Thanks to listener Miriam, we're tackling John Marsden's Tomorrow, When The War Began (1993), as well as its 2010 film adaptation by Stuart Beattie and the Brendan Maher-directed season of TV from 2016.This massive Australian hit is highly teachable, though don't go looking for commentary on colonialism or political curiosity from its teenage protagonists. The film is a big budget action film that Joe prefers, while Brenna likes the direction and relationship between the kids in the TV series, even if both adaptations lean into uncomfortable racism in their depiction of the invading force. Yikes!Plus: let no one doubt Brenna's commitment to podcasting because Brenna was on tornado watch when we recorded this episode (listen to the outtakes for proof!)Wanna connect with the show?

This week's podcast guest Brendan Maher is responsible for overseeing Movember's global suite of mental health and suicide prevention programs and investments. His key focus is on ensuring the charity's work in prevention and early intervention is able to reach and engage more men in priority populations - including fathers, young men, Indigenous men and men experiencing social isolation. Joining the organisation in May 2019, he leads a passionate program team located across Melbourne, Toronto, London and Los Angeles. Brendan is also a Board Member and former CEO of R U OK? – an Australian organisation most well-known for R U OK?

With almost 12 years' experience across Lifeline Australia, R U OK? and Movember, Brendan is a passionate advocate for suicide prevention. His contribution to the sector was recognised in 2019 with Suicide Prevention Australia's LIFE Award for Excellence in the Leadership category. On this week's podcast, Brendan joins me to talk about how he became involved with mental health and suicide prevention, his transition from the corporate sector to non for profit, and insight into his many roles, including Movember and the challenges arising from COVID.

SUBJECTIVEIn this episode, we move on from vampires to talk about robots! Specifically, robot organs. Like, why does a robot need organs? And if it did need organs, why would it need human organs? We'll discuss robot face putty, building biosynthetic organs, and some incredible applications of 3D printing. Also, can we PLEASE change the stylistic standards of scientific papers to allow for some ENTHUSIASM???

Rugby with Garry Thornley and Gavin Cummiskey at 7.15 Paul Fitzpatrick on Cavan footballer Charlie Gallagher at 31.30 Munster gonna Munster. The ghosts of winter Saturday Nights Past came calling as Thomond Park rocked to another nail-biting Champions Cup encounter, this time against Racing 92. Gerry Thornley and Gavin Cummiskey are in studio to break down the rugby weekend that was, with a fair amount of excitement at the already clear impact of Stephen Larkham. We also delve into Joe Schmidt's book, released last week to a very mixed reception. Charlie Gallagher was the iconic Cavan footballer of the 1960s but somewhere along the way he got lost to the ages. Paul Fitzpatrick has written a beautiful biography of one of the greatest Ulster players in history, a celebrity in his own time who came to a sad end in later years. Paul joins us to tell a story not many people know or will have heard of. All this - plus Brendan Maher and the charms of winter hurling - in your Monday Added Time, with Malachy Clerkin and Pat Nugent.

Ireland had 4 wins from 4 in Round 1 of the European Rugby Champions Cup last week, but we had to make do with 2 wins and a draw this week - and the only defeat came from what might have been the best performance of the lot, Connacht away to Toulouse. We talk about Munster's thrilling draw at home to Racing with Gerry Thornley of the Irish Times and one of Racing's returning Munster-men Donnacha Ryan, as well as Leinster's gritty 7 point win in Lyon, and Ulster's victory over a sorry Clermont on Friday night. That Clermont performance led some (including Murph) to question the integrity of the competition, and we also discuss nutmegs in rugby, November hurling in the tropics, and marvellous Brendan Maher.

With 17 Senior All-Irelands, 11 in football and 6 in camogie, Briege Corkery is one of the greatest GAA players of all time. However, after giving so much to the Cork cause over the years, Briege decided to focus on other areas of life in 2017. She spoke about that decision on the podcast, whether she intends to return to the Cork fold next season, why the fear of losing drives her on more than the joy of winning and the danger of presuming that sports stars are automatically confident and out going people.

Freedom & Whisky Written for Television by: Toni Graphia Directed by: Brendan Maher   This week's episode slows down to cover a short period of the Christmas season 1968. Don't for one second think you can put away those tissues for holiday cheer. The struggles are real. The fear is spoken. The complexities of adult child and parent relationships are navigated.  We see Claire's foundational determination and skill as a physician. We see her fragile and vulnerable, when she acknowledges herself as a woman with needs and desires. We see her as mother bear, fierce, tender, loving, and the willingness to be sacrificial. She's been hurt and shut off the passionate and sexual side of herself. She's lived for her daughter and her work. It's time for her to live whole once more. She's been "living half a life," according to good friend Joe Abernathy. He's correct. Go get him, Claire. Insert that fuzzy ear worm, Let It Go for Claire here. Brianna has matured and grown through her father Frank's death and the revelations in Scotland. She's no longer the bratty girl. She sees herself as a woman in her own right. She sees her mother as a woman separate from being her mother. She knows she is grown and not only urges her mother to go, she asks her to go. Jamie deserves to know who she is.  Roger is not a knight in shining armor, he's an orphan like Brianna. He's a friend and future lover. He understands Brianna in a way no one else can. He understands her mother in a way no one else can either. He's a kind, generous, and brilliant man, who happens to be falling in love with Brianna. Joe Abernathy is a friend and wingman. Claire's only friend throughout her medical school and hospital career. He is trustworthy and an advocate for Claire to live a full life. I expect, he will be there for anything Brianna needs. He can be like an uncle in my estimation. Did Claire tell him EVERYTHING about Jamie and her 18th century adventure? I think she must have.  The zinger in this episode was Candy, um Sandy, confronting Claire at an event to honor Frank Randall. She accuses Claire of being selfish and making Frank and Bree live a lie. She should have let him go. Claire offered Frank his freedom more than once. Does Sandy know this? Or is it her grief talking? What was the point of this confrontation? I think it's a vehicle for Brianna to ask who the woman is. Also, for Claire to have clarity on what she needs to do.  There were some three beats to cement ideas in this episode. Brianna being an engineer, not a historian. Claire's insecurities over her looks, sexiness, and age. Claire's willingness to stay because she can't bear to leave Brianna. She's a good mother. Brianna urging her mother to go because she is an adult and can care for herself. She's a maturing daughter. I adored how Roger and Brianna looked like ghostly images in the window when Claire looked up as she left for Scotland. Then the light plays on Claire as she was in the cab making her look like she was transitioning to a new place from the 20th century. Finally, the puddle from the cab to Edinburgh was a brilliant transition. Combined, those images created a feeling of time travel without literally needing her to go to the stones onscreen. Bravo! Lastly, Jamie and the print shop. You didn't think I would forget about that did you? Claire makes it to Edinburgh and finds her way to Carfax Close. Outside the printshop you can feel her apprehension and excitement. She opens the door and he questions who is there. Following his voice, she says who it is. He looks up, she seems a ghost, and he faints. #DunbonnetDown. He crashes to the floor. She gasps. Fade to black. SHE DID IT! She found him! We know he couldn't have died from a coronary because there's more episodes this season. And this isn't Game of Thrones. George R.R. Martin might have killed Jamie off in front of Claire. We laughed. We cried. We cheered. We grabbed smelling salts for Jamie.

All Debts Paid 303 Written by: Matthew B. Roberts Directed by: Brendan Maher   Oh, the many feels this episode brings up. To my husband's annoyance, I may have clapped excitedly at the beginning of the airing and muttered under my breath, "We get to meet Lord John."

Brendan Maher is the CEO of R U OK? – an organisation most well known for R U OK?Day, a national day of action committed to encouraging and equipping everyone to regularly and meaningfully ask “are you ok?”, of anyone who might be struggling with life. Since the inaugural R U OK?Day in 2009, R U OK? has become a household name. In 2016, an estimated 72% of Australians were aware of R U OK?Day, with one in four of those people taking part. To help make real, lasting change in Australia, R U OK? has broadened their reach beyond a national day of action. Campaigns such as R U OK? at Work, R U OK? at School and R U OK? Afield (targeting FIFO/DIDO workers), are providing effective platforms to promote regular, meaningful conversations all year round. Brendan is a passionate advocate for suicide prevention, and a former member of Lifeline Australia's senior leadership team, where he spent seven years before stepping into his current role at R U OK? in 2013. Brendan leads a small, responsive, and dynamic team who are experts in community activation, social media and integrated marketing campaigns.

This week I sit down (in the Ballsbridge Hotel) with none other than, Borrisoleigh man and 2016 All-Ireland winning Tipperary hurling Captain, Brendan Maher. Brendan is one of only 5 players ever to captain both minor and senior teams to All-Ireland titles. Not only that, but he's as funny and as sound a bloke you'll meet.You don't even have to be a sports fan to enjoy this episode (but if you are you're in for a treat).

This episode of the Real Talks podcast with Jamie Wall was recorded in the heart of San Francisco. A former underage player for Cork in both codes, Jamie was a prospect that had high hopes of representing his county for many years to come but back in 2014 his life changed after an abscess at the spine resulted in the loss of power in his legs. During this conversation, Jamie talks openly and honestly about the day his legs first gave way and the ups and downs of the last three years as he has had to adapt to life in a chair and rise to numerous challenges. He is now currently enjoying an extended break in a new city while also managing a GAA team on the west coast of America – an opportunity that arose after he coached Mary I to the Fitzgibbon Cup earlier in 2017. Keep an ear out at the end of the show as well for an exciting update about the next season of the podcast which will kick off in the coming few weeks.

Wicklow footballer John McGrath was diagnosed with leukaemia and entered four intense cycles of chemotherapy in 2011. Within 6 months he was back playing for his beloved club Baltinglass and a year later he was on the Croke Park turf winning a league title for his county.   As we discussed the ups and downs of his recovery, it became abundantly clear that we were sitting in the room with one of the most resilient and inspiring men our national games have to offer as he prepares for his 11th season at inter-county level. John openly discusses his recovery, mindset through challenging times and how his love for football gave him a constant source of hope.   In our first two episodes of the Real Talks Podcast, we checked in with members of the All-Ireland winning teams of 2016 in Brendan Maher of Tipperary and Dublin’s Kevin McManamon. Thanks to the 5,000 people who have so far tuned in to the show.

The second episode of the Real Talks podcast features Tipperary’s All-Ireland winning captain of 2016, Brendan Maher. Over the course of the hour conversation with host Alan O'Mara, this Tipperary warrior shows he is an intriguing character, with a fascinating outlook on life, winning, leadership and communication. What he said: “My hurling journey has helped me an awful lot off the pitch as well. I have learned how to live by so many values. Through sport I’ve learned so much.” This is the second episode of a ten part series highlighting that GAA players are far more than just footballers and hurlers. Episode one featured Dublin’s Kevin McManamon. Disclaimer: All materials featuring in this podcast are copyright protected.
