Brendan O'Meara, host of the Creative Nonfiction podcast, joins J.D. to talk about his new book, "The Front Runner: The Life of Steve Prefontaine"Visit us on Substack
In the fifty years since his tragic death in a car crash, Steve Prefontaine has towered over American distance running. One of the most recognizable and charismatic figures to ever run competitively in the United States, Prefontaine has endured as a source of inspiration and fascination—a talent who presaged the American running boom of the late 1970s and helped put Nike on the map as the brand's first celebrity-athlete face. Now on the anniversary of his untimely death, author Brendan O'Meara, host of the Creative Nonfiction podcast, offers a fresh, definitive retelling of Prefontaine's life, revisiting one of the most enigmatic figures in American sports with a twenty-first-century lens. Through over a hundred and fifty original interviews with family, friends, teammates, and competitors, this long-overdue reappraisal of Prefontaine—the first such exhaustive treatment in almost thirty years—provides never-before-told stories about the unique talent, innovative mental strength, and personal struggles that shaped Prefontaine on and off the track. Bringing new depth to an athlete long eclipsed by his brash, aggressive running style and the heartbreak of his death at twenty-four, O'Meara finds the man inside the myth, scrutinizing a legacy that has shaped American sports culture for decades. What emerges is a singular portrait of a distinctly American talent, a story written in the pines and firs of the Pacific Northwest back when running was more blue-collar love than corporate pursuit—the story of a runner whose short life casts a long, fast shadow. Craig Gill is a writer, researcher and historian based in Vancouver, BC. He is the author of Caddying on the Color Line, a history of African American golf caddies in the U.S. South.

Writer and cultural critic Brendan O'Neill joins The Winston Marshall Show for a searing breakdown of Ireland's Israel obsession, immigration, and the ideological void left by the collapse of Catholicism.O'Neill paints a portrait of modern Ireland, where Israelophobia has become a quasi-religion—replacing the moral certainty once provided by the Church. From Dublin to rural Connemara, Palestinian flags fly, Holocaust memorials are politicised, and the Irish President himself compares Israel to the Nazis.They explore Ireland's drift from its once pro-Israel roots, the rewriting of Irish history, and the influence of postcolonial ideology and woke dogma. O'Neill warns that antisemitism is no longer just a fringe prejudice—it's now embedded in elite institutions, political discourse, and cultural life.All this—Ireland's moral inversion, anti-Israel mania, the rise of “progressive” bigotry, and the dangerous return of the oldest hatred in a new disguise…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 0:00 Introduction2:58 The Post-Catholic Era and Its Impact 7:11The Rise of Wokeness and Israelophobia 14:42 Historical Connections Between Ireland and Israel 27:42 The Impact of the Second Vatican Council 36:00 The Role of the Irish President and Government 43:08 The Case of Kneecap and Free Speech 55:44 The Political Response to Immigration in Ireland 1:07:35 The Role of Conor McGregor and Other Voices 1:11:06 The Future of Ireland and Its Political Landscape 1:14:19 A Positive Note on Ireland's Culture and Heritage1:18:41 Final Thoughts Hosted on Acast.

It’s been 50 years since legendary Oregon track and field athlete Steve Prefontaine died in a car crash on May 30, 1975. He was only 24 years old. At the time, the Coos Bay runner held every U.S. distance record from the two-kilometer race to the 10K and was training for the 1976 Olympics. His athleticism and charisma made him one of the best-known runners to come out of the University of Oregon and helped him land a brand deal as Nike’s first celebrity athlete. Brendan O’Meara is the author of the new biography “The Front Runner: The Life of Steve Prefontaine.” He joins us to talk about Pre’s impact on the sport and his legacy in the track and field community.

Este mes la azotea sonora de Talk to Him vuelve a subir a lo más alto a una de las bandas que retrotrae a la etapa de concepción, grabación y defensa de su segundo trabajo, Versus, o Vs si se prefiere. Es tiempo de recordar el carácter salvaje, reivindicativo e indomable de los de Seattle en ese periodo. Him nos propone un repaso por las canciones y acontecimientos más destacados de esa época: los roces con su imprescindible baterista Dave Abbruzzese, la llegada de la mano maestra de Brendan O'brien a la producción para quedarse, la introspección y la hostilidad frente a la promoción y los medios de comunicación, su lucha contra el monopolio de Ticketmaster, sus incendiarios mayor protagonismo ha tenido a lo largo de la historia de este podcast: Pearl Jam. Him nos e irrepetibles conciertos de la época, la incómoda postura de Eddie Vedder ante la fama y exposición pública o el tremendo impacto del suicidio de Kurt Cobain sobre el futuro de cara a sus próximos pasos. Un auténtico derroche de pasión, fiereza y corazón para rendir homenaje a unos artistas que pusieron en jaque y cuestionaron hasta los cimientos de todo lo que les había aupado en su momento de mayor popularidad y expansión.

Tidy Towns groups will no longer have to pay for their own insurance, once they are registered with their council. This follows a deal between in local authorities and IPB (Irish Public Bodies) Insurance, to create a community insurance scheme. The comprehensive scheme will include cover for public liability and volunteer insurance.

Ep 67---In episode 67 of the Voices of Boyle podcast, I sit down with Dermot Beggan, a familiar face to many around town.Dermot grew up in Smoterna, just outside Boyle, with Lough Key practically in his back garden! He shares his journey from leaving school to working his way up to becoming General Manager of Lough Key Forest Park, a place where he first worked many years ago. It's a real full-circle story.We chat about the current activities on offer at the park, the exciting developments planned for the future (there are some amazing plans in the pipeline!), and how he played a huge role in bringing the Balloon Championships back home to Lough Key.For many of us, the memories of those crisp September mornings, watching the colourful balloons rise above the Boyle skyline, are something special. Now, with a week-long festival planned that includes two flights per day, there's a real buzz about seeing the balloons fill the skies once again.Lough Key is the perfect setting for the balloon championship to take place, and Dermot gives us all the details. Finally, we talk about the importance of Boyle town in Lough Key's existence and how it's the support from local people that will help the park to continue to thrive.

A new album release by your favourite band is an important event. Thank god for this. A new album is a reprieve, an escape, a comfort and a joy. Of course, to experience all these emotions you do have to take the time to really listen. I particularly love that a record has the power to be your own personal time machine. When I first played back the new My Morning Jacket album, simply titled is, I was transported back in time to the late 70s, back to my childhood. A time of albums on vinyl or cassette, played on ‘music centres' (that's what we called hi-fi systems in Northern England back then). A time when ELO or Supertramp, or The Stranglers or Queen, would make albums consisting of singles with accessible catchy melodies mixed with more exotic, experimental songs that were probably marked during the recording process as ‘album tracks'. A time when you could expect each and every album released by a band to have a different, distinctive character from the last one. It was a time of greater attention and patience and a slower, simpler time of life. 70s memories are especially magical for me, so a soundtrack courtesy Jim James & co is a total treat. It isn't fashionable music that My Morning Jacket creates. Indeed, their alchemical meld of alt-country rock, alternative country/Americana and late era Beatles-esque psychedelia make MMJ sound always like a band out of time. That's just how Jim James intended it. Music perfect for sucking you into their timeless orbit. And no real desire beyond that. It's the way Jim James operates these days. Put your best work out there into the universe and then what will be will be:“Of course we all want our work to be successful, me included. But I've ridden the rollercoaster so many times now, I know the outcome is always the same, whether people like a record or not, I still had to deal with my own depression and self loathing. External validation will not fill that hole, you can only do it yourself, love yourself and try to see things more clearly”. MMJ have never shied away from dissonance, off kilter time signatures and ear-splitting guitar work, but there is always the emergence of beauty from the noise. This abruptly contrasting style takes a backseat on is. Instead, the songs are what matters most on this album. Legendary rock producer Brendan O'Brien (Pearl Jam, Springsteen and ACDC) has pushed Jim James and his band to be even more in service of the songs than they have been before. But the melodies and grooves are so strong, it works wonders such that the album stands up as one of their best so far. Pretty good show after 25 years and 10 LP records.And Jim James loves LP records:“I love the album as an art form. It's important as artists to do what you love, and don't worry about the world and what the world's gonna do. It's cool even if people love one song, but if they are gonna take the journey of the album, that's my dream. We aspire to make music in that format, but even if one person loves one song, that's still so awesome”. Yes, yes it is. Support the showGet more related content at: https://www.songsommelier.com/
