HURLING: Galway wing back Ronan Glennon with Galway Bay FM's Niall Canavan after their Leinster SHC win over Wexford

Confusion at cabinet, delays to short-term letting rules, and mounting pressure from fuel protests are exposing cracks in government strategy. With key by-elections looming, are political tensions rising. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, I will be speaking with Seána Glennon. Seána loves Toronto so much, she didn't move here just once, but twice. Seána and her husband, Jonny first began calling Toronto their home in 2018 before heading back to Dublin to allow Seána complete her PhD. They arrived back to Toronto in 2021 and have been putting down routes here ever since. They are both fantastic volunteers and can be seen at any Irish related event around the city. In this chat, we discuss the meaning of ‘home' and Seána has a lovely understanding of a concept which can be quite confusing for a lot of emigrants. We also discuss living in the East End of Toronto as well as Seána's fear of driving in the city. We finish the chat discussing parenting in a different country. Seána and Johnny are raising two boys in Toronto, Naoise and Óisín. I admire Seána's honesty and positive outlook throughout this chat. 

Noeline Blackwell, Online Safety Coordinator with Childrens Right's Alliance, reacts to Fianna Fáil TD, Jim Glennon's admission that he wrote a character reference for a convicted sex offender.

On Sunday Jim Glennon, who served as a Fianna Fáil TD in the Dublin North constituency from 2002 to 2007, confirmed that he had offered a character reference for convicted sex offender Daniel Ramamoorthy. In a statement, Edelman Ireland announced that Jim Glennon's tenure as non-executive chairman had ended before they were aware he wrote the character reference. The PR firm told the Irish Independent that his tenure ended in March, but an external announcement had not been made to the media. This was, “in line with our protocol, and it had been communicated to relevant contacts internally,” Edelman Ireland said in response to queries. On the question of who had been notified internally and when, the company said it would not be commenting further. Today on this Indo Daily Extra, Kevin Doyle is joined by Irish Independent Special Correspondent Catherine Fegan, to discuss the fallout from the revelations, and look at her pursuit for answers to the controversy as it unfolded. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Fianna Fáil TD Jim Glennon says he provided a character reference for Daniel Ramamoorthy, who was convicted of sexually exploiting a 13-year-old child. RTÉ Political Correspondent Barry Lenihan joined the show with the details.

Jim Brennan joins Sports on a Sunday Morning to recap Glennon Live and its impact on SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, raising nearly $3 million with help from performances and community support.

Brennan also provides business updates on new communities, special financing offers, and upcoming developments.

Hour 2 features Jim Brennan on Glennon Live raising nearly $3 million for SSM Health Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital, along with St. Louis philanthropy and housing initiatives. David Malukas joins to talk about his journey to Team Penske and racing at World Wide Technology Raceway. Chaim Bloom breaks down the St. Louis Cardinals recent success, bullpen performance, and future outlook, while Bernie Miklasz wraps the hour with analysis on the team's aggressive style, offensive surge, and long-term trajectory.

This is a special episode, sponsored by Bumble, taking a look at all the different ways we can meet someone: whether you meet young, in your 50s, or post-divorce. The three women in this episode (and four if you count me!) - are here to show us that finding the love of your life isn't always straight-forwards, or linear. First up, you'll hear from the brilliant and hilarious Miranda Hart, who got married when she was 51, and talks through her first date with her now husband. Then Australian comedian Celeste Barber talks about meeting her ‘hot husband' young, and quickly becoming a step-mum to two young children. Finally, American author Glennon Doyle talks about leaving her marriage for the love of her life, Abby – and co-parenting her three children with her ex-husband in a blended family. I hope this episode brings you as much laughter, reassurance and warmth as each of those guests have brought me. And hopefully it inspires you to refresh your Bumble profile, or download Bumble now!

It's birthday month for Glennon and Amanda, and if you've ever had a birthday that made you want to crawl into bed and also throw a parade and also cry in the shower and also text every person you've ever loved like: ARE WE OKAY?—welcome. You are among your people. Because birthdays are not just cake day. Birthdays are a spotlight. A pop quiz. A referendum on: Do I matter? Am I loved? Am I seen? And if the answers don't arrive in the exact form we imagined—texts, plans, enthusiasm, proof—our brains go: Welp. That's that. In this episode, we're trying to name why birthdays bring so many feels—and how to make them suck less. - Why birthdays can feel like a setup for disappointment - Glennon, Abby, and Amanda's best, worst, and most revealing birthday stories - Why birthdays can feel like a test of your worth, love, and belonging - How to drop the secret tests and actually ask for what you want - Simple ways to celebrate each other all year so no one is waiting one day to feel loved Follow We Can Do Hard Things on:  Instagram — ⁠https://www.instagram.com/wecandohardthings⁠

Meggan Watterson joins Glennon and Abby for an urgent, unfiltered conversation about how to stay human in infuriating times.

Glennon and Abby take you inside Brandi Carlile's Mexico gathering—a wildly safe, queer weekend beaming with music, connection, and collective joy. They unpack their now-iconic onstage “Come to My Window” performance (there were lifts), how rehearsals accidentally became couples therapy, and why joy, sexuality, and community aren't distractions from this moment—but acts of resistance. Plus: the magic of Titans of Americana, where Brandi shared the stage with her legendary idols and Tish—bridging generations and honoring the past while lifting up what's next.

We start the year by asking a simple question: Why does something that's supposed to be fun—like youth sports—feel so awful?  After a scary incident at their daughter's soccer game, Glennon and Abby talk honestly about how pressure, performance, and social capital have overtaken what was supposed to be fun. And why this problem isn't about the kids—it's about us.

Glennon sits down with artist and healer Eset Rose for a grounding, soul-stirring conversation – live from the Kripalu Center in Massachusetts – about what it really means to stop abandoning ourselves.  They discuss burning old scripts, reimagining relationships, claiming agency, the spiritual power of midlife and menopause, and why “enoughness” can feel terrifying when we've been raised inside capitalism.  This one is for anyone craving rest, renewal, and a gentler way to begin again.

Who is your Inner Child, and what are they (still) saying? It's amazing how strongly our little selves show up in our adult lives.   Buckle Up – in this hilarious, profound conversation, Glennon, Abby, and Amanda invite their inner children to come forward and share their delights, blessings, and curses with the Pod Squad.  Together, we spiral around:  - Why some of us become the family “feeler” and others the “fixer,” and how we can all become more whole;  - How to honor the part of you who planned, dreamed, or disassociated to survive, without letting that little kid run your whole adult life; and  - How Abby is using music, dancing, and play as an antidote to her anxiety. 

Pod Squad: It's just us this episode. Glennon, Abby, and Amanda are snuggling up on the metaphorical couch to answer your questions and spiral together about:  – Is writing about yourself self-indulgent? – Is camping a vacation or a trip? (and why lesbians can't seem to figure that out); and – How Amanda is finally setting down the plates she's been spinning for decades.  Snuggle up—you won't want to miss this one.  Follow We Can Do Hard Things on: Youtube — @wecandohardthingsshow   Instagram — @wecandohardthings TikTok — @wecandohardthingshow

Glennon, Abby, and Amanda are getting cozy and diving deep into what it means to actually feel your feelings. They discuss:  - How they're getting through the awkward, messy “middle school of middle age”;  - Why feelings are 90-second-waves—and why thinking about them keeps you stuck in anxiety;  - How to stop using other people to regulate your nervous system; and - The radical truth that your body already knows what to do—you just have to let it.  We don't need to think, process, or solve our way out of our feelings. We just need to feel them.  Follow We Can Do Hard Things on: Youtube — @wecandohardthingsshow   Instagram — @wecandohardthings TikTok — @wecandohardthingshow

This life-saving conversation is for anyone who has—or loves someone who has—breasts. It's what to look for, what to ask, what screenings you *actually need* (not just what is offered), and every decision point you have (even if it's not offered to you) if you are facing surgery.   This Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Glennon, Abby, and Amanda empower us with the most vital tool we have: information. Amanda reflects on how self-advocacy led her to her own breast cancer diagnosis—and we hear from the pod squad about how Amanda's transparency helped save their lives. Then, we're joined by Amanda's renowned doctor, Dr. Lucy M. De La Cruz, who reminds us that every patient has agency—and shares how to choose the treatment path that's right for you.

We all have something inside us that knows exactly what we want.  Katie Gavin joins us to talk about:  How to identify that kernel of desire inside—and then have the courage to follow it;  Why love addiction can feel like being stuck on a “treadmill in the cosmos”; and the moment Katie called Glennon a Femme/Dom—and how it changed Glennon's life forever.  Katie Gavin's album: What A Relief About Katie:  Katie Gavin is a musician and member of the pop band MUNA, and released her debut solo album What A Relief this past October 2024—an album about a deep desire for connection and the obstacles standing in the way of achieving that. Gavin's explorations of desire and intimacy feel time-worn and necessary – songs that might teach a generation if not how to live, exactly, then at least how to look within oneself for guidance about how to move forward. Katie is currently in the studio with MUNA working on their forthcoming album.

And we unearth a small miracle: by listening to our bodies, we can participate in life without abandoning ourselves.  Join us now.  Follow We Can Do Hard Things on: Youtube — @wecandohardthingsshow   Instagram — @wecandohardthings TikTok — @wecandohardthingshow
