The Mario Rosenstock Podcast

The government has been through some high and lows recently: lows when yet more vaccine roll-out problems showed up, highs when the call about a huge, unexpected batch of vaccines for Ireland came through. Wouldn’t you just love to have been in the room when that call came in? Well, our microphones were… Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

It has been a while since George Hook and I last passed each other in the corridors of Marconi House. His departure as drivetime host at Newstalk Radio was a well-publicised and controversial one, and one that we discuss at length in this great conversation, as it brings up a lot of bigger, very current issues. However we talk about so much more, such as his marriage to ‘the lovely Ingrid’ which has never been happier, why he believes history will not be kind to Nphet, modern rubgy punditry, and how he would like to be remembered.This is a compelling and entertaining chat packed full of opinions and good humour, I think you’ll really like it. COMEDY: this was also the week of highs and lows for the government: lows when yet more vaccine roll-out problems showed up, highs when the call about a huge, unexpected batch of vaccines for Ireland came through. Wouldn’t you just love to have been in the room when that call came in? Well, our microphones were…Enjoy!Mario Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

I’ve been doing sketches almost every day for the last 22 years, and I’ve noticed something very interesting: history repeats itself over and over again. Usually in a a bad way. So, why can’t we humans ever learn from our mistakes? If you can spare a couple of minutes, click play and I’ll boil it all down for you in one quick sketch. Hosted on Acast.

My guests on this episode do NOT hold back, and rightly so. Let’s face it, there’s a lot to get off our chests these days and what better way to help the nation vent than to get Joanne Riordan, podcaster and star of No Limbs No Limits, and broadcaster Suzanne Kane around a virtual table to sound off about some of the things we’re all talking about these days – like the Dail circus, movie awards on zoom, iPhone Memory videos from a time we could eat, drink and be merry, Claire Byrne Live’s crazy reconstructions, and so, so much more.Ive also got a whole new type of sketch for you, perhaps very different to what you’re used to. I had a lot of fun making it and I hope you have fun listening to it. After you’ve listened to the panel, feel free to get in touch with an email, tweet, facebook, message, even a voicenote would be brilliant!

We had an amazing reaction to this comedy sketch from the recent Conor Moore episode – if you missed it, drop in here and have a listen! And when you’ve got a bit more time, you’ve got to check out my chat with Conor in episode 3, so many great impressions. Enjoy! Mario.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode we have 47 guests for you. Tiger Woods, Ian Poulter, Tommy Tiernan, Ger Loughnan, Conor McGregor, Michael D Higgins, and Miriam O’Callaghan to name just a few. Now isn’t that great value for 46 minutes of your time. Conor Moore really is one to watch. From doing impressions of Eamon Dunphy in school, to breaking America with his top-class impressions of the superstars of golf, this Mullingar-man’s story is a great one. I had a ball chatting to him, hearing him do his thing, discussing how we both approach the same voices in totally different ways, finding out how he learns a new character, and loads more. Also on this episode of The Mario Rosenstock Podcast, you get a brand spanking new comedy sketch that you won’t hear anywhere else. Get in here!!MarioTwitter: @GiftGrubMarioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mariorosenstockofficial/Insta: Working onit!!!Produced by: Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand.  Hosted on Acast.

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 aging. 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.

Ian Dempsey has never been brave enough to get a massage – and for a very good reason. But more about that later. It didn’t take us long to decide who should be the very first guest on The Mario Rosenstock Podcast. Having shared a radio studio with this man for over 20 years, who better than Ian to send me off into this brave new world of podcasting, knapsack on my back, excitement and trepidation in my heart.You might have heard interviews with Ireland’s most-loved breakfast show presenter before, but you haven’t heard one quite like this. Ian reveals things about himself that even I didn’t know – like why he would never, ever get a massage; his desire to be able to drop an F-Bomb on the radio, his memories of the infamous Fr Joseph Marmion, and the real reason for his obsession with David Bowie. He even blew me away with his impressions of Paschal Donohoe, Joan Burton, Matt Cooper and many more!  I’ll also be trying out some new comedy skeches in this podcast series – today, we cross live to Cheltenham for the ‘Fake Moral Outrage in Horseracing Hurdle’. I hope you enjoy episode one of this new venture – ‘hit me up on my socials’ and let me know what you think!Cheers!Mario Twitter: @GiftGrubMarioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mariorosenstockofficial/Insta: Working on it!!!Produced by: Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand.  Hosted on Acast.
