Entries are open for the 2025 Ballymore Cobh AC Sonia O’Sullivan 10 Mile Road Race. In case you missed our last episode, this race will be the focus of the podcast from February 1st to April 6th. Sonia talks to me to today about the tricky process of sifting through all your entries for her squad. Since announcing the plan to pick 20 listeners to be coached by the GOAT herself for her home-coming dance race we have been inundated with your emails. It’s fantastic to see but it is taking some time to find the exact right fit for the team. Rest assured you will know if you’ve made the squad by Christmas.

The people of spoken. American has chosen its next President. Was this an ”unwinnable” race for Harris? What does it reveal about America? Should pollsters just resign and go work in a supermarket somewhere in Wisconsin? Is there a celebrity in shining armour who can rescue the Democrats from themselves? How will this selection affect Ukraine and Gaza? Marion McKeone and I reflect on what the hell just happened.

It’s squeaky bum time for America. Marion McKeone looks back on the past week of hateful rallies, botched messages and urgent pleas. What have been the biggest turning points in this incendiary election? And what does it take to move the needle in the final few days. Jarlath has had his feet on US soil this week as he tours his standup show through several states. What is he hearing on the ground and does it match up with what Marion has seen on the campaign trail?
