- He's Back - But At What Cost? - Irishman In America with Marion McKeoneNov 6, 2024 · 31 minThe people of spoken. American has chosen its next President. Was this an ”unwinnable” race for Harris?

- Last Chance For Harris & Trump - Irishman In America ( Taster Pod)Oct 25, 2024 · 9 minUnprecedented is a word that gets thrown around too much in relation to this election but when the military suddenly start getting involved in flagging one of the candidates as a fascist, that fits the bill.

- Donald's Mental Decline & Harris Gloves Off - Irishman In AmericaOct 18, 2024 · 28 minMarion takes us out on the campaign trail this week where things got very weird very fast. We look back on a week of tough questions, town halls and challenging moments for both candidates. Rumours have swirled about Donald Trumps sudden mental decline this week. Could he be facing a Joe Biden-like decrease in capacity or is he just a bored entertainer becoming increasingly cranky with his old worn out material? Are the polls reliable or are they being conservative in their estimates? Marion takes out her crystal ball to answer the question, ”What will he do if he loses?” Obviously, this time, he does not need to be shown from the building but will riots break out in swing states. One things is for sure the dialogue is changing or ramping up as the big day draws near.

- Marathon Myths Busted With Sonia O'Sullivan - Irishman Running AbroadOct 9, 2024 · 29 minNot too long ago Sonia was crossing the finish line to win her first ever marathon in Dublin.

- How Do You Swing A State - Irishman In AmericaOct 4, 2024 · 32 minMarion asks what will move needle in the minds of American swing voters? The VP Debate definitely didn’t do it. Jack Smith damning 165 page filing on January 6th doesn’t seem to have done it? Could the impact of Israel’s attacks on Iran make the difference? If that impact is at the gas pump you can bet Americans will notice. This week on the podcast we look back at an intense week on the campaign trail.

- Irishman In America - 38 Days To Go! (Sample)Sep 27, 2024 · 7 minThis week Donald tries to convince women he is their white knight, New York City has Gotham City’s problems, the Harris campaign shuns Al Smith and Marion looks ahead to the VP debate. Even the massive tech issues we had this morning with this episode couldn’t stop us getting you the exclusive Patreon weekly instalment of Irishman In America. We even managed to find the time to squeeze in a listener letter from Jack Ryan. With only 38 days until America goes to the polls both campaigns are zeroing in on the undecided voters in the swing states. Harris’s attempt to look like a gun owning ”get off my lawn” hardliner hit a bum note with Oprah while her latest ad from the Lincoln Project begs voters to get over ”the woman thing”. We look at what the polls say and whether they have been adjusted to be more reliable than in previous campaigns.
