Union boss Jimmy Hoffa left his Michigan home for what was supposed to be a peace summit with mobsters Anthony Provenzano and Anthony Giacalone on 30th July, 1975. He never returned home. But Hoffa was much more than just a Mafia stooge. He'd been involved in labour unions from the age of fourteen, rapidly rising through the ranks to become president of the powerful Teamsters Union by 1957. Under his leadership, the union ballooned to over 2 million members. And with great power came great corruption; Hoffa's close ties to organised crime eventually landing him in federal prison for bribery and fraud. In this episode, Rebecca, Arion and Olly explain why Hoffa's intended memoir may have spurred the Mob on to silence him; discover how his father's death led him into activism; and ponder whether it is *ever* a good idea to meet up in a parking lot… Further Reading: • ‘Seven Years Later, Jimmy Hoffa Case Is Still a Mystery' (The Washington Post, 1982): https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1982/07/31/seven-years-later-jimmy-hoffa-case-is-still-a-mystery/3ed452a7-78e4-4785-8eef-dd9a0a5782cb/ • ‘Jimmy Hoffa's Disappearance: What Really Happened To Him?'

Dave reads the paper in which he got his fish and chips.Nevertheless, Dave‘s fishy facts will wow you but not as much as the story of the Irish man who named a fruit and invented hot chocolate. Neil reveals how the price of a bottle of Coca-Cola remained the same for more than 70 years and greatly excited Dave with his talk of 40-foot container standardisation.

Today's Indo Daily comes from one of our sister podcasts, Under The Grill. The actor and viral comedian Peter McGann joins Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young in the Under the Grill kitchen to chat about his favourite dish of all time, pre-show nerves and his part in Sky Atlantic's Small Town, Big Story, which was written and directed by Chris O'Dowd. Wicklow-born Peter says: “Those jokes like ‘I came home, I was so drunk, I put the rashers in the toaster', that slap stuff is mostly gone from the comedy stage.” The dad-of-one adds: “My dish of choice is a seafood chowder in a sourdough bowl because it brings me back it to the best summer of my life. It's just delicious. I love seafood of any kind. “I was in college in Galway one summer and I was chasing a girl, who is now my wife, and there used to be a stall in Galway selling seafood chowder in a bread bowl. It brings back such good memories.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

His films include, American Gangster-Not Fade Away-The Irishman and multiple independent films-such as Charlie Mantle and Critical Acclaim.

We're going back 40 years to one of the most iconic nights in Irish sporting history. On June 8, 1985, at Loftus Road in London, Barry McGuigan became WBA featherweight champion of the world, defeating Eusebio Pedroza in front of a roaring, emotionally charged crowd. It wasn't just a boxing match — it was a moment that transcended sport. An Irishman from Clones, cheered on by Catholics and Protestants alike, in the middle of the Troubles. Today, Barry joins us on The Rocky Road to relive that unforgettable night. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Deremy Dove and Thomas Sena (Pop Culture Five Podcast) join for the final Martin Scorsese themed movie focus special. This week, it's the Corruption Themed Trilogy: WOLF OF WALL STREET, THE IRISHMAN & KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON! TOPICS DISCUSSED: *Why are these well-intended misfires somewhat dull & rather inaccurate? *Why does Wolf of Wall Street feel as divisive as Scarface? *Why were some of the actors in The Irishman unfairly thrown under the bus for playing underveloped characters? *Why did Scorsese get too derivative of his own style here? *And a neat clip at the end of a Scorsese 2019 BBC1 Radio Interview where he discussed the on-going arguments about running time and movie lengths.
Sometimes comics start down unusual career paths (at least for a comic). How about accountancy? Bob Newhart famously plied that trade early in life. And today's Legend -- Ray Romano -- figured out his comedy path after studying accountancy in college. We suspect that Ray can hire out for an accountant these days after a career that includes a wildly successful sitcom, juicy voice acting roles, frequent guest spots on television (sometimes in dramatic roles), and a little professional poker tossed in the mix. Ray's family friendly brand of humor has gone down well with audiences since he first emerged in the late 1980s. Everybody Loves Raymond debuted in 1996 and launched him to the next level, along with wining him three Emmy awards over nine seasons. Most recently Ray has started taking dramatic roles as in Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" and he continues to be a popular draw on the standup stage. As always find extended cuts below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Ray? The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson was legendary for the comics it featured early in their careers. Here's Ray from his first Tonight Show appearance in 1991. https://youtu.be/1VcdnqH0PJc?si=wuX4NQ1GyzRopK6h Everybody Loves Raymond was a smash focusing on the day-to-day live of a large Italian family.

A couple of weeks ago Dave Hannigan joined me to share the fascinating story of how a Kerry man called Butty Sugrue managed to convince the one and only Muhammad Ali to come to Ireland and fight Alvin Lewis in Croke Park. It's a fantastic yarn and if you didn't hear it, I'd strongly recommend doing so.But Dave has lived in the US for over 25 years and so I couldn't let him go without getting his thoughts on what its like to be an Irish man living in Long Island, which is true Trump territory, and all that comes with it. Dave and I go deep on politics, media, the 'flooding of the zone', and even the fall of the Roman empire!The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

Irish Sailor Tom Dolan from Co. Meath has carved a most unexpected career for himself on the high seas. Winner of the 2024 Solitaire du Figaro Paprec, Tom sailed himself into the history books as the first Irish sailor and only the third non-French competitor to win this prestigious race in its fifty five year history, cementing his position and reputation as a world class sailor.

Meath where Gaelic Football was the sport of choice and sailing was something he watched on TV dreaming of one day sailing the high seas.

Immersing himself in one of the world's most competitive sailing environments it provide the perfect playground for Tom to flourish, hone his craft and gain vast experience to become one of the best off-shore sailors in the world.
