Welcome along to another episode of the Dave Moore Podcast. There is a new update for iPhone users so the lads try and figure it out during this podcast. We also hear from Deirdre O'Kane who came straight from the shops of Grafton St to join Dave in studio. And we hear from some of the Dave Moore listeners who found love online or in a nightclub, and we meet others who found love in the Credit Union and in the Garda Station.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Mark Wilkinson over Zoom video!Australian troubadour Mark Wilkinson shares his nuanced and heartfelt new EP Golden Afternoons. Mark centers around the theme of duality and accepting your own weaknesses and strengths in life. Mark reminds himself to “Embrace the Ride,” to let go and feel alive in each moment. Produced in Nashville alongside Owen Lewis (Paris Paloma, Old Sea Brigade, Snow Patrol), the seven-song effort sees the impassioned songwriter reconcile with his insecurities while finding the confidence to take risks despite the fear of failure. The result is a dynamic release with pin-drop moments and grandiose heights.Mark explains, “The EP explores the fine line between light and dark as well as confidence and uncertainty, which are the two states I'm constantly between as an artist and songwriter. Each song touches on these themes as they float through this body of work. It's a reflection of the balancing act.”Mark is also proud to announce the Golden Afternoons 2024 Australian Tour kicking off on April 11th in Fortitude Valley, QLD. Find the full list of tour dates below and for more information visit: www.markwilkinson.com.ABOUT MARK WILKINSON:Life never follows a linear road. Rather, it often forks as we do our best to keep pace in the middle. Mark Wilkinson treads this path in his music. He acknowledges hardship and darkness, only to step into the embrace of the light. The Sydney-based singer and songwriter acutely details this journey through relatable storytelling and hummable songcraft. By considering and understanding life's extremes from the middle, he gets closer to himself on his new EP, Golden Afternoons.After building an international profile by bringing his music directly to the people as a popular busker, he has creatively leveled up with each successive release. He captivated audiences with the likes of Let The River Run [2013], Hand Picked, Vol. 2 [2015], Wasted Hours [2018], and Blue Eyed Girls [2019]. Along the way, he catapulted to #1 on the Australian Independent Charts and sold in excess of 80,000 units. Since the release of 2022's Mariposa EP, he's impressively racked up millions of streams on Spotify and garnered support from Americana Highways, The Bluegrass Situation, and The Wild Is Calling who said, “We see star power and mainstream potential in the spirit of Mumford and Sons, Mt. Joy, or the Lumineers.” Standout single “Grafton St” also found fans at SiriusXM Coffeehouse.This time around, he changed up the process. Mark decamped to Nashville, TN where he recorded what would become Golden Afternoons with producer Owen Lewis (Paris Paloma, Old Sea Brigade, Snow Patrol) in just two weeks.“It was my first time making a project in Nashville,” he reveals.“It was exciting to see the whole thing come together over a short period and work with some amazing musicians. It progresses from the previous EP—which was made in a space of the end of the Pandemic and not knowing anything about what was going to happen. This music comes out of that period with confidence, trying to trust yourself and looking forward to a brighter tomorrow.”We want to hear from you!

 46 years ago a fast food restaurant was opened in Ballinasloe, Co Galway. A year earlier McDonalds had opened its first outlet on Grafton St. Both entities have survived and thrived throughout Ireland with Supermacs now having 120 restaurants and will soon be opening in Dublin airport. The founder Pat McDonagh prides himself as still being very much hands on but he's also branched out into the hotel and forecourt business and now offers EV charging as well. Pat joined Joe on the show this morning.

John MacKenzie chats with Cr. Brett Olds, CRC Representative for Division 9, about two council matters: "Facilities Going Cashless" and "Security Guards at Libraries". The crime emergency plaguing Cairns and Far North Queensland has now crept into public libraries with the Cairns Regional Council now employing security to protect staff and the community. The other hot topic of local controversy is the Council's internal move away from accepting cash payment at the Cairns transfer station. Enraged resident, Frankie Hogan, has organised a petition that is fast gathering signatures to express the want for cash payment options. You can find the "Bring Back Cash Payment Option to CRC Facilities" petition at supportive businesses/groups.

@KentoCCFC: Hell In A Cellbridge!   @Butch_CTK: For Cian. Who would win in a fight WALTER OR Ian Harte?   @cluelessnerd: thoughts on the first episode of Loki? I think it's already the most intriguing marvel TV show and think it'll have the biggest impact on the wider MCU going forward. Also think Loki is the mvp of the MCU   @seanmacsamhrain: Why is Loki an “Umbrella Academy” clone?   @jmolloy1985: who is someone you are surprised never became a genuinely huge mainstream star? For example I'm a big Marina & the diamonds fan & while her fan base is loyal it's not gonna bother the 3 arena soon but would sell out Olympia easy, new album great btw   @Eoin_Davis1: Is there a movie or show that you watched that stuck with you for ages? I haven't been able to stop thinking about Bo Burnham's “inside” for the last 2 weeks.   @joestodge: Considering that NXT-UK is no longer canon since the commentary team hadn't got a clue who Piper Niven (viper) was on raw, where else/what else in wrestling would you like things to be considered non-canon?   @davebandana: I saw a seagull steal a lady's hamburger on Grafton St last week. So what I'd like to know is what is the funniest thing that you've ever seen an animal/pet do?   @SimpsonsWWE: What's your snobbiest opinion? Mine is lads that into shops topless are absolutely disgusting.   @spudinho90: €1000000 but you have to get a tattoo of cock and balls across your face just below the eyes so it can't be covered by a hat, facial hair, mask etc. The tattoo stays for 10 years and then disappears for ever or you can have it disappear when you're at work but it then stays for 20 years you get the cash the second you get the tattoo not after the 10/20 years and again can't pay to remove it   @RoscommDan: A 4 vs 4 elimination match in the wrestling ring from Shrek….who wins and in what order are people eliminated?

Honor is rude to randomers on Grafton St – and Ross has never been so proud.

This week features the last speaker from our last collaboration with BGE this year at CoLab: Antwerp—the one and only Stephen Morrissey! Kicking off with a somewhat provocative title, “I’m a World Barista Champion and I don’t want to pay for your coffee”, Stephen’s talk is an engaging look at how our position within the industry impacts our perception of “good value” when it comes to coffee. Drawing on personal experience, Stephen’s talk is an incredibly honest—and humorous—reminder that we could all benefit to walk at least a mile in a consumer’s shoes before we try to sell them a transcendental coffee experience. We realise we’ve been bandying about the term “must watch” a bit recently—and we can only attribute this to the incredible speakers we’ve been lucky enough to bring on board—but we’re pretty sure you’ll not only benefit from but also enjoy having your eyes re-opened to what it’s like on the other side of the till.   -- Stephen Morrissey’s coffee career began in Rio Coffee Co. on Dublin’s Exchequer Street. He spent a few years training baristas and roasting at Bewley’s on Grafton St, while at the same time completing a degree in Music Composition at DIT. In 2008, Stephen moved to London to help open Square Mile Coffee Roasters and that year became the first Irish person to win the World Barista Championship in Copenhagen. This led to traveling the world visiting coffee farms, providing education on the merits of specialty coffee, and ultimately a new home in Chicago where Stephen began work at the renowned Intelligentsia Coffee. Over six years, his many duties involved overseeing the education department, store design, brand development, design, product development, events, marketing, and communications—skills that serve him well as Senior Creative Advisor for the Specialty Coffee Association of America.  Stephen has judged in national barista competitions spanning four continents and today serves on the Advisory Board for World Coffee Events, the governing body that produces events and competitions promoting specialty coffee. He is the inaugural chair of the Competitions Development Committee, a group charged with evolving the World Barista Championship format. Stephen was the co-founder of Coffee Common, a series of consumer-focussed educational events that originated at the TED conference in California. He lives in Chicago with his wife Jen, his son Gene, and their black lab Regis.

Louis Wilson makes money standing still...very still. He's a 'human statue' in Dublin. He dresses up as writers James Joyce and Patrick Kavanagh and strikes a pose in Grafton St. What's it like? What happens if you have to sneeze or go to the loo?
