Podcasts about Marian Finucane

Today's Episode is an extraordinary conversation with John Clarke, the husband and partner of forty years of the late Marian Finucane. It's an intimate, raw and quite beautiful look at love and loss.In late 2019, Marian and John agreed that the time was right for her to call an end to her iconic decades-long broadcasting career with RTE. They set to planning their 'sunset walk' together: the trips around the world they hadn't yet got around to making. Then, in January 2020, Marian died suddenly. This week, Richie and Killian travelled to John Clarke's home in Kilteel Co. Kildare to speak about he and Marian's relationship together - one that was described by a friend as being like 'two fifteen year olds who were addicted to each other and forgot to grow up' - and what life has been like without her. At 87 years old, John describes the emptiness he felt without Marian's constant presence as lockdowns set in, his decades-long sobriety and the turning inwards that becoming a member of AA sparks, and how he and Marian dealt with the death of their daughter Sinead from cancer.Episode is brought to you by NOW and is a Second Captains production. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SS102fm re-broadcasts an RTE interview by the late Marian Finucane with Mark Patrick Hederman OSB from Glenstal Abbey which was originally broadcast by RTE in June 2019. Marian interviews Dom Mark about his new book "Living the Mystery: What lies between Science and Religion" which is published by Columba Books.The Irish Catholic newspapers review of the book was published on 1 August 2019."Life is a mystery quite beyond the comprehension of our normal ways of understanding. Having lived as a Benedictine monk for over fifty years, Mark Patrick Hederman has learned how to engage with mystery and sets out to explain how to bring a new sense of the sacred into your life.Despite clamorous reports to the contrary, he argues that religion is alive and well in our world. In this fascinating book he contends that most of us are religious and can’t help being religious. Being human means being ‘religious’, otherwise we would die of despair. Along with his, he touches on the inaccurate idea that science and religion are opposing forces and focuses on the fact that the arts are the only way we can convey the sacred to today’s disbelieving world. Through this exploration, Hederman suggests that a mytho-poetic language could provide a ‘middle voice,’ a ‘third language’ that bridges that gap between science and religion in our society."

In 1969, and into 1970, a battle raged just beside St Stephen’s Green in Dublin, as architectural students fought to save a slice of Georgian Dublin on Hume Street.

In a time remembered for ‘the destruction of Dublin’, it was a remarkable act of civic pride and activism - but did the students win out in the end?

The fourth media-mad Off Message podcast is with the ubiquitous Norah Casey who has worked both here in Ireland and in the UK across all sectors in the media. She's run and owned numerous publishing ventures, she's presented her own radio and television programmes, she's managed a handful of online businesses and written a book of her hectic life to date. In it the podcast Norah reveals the tortuous stories behind her hugely emotional live Late Late Show and Marian Finucane appearances in which she first told the highly charged stories of her second husband's death and the domestic abuse she suffered for nine years at the hands of her first; her recently-discovered insatiable love of podcasts; her real fear that she's now become a news junkie; the trauma of selling most of her cherished magazine titles late last year; her love-hate relationship with social media; and lots more.
