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. Marion McKeone looks back on this week’s first GOP primary debate. With the troublesome child out of the room, she surveys the highlights and low lights from the night of many contradictions. Later in the show, on Patreon, she examines the Tucker Carlson interview in all its monotonous glory and her own near death experience while meeting the "real" Americans in Florida.

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

Do you feel awful at the end of your long run each week? Well that could be a sign that something is off in your weekly routine. It might not necessarily mean you’re unfit. Jarlath Regan speaks to Sonia O’Sullivan about his delirium at the end of his 20+ km runs. Recovery begins before the end of the run! Sonia gets into the nitty gritty of electrolytes, gels, salt tablets and more. If you’re a seasoned a marathoner or a complete rookie you’ll need to hear every minute of her insights on recovery and repair after the all important long run. Jarlath is preparing for the Dublin City Marathon in October. Why not join him. The Irishman Running Abroad Strava Club is 2000 members strong and growing.  Fancy little bit more Jarlath and Sonia each week?

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. There’s also Marion’s picks of the week and more.   Jarlath is going out on tour. He will be doing his latest standup show “Yer Man” across the autumn and winter.

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. Later in the show top physical therapist and coach Vinny Mulvey joins the show to fill us in on his week in the Alps with the On Running Team.

Marion McKeone chats to Jarlath about the latest legal troubles facing Donald Trump. What does this new indictment mean if anything, why is it all happening at once and how long will it take to see any sort of result from these cases. 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? Marion also looks at the United States Embassy in Dublin issuing a security alert for American travellers following a horrific attack on a U.S. visitor and the kidnapping of a US nurse and her child in Haiti.

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. Come and see me on tour this autumn. Visit www.jigser.com for all my tour dates. Or why not come to our next week u

Nobody does a financial scandal quite like the USA.

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. Later in the show elite physical therapist and coach Vinny Mulvey joins me to discuss the best way to prepare your week to run fast on a Saturday morning and how to make a Rocky trilogy in a month of Parkruns.

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 th

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. Are there some delinquent children that are so disruptive we are better off removing and ignoring them than pursuing each and every crime and misdemeanour they might be guilty of? Is letting Trump back in the door too high a price for justice? I am also on tour right now.

Sonia O'Sullivan chats to comedian & running newbie Jarlath Regan about the latest news in world athletics and how to adjust your running training when things are no longer going to plan. The ability to change is what separates the good from the great. Sonia is Ireland's greatest track athlete ever so she knows a thing or two about adjust. As a coach at Union Athletic Club in Nike's Portland HQ, her job is to spot the changes other athletes need to make. She identifies the best way to get your self out of a training funk through self assessment and honest feedback from people you trust. Later in the show she takes questions from the listeners on "over training", returning from injury and how to adjust your training as you get older. It's a jam packed episode with Jarlath taking on a gym session with elite Irish coach Vinny Mulvey for the very first time. Can adjusting your attitude to strength training really fend off injury and reduce your times dramatically? Sonia and Vinny are in total agreement on thi
