The Mario Rosenstock Podcast

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? Are you heading off this weekend? 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..Enjoy!Mario GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/giftgrubmariomariorosenstock@gmail.comThe Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

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/giftgrubmariomariorosenstock@gmail.comThe 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/giftgrubmariomariorosenstock@gmail.comThe Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

You might remember a time in the 1990s on Irish radio, when the ‘phone-in show’ was everywhere. Lots of radio stations, particularly in Dublin, had a late night talk show where callers phoned in and ‘expressed their opinions’ about hot topics, to put it mildly! One of the most talented broadcasters behind that genre of radio is my special guest on this episode – Niall Boylan. Niall was at the forefront of late night talk radio back then, but he has also been central to that format's evolution and success right up to today. He is the host of The Niall Boylan Show and Late Nite Live on Classic Hits Radio and he has seen the format change and evolve to reflect the change in Ireland’s society, social norms, and diversity. Indeed he has been a driver of that evolution. Niall has had the most eventful life you can imagine, so we had so much to chat about - I think you're really going to enjoy this one.COMEDYNiall plays a starring role in this week’s brand new and exclusive comedy sketch. He’s presenting his Late Nite Live radio show, the topic is how you would feel about your other half showing off their naked selves on Only Fans, and some familiar voices start phoning in… EnjoyMario GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/giftgrubmariomariorosenstock@gmail.comThe Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

If you love juicy, behind-the-scenes stories from the heyday of Dublin’s nightclub scene, then you’ve come to the right place. You probably know Amanda Brunker as one of Ireland’s best-known models, columnists and novelists, what you might not have known is that Amanda was also once hostess at Dublin’s most famous celebrity haunt, Reynards. That is where every Irish celebrity and every visiting international celebrity came to hang out and play. And in this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, Amanda shares some cracking stories about what went on among the rich and famous. Amanda and I also chat about journalism, modelling, how difficult it is to express a strong opinion today, her infamous appearance on stage at Oxegen festival, and her new play Curiosity which is now on at the International gay theatre festival in Dublin – make sure to get along to see it if you can http://www.gaytheatre.ie/programme-2022/curiosity/ COMEDYIt was a massive week for boxer Katie Taylor this week, 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 might or might not expect to hear from. We just got exclusive access to Katie’s voicemails this week, and it turns out her phone has predictably been hopping.. EnjoyMario GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/giftgrubmariomariorosenstock@gmail.comThe Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

He’s the Eurovision-winning Rock ‘n’ Roll kid, the lead singer of Michael Flatley’s ‘Celtic Tiger’ stage show, the friend who organised U2 to play at Tony Fenton’s funeral, and the man who convinced Roy Keane to sing a song in Lillie Bordello’s VIP room! There are a lot of fascinating strings to Paul Harrington’s bow. Jump in to hear all the stories.COMEDY:One of the big stories in the news this week has been Ireland’s turf war.

As ever, my colleagues in the podcast world have their own unique take on the issue, take a listen to Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally on My Therapist Ghosted me, and economist David McWilliams.GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/giftgrubmariomariorosenstock@gmail.comSend a whatsappp message or voicenote to the hotline on 087 2685459The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

If you are a sports fan or indeed a fan of Today FM and Newstalk radio, you will instantly recognise the voice of my special guest this week, the great John Duggan. John and I have worked together for over 20 years and in that time he has been one of the most unique, consistent, and recognisable sports broadcasters on air – and he has also been central to the evolution of Off The Ball from a Newstalk Radio show into Ireland’s leading multi-platform sports media brand. Whenever myself and John get together for a coffee or a pint, we generally start chatting about sport, but very quickly find ourselves getting deep about so many other things like US politics, media, life, and beyond! And that’s what I think you’re going to hear in this episode – a great, wide-ranging chat between two old friends, one where I think you’ll hear a totally different side to the person you hear on national radio all the time. There’s lots to come in this one folks.COMEDYSo as you might know I’m still on my national tour (it has been amazing) – and because I’ve been up and down the country several times a week, we’ve been playing you some of our favourite bits of comedy from the podcast from over the last few months, and this week we’re digging out more of the 'celebrity callers' to the show. If you’ve been tuning in regularly, you will know that during almost every interview, a few famous people (ah-em nudge wink) phone in and put some questions to my special guest. We have been having so much fun with this and there’ve been some classic moments. This week, we hear:·     ‘Miriam O’Callaghan’ getting a ‘saucy’ recipe from Neven Maguire·     Davy Fitz phoning into Ireland’s Fittest Family presenter Mairead Ronan and making all sorts of accusations about his fellow coaches·     Roy Keane phoning into his fellow Cork men The Two Norries – and he’s not happyEnjoy!GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/giftgrubmariomariorosenstock@gmail.comThe Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

My special guest on this episode is a comedian, a writer, and a traveller – he’s also one of the most interesting conversationalists that we’ve had on the series. Martin Beanz Warde and I talked for almost two hours about traveller culture and lifestyle, discrimination and acceptance, comedy and anxiety, and so much more. But while we edited the chat down a little, its still longer than most episodes on the series so far, because it deserves the time. It’s a fascinating chat between two people from different backgrounds that find so much common ground over the course of a long conversation – I hope you can take the time to listen closely, and in full.Follow Martin @martinbeanzCOMEDY:So we’re just over one year into The Mario Rosenstock Podcast now and if you’ve been tuning in regularly, you will know that during most interviews, a few famous people (nudge wink) phone in and put some questions to my special guest. We have been having a lot of fun with this and so we thought we’d go back over some of our earlier episodes from the series and find some of our very favourite calls to play you. Its like a little easter egg from us to you, except there’s no chocolate involved.GET IN TOUCH:https://www.instagram.com/mariorosenstockofficial/https://twitter.com/giftgrubmariomariorosenstock@gmail.comThe Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.

In case you missed it, here’s one of our favourite episodes from the series so far – my chat with Doireann Garrihy, first published in May 2021, this one’s a lot of fun…What do Pippa O’Connor, Mary Lou McDonald, Maura Higgins, Roz Purcell, and Daithi O’Se have in common? Doireann Garrihy does a frighteningly good impression of all of them. If you follow Doireann on social media or watch The Doireann Project on RTE you’ll know just how talented she is. So it is no surprise just how successful Doireann has become in such a short space of time.  Doireann and I have such a laugh throughout this chat – we hear the impressions and the funny stories, but she also has a couple of more serious things to vent about, such as her increasingly love/hate relationship with social media and the impact of spending so much time online. And in a rare Primetime special, Miriam O’Callaghan puts a few of Doireann’s characters through their paces.  Exclusive comedy: In this week’s sketch, which is exclusive to YOU as a fan of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, Pat Kenny can’t keep his cool anylonger after more than a year of talking to 'experts' about Covid. Enjoy!Mario Produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand | www.audiobrand.ie Hosted on Acast.
