My final guest of the season is the mercurial Ivan Yates. Over steak and mash, he shares his thoughts on everything from the mainstream media, the presidential controversy, why he fears for his grandchildren’s future, his predictions on Trump and the economy, and what he plans to do next.
Niall Breslin is a man of many lives. Former Leinster rugby player, frontman of The Blizzards, and now a neoclassical composer, PhD candidate, and co-founder of the charity A Lust for Life. In this chat, we talk about supporting Oasis and AC/DC, the six months he spent in Lebanon at 13 during the Nine-Day War, why fish should have died with the dinosaurs, and the one Twitter reply that finally made him log off for good.
Nuala Moore is an extreme open water and ice swimmer, Guinness World Records holder, professional scuba diver, and author of Limitless. We chat about growing up in a fishing family in Dingle, how her father's philosophy of the sea shaped the way she frames everything in life, and what it was like to lower herself off a ship alone, south of Cape Horn, with the engines fading into the distance and four albatross circling overhead.
Paul Murphy is a TD and one of the most vocal voices in Irish politics. In this chat, we go behind the scenes of life in the Dáil, explore the realities of political life, hear his journey from protest movements to elected office, and get his take on inequality, social media, and where Ireland is heading.
As a chef, I admire Anna greatly, not only as the head chef and owner of two award-winning establishments in London, but as someone genuinely grounded and exceptionally talented. We chat about growing up with dyslexia, leading a team and building a restaurant from scratch, balancing a busy career with motherhood, and why integrity matters more than perfection.
