical entertainer’ Paddy Cullivan. Paddy is currently performing his show ‘The Murder of Michael Collins’ to sold-out venues around Ireland – check out  https://www.paddycullivan.com/ for info. Enjoy! Original show notes: As well as being the front man of the Camembert Quartet (Late Late Show house band), Paddy Cullivan is an ‘historical entertainer’. What is that, you might ask? Well, he cleverly brings together all of the things he loves - history, music, comedy and the visual arts – and combines them into stage shows where he takes big historical stories and makes them accessible and entertaining, while also challenging the ‘accepted narratives’ of these pieces of history. His latest show focuses on the murder of Michael Collins at Bealna Blath – if you’re an Irish history buff you’re going to love (or hate!)hearing all about that, but we also get deep into other fascinating areas likeconspiracy theories, 9/11, JFK’s assassination, and why, as someone who knowsso much about history, he is a deeply cynical about how the Ukraine War isbeing handled politically. Its deep stuff, but as ever on this podcast, full ofgreat craic.  COMEDY We’re just over one year into The Mario Rosenstock podcast nowand every week we have brought you a brand new and exclusive comedy sketch. Sowe thought it was a nice time to go back over some of our very first comedysketches and pick one our favourites to play you again. The one we have picked for you this week was inspired by atwitter moment that became very famous during one of the last lockdowns. Do youremember when Tony Holohan was out and about in Dublin city in his car onesunny evening and he got an awful shock when he saw large crowdsgathering, having what he described as ‘a major open air party’? He was shockedand appalled what he witnessed and he sent out a very angry tweet to thateffect. It got us thinking about what that kind of, lets say ‘paternal’approach, might lead to in the future… GET IN TOUCH: https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/giftgrubmario [email protected] The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

This week I’m joined again by one of my favourite guests, Larissa Nolan. Informed, opinionated, and fascinating on so many issues, last week Larissa and I had a fascinating discussion about the housing crisis, this week we talk about the current state of journalism and why it needs a major shot in the arm. Journalism is such an critical, central part of our daily lives, our society and how it runs, but Larissa believes it is in crisis and urgently needs to be saved – we talk about why, and, most importantly, how.COMEDY:We went rooting through the archives again this week and dug out more of our favourite comedy sketches. I have great fun doing impressions of some of my favourite podcasters, David McWilliams in particular. David is a great man for the economic analogies, and he also loves swinging from southside boy to northside lad in the space of seconds on his podcast with producer John Davis. I have great fun with this.

August is a great time for some light podcast listening, so we’ve put together a very special episode for you, packed full of my favourite comedy sketches from over the last few months of the Mario Rosenstock Podcast. I hope you enjoy – and if you do, subscribe, follow and tell a friend!Sketches: 1.    Both Tony Holohan and Paul Reid are stepping down from their respective roles in the health service – as two prominent figures throughout Ireland’s Covid pandemic response, there’s an ‘end of an era’ feel about it all. Of course there were going away drinks, and The Mario Rosenstock podcast had secret microphones in the room – take a listen… 2.    Now that Boris Johnson has finally succumbed to the pressure and resigned, what is he going to do next? Enter the Love Island villa of course!! 3.    So EVERYONE is talking about this GAA catfish story by The 2 Johnnies. You know the one about the girl who created several different fake social media profiles in order to lure in several GAA players and others, including Johnny B of The 2Johnnies. It is fascinating stuff. They talk all about it on their 2 Johnnies Podcast. But loads of other podcasters have been talking about it too, including Eamon Dunphy and John Giles on The Stand.. 4.    What about those crazy queues and delays at Dublin airport – have you been affected yourself? Well Ryanair never misses a trick, and they have come up with a very ‘interesting’ offering for passengers that don’t want to be stuck waiting at the airport for hours. We’ve got our hands on the ad, check it out.. 5.    Katie Taylor enjoyed a huge win against Amanda Serrano in April , and when someone achieves the kind of fame that Katie now has, the phone starts ringing, big time. You get calls from all sorts of people that you mightn’t expect to hear from. We got exclusive access to Katie’s voicemails, and it turns out her phone has predictably been hopping.. 6.    As the ‘Wagatha Christie’ trial came to an end, Roy Keane and Jamie Carragher had a heated debate about it on Sky Sports… GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/[email protected] Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

I’ve been presenting this podcast for over a year now, and a recurring theme has been the immense difficulty that many of us face when trying to buy a home or find a place with affordable rent. Guests like Bressie, TD Richard Boyd Barrett, and writer Mark O’ Halloran have opened up about their struggles trying to find a place to live, and it is really is a sign of the times when successful people like they have such difficulty in this regard.  This is also a topic that I’m deeply interested in and so I wanted to dedicate a whole episode of the podcast to it. One of my favourite people to chat to about societal issues like these is journalist Larissa Nolan, not only is she very passionate and informed about the housing crisis, she has also personal experience, having faced homelessness just a few years ago. So in this episode we talk about her personal experience, what has led to this country facing in to such a housing crisis, who is to blame and who might be able to get us out of it. It’s a bit of a different one, but I think you’re going to really enjoy itCOMEDYWe take a little trip down memory lane and to one of our favourite comedy sketches from the last few months. It was a rare occasion when my special guest played a starring role in the comedy sketch – the guest was Niall Boylan, one of Ireland’s best known phone-in talk show presenters. Host of The Niall Boylan Show AND Late Nite Live on Classic Hits radio, Niall is a master at moderating live on air discussions with callers, many of which can get very heated. The particular discussion you’re about to hear Niall chair now, features some familiar voices…Enjoy!Mario GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/[email protected] Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

When we were all locked down during Covid and getting 150 funny whatsapp videos sent to the phone every day, there’s a very good chance that one of those videos was a sketch from the DirtBirds - comedy duo Sinead Culbert and Sue Collins. To describe what they do, here’s the description of their latest tour: "In a world where women are expected to have the patience of mother Teresa, the arse of Jennifer Lopez, the social media profile of Kim Kardashian and the BMI of Elle McPherson, the pressure is relentless. Dirtbirds’ hilarious new show ‘No Filters’ takes a close look at the barrage of bullshit we are subjected to on a daily basis and reminds us that despite what we’re told, there is no such thing as perfect (except maybe Jamie Dornan’s arse in Fifty Shades Darker)Sue and Sinead have a razor sharp wit, they’re great performers, and they tell it like it is. So as you can imagine, we had a lot of fun in this episode of the Mario Rosenstock podcast. Check out dirtbirds.net for all the info you need about where you can catch the tour.(They’re also at the Paddy Power comedy festival in Dublin this week from today Thursday 21st July – if you’re reading this in time) Hosted on Acast.

This is a very open, honest, and captivating conversation with one of football’s most gifted players. Oisín McConville has won several Ulster titles, All Ireland medals, and a national league title. He became Ulster football’s top scorer and was awarded two All-Stars during his career. But while he was enjoying incredible success on the pitch, Oisin’s personal life was spiralling out of control. A gambling addiction saw him run up massive debts, fall out with friends and family, and have suicidal thoughts. In this episode of The Mario Rosenstock podcast, Oisin opens up about his love (and hate) for football, how he overcame a destructive gambling addiction, and he tells me the fascinating history of Crossmaglen and how the British Army (inadvertently) helped his team succeed. COMEDY:The big heatwave is here and all of my podcast colleagues are talking about it, especially David McWilliams and Joanne McNally and Vogue Williams. Enjoy!Mario GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/[email protected] Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

My favourite sport is tennis. I’ve loved it since I was 10 years of age when I first watched Bjorn Borg on Centre Court at Wimbledon. Ever since then, I’ve hit thousands and thousands of tennis balls, I play as often as I can. Why do I love this game so much? Because being on court is a lot like being on stage (you’ll hear why at the start of the episode). But you know what? I actually get more nervous on the court than I do on the stage!So this week I’ve indulged my sporting passion and go deep on tennis. Im joined by former Irish no 1 tennis player Conor Niland. He has played at Wimbledon, taken on the greats, experienced the highs and the lows, and he shares all of those stories on this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast.COMEDY:Now that Boris Johnson has finally succumbed to the pressure and resigned, what is he going to do next?

‘Celebrity solicitor’, ‘Lawyer to the Stars’, ‘Man about town’, ‘Bon viveur’…Gerald Kean has a lot of titles, but to that list we can add tireless charity fundraiser, doting father, and great storyteller. You may know Gerald from his many appearances on radio, TV and in the social pages of the newspapers, but you will only have come to know a certain side to Gerald through that coverage, and I think over the course of this conversation, you might get to know some of the many other sides to the man. COMEDY:Both Tony Holohan and Paul Reid are stepping down from their respective roles in the health service – as two prominent figures throughout Ireland’s Covid pandemic response, there’s an ‘end of an era’ feel about it all.

If you,like me, are a fan of The Last Word with Matt Cooper on Today FM, then you will probably be very familiar with my special guest on this episode, the ever-fascinating Cal Thomas.Cal, along with journalist Marion McKeown, has a weekly slot on Matt’s show, where they debate the big stories and issues happening in the US – Marion generally leans liberally, Cal leans conservatively, and them sometimes they meet somewhere in the middle. It is always a great listen.Marion was a guest on this podcast a few months ago, so this week its Cal’s turn. He’s one of America’s best known and ‘longest-serving’ journalists – a former Fox news host, his columns are syndicated all over the US print media, and he has penned several best-selling books. He’s eloquent, intelligent, and he always has an opinion.COMEDY:All the talk is about fuel prices at the moment – there’s even talk now about fuel rationing – David McWilliams and Blindboy are talking about it on their podcasts..Enjoy!Mario GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/[email protected] Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

If there’s such a thing as a ‘celebrity’ politician then Richard Boyd Barrett would surely make the cut. A very familiar face and voice on TV and radio, Richard is eloquent and outspoken, goes against the grain when it comes to the Dail dress code, and he’s mates with one of the world’s top supermodels Bella Hadid. Well, he doesn’t actually know her, but she does follow him on Instagram and has been sharing a few of his posts recently. More on that, and loads more, in the interview. Check it out. COMEDY:What about President Michael D Higgins’ housing speech this week? It has caused quite the stir – we got exclusive access to his voicemails, and he has been getting a lot of calls since making that speech.. Enjoy!Mario GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/[email protected] Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

She’s fresh off the Dancing with the Stars dance floor, winner’s trophy in hand, and she has also just been unveiled as the new coach on Irish Fittest family - Nina Carberry is a seriously busy lady right now. So I was both surprised and delighted when she accepted our invitation to join me for a chat on The Mario Rosenstock Podcast.   Nina has had a stellar career as a jockey, and it is very much in her DNA having been born into a famous racing family and then marrying into another! We talk all about her deep love of horses and the sport, her experience on DWTS, her competitive and extremely hard-working nature, and tonnes more! COMEDY So EVERYONE is talking about this GAA catfish story by The 2 Johnnies.

Muireann O’Connell is an incredibly sharp, witty, and well-read person who always has something interesting to say and a great story to tell, and that’s why she makes for the perfect Mario Rosenstock podcast guest. We used to work together in Today FM before Muireann took up a full time role in Virgin Media, and she currently presents Ireland AM with Tommy Bowe and Alan Hughes.We chat about TV vs Radio, insomnia, true crime podcasts, if women are safe on the streets of Ireland, and a recent hilarious moment on Ireland AM involving Daniel O’Donnell on zoom and Majella on the bed. Muireann also gets a few callers, including Ronan O’Gara, wee Daniel, George Hook, and Roy Keane.COMEDYThis week, its all about those crazy queues and delays at Dublin airport – have you been affected yourself?

In case you missed it... this is a fascinating insight into the mind of ROG - his mindset, his ambitions, and what makes him cry. First released in March 2021 - but with the week thats in it, a very interesting listen-back.ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES Midway through my interview with ROG there was a pitch invasion. Not the kind either he and I are used to – the kind where a bunch of kids storm the room and demand that I start to do impressions of their father. It was the best kind of interruption to any interview I’ve ever done, have a listen. Pitch invasions aside, ROG did NOT hold back in this chat. From his home in France, he’s unimpressed with how the Irish authorities are approaching lockdowns; he pulled me up on a few of my impressions and my thoughts his Rugby career; and he was incredibly open about how much the mood in the La Rochelle camp needs to improve. But he also shared some touching stories about how he cried watching Rachel Blackmore’s post-win Cheltenham interview; his deep, unwavering love of Cork; and, most importantly, how he well I’m ageing. So basically I’m a seriously HOT 50-yr old  (my words not his). Also, in this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, we’re bringing you some brand new comedy. In a week where mandatory quarantines have dominated the news agenda, I check out what some of my favourite podcasters are saying about it – Tommy and Hector, Blindboy, and David Mcwilliams – and eavesdrop on some not-for-air editorial discussions. Enjoy – and drop me a line any time on the details belowCheers!MarioTwitter: @GiftGrubMarioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mariorosenstockofficial/Insta: Working onit!!!Produced by: Patrick Haughey,AudioBrand.  Hosted on Acast.

With all of the crazy things that have been happening in the world over the last few years (Brexit, Covid, war, inflation...), who better to ask what this means for you and I and our wallets than the expert economist who can break it all down in the simplest of terms, replete with catchy metaphors and analogies, and laser sharp soundbites.David McWilliams and I met in studio the other day and recorded a conversation that not only picked through the weighty issues of our time like housing, inflation, social inequality and David’s expert opinion on those and more; but David also shared some great stories from his time at the Davos Economic Forum, he revealed why he fell in love with economics all those years ago, and he takes a few calls from the like of Leo Varadkar, Eddie Hobbs and even Blindboy Boatcub! We have a lot of laughs too.And once you’ve had a listen, make sure to check out the line-up for the Dalkey Book Festival which is organised by David and his wife Sian Smyth - https://www.dalkeybookfestival.org/programme-2022/COMEDYWe look across the pond to the gift that keeps on giving – Boris Johnson. So it turns out that he WAS at that Downing Street party after all. You know, the one in the middle of those Covid restrictions, that HIS government introduced! But, as you might expect, this doesn’t change a thing in his view, nothing to see here, no reason to step down, its onwards and upwards …As usual, my fellow podcasters have their own unique take on this story – Nicola Tallant and Vogue Williams and Joanne McNallyEnjoy!Mario GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/[email protected] Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

Mick McCarthy was just one of the ‘callers’ who phoned in to chat with this week’s special guest, the great Tony Cascarino. As well as a call from his former gaffer, Tony heard from Roy Keane, Boris Johnson, Steve Staunton, Robbie Keane, and a few more besides – because everyone loves chatting this man. Tony is legend of Irish international football, a highly respected pundit on radio and TV, and a bit of a ‘cheeky chappie’ character to boot.Tony and I chat about sport, poker, footballer salaries, hooliganism, and lots more…COMEDY: Staying with the theme of soccer, it was a HUGE week for the sport – all eyes were on two of the game’s most controversial and divisive characters, and some of the biggest pundits on TV are dissecting all of the details…of Wagatha Christie!Enjoy!Mario GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/[email protected] Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.
