Join us as Ocean House owner and award-winning author Deborah Goodrich Royce has a conversation with New York Times Bestselling author Annabel Monaghan about her new book, Dolly All The Time Author Bio: Annabel is the New York Times bestselling and Library Reads Hall of Fame author of Dolly All The Time, It's A Love Story, Summer Romance, Same Time Next Summer and Nora Goes Off Script, published by G.P. Putnam's Sons. She is also the author of two novels for young adults, A Girl Named Digit and Double Digit, as well as Does This Volvo Make My Butt Look Big?, a collection of essays based on her column that appeared on the Huffington Post, The Week and The Rye Record. She has a BA in English from Duke University and an MBA in Finance from The Wharton School at The University of Pennsylvania. She hosts an author series called Friends with Words and spent several years on the novel writing faculty at The Writing Institute at Sarah Lawrence College. She lives in Florida and Connecticut with her family. Her novels have been translated into 23 languages. Book Summary: A romance about a single mother who's offered a Pretty Woman-type deal that's too good to refuse. If they begin by pretending, can they end with something real? Dolly Brick has never met a problem she couldn't solve. Not when her mom left when she was twelve, and not at thirty-nine when she moves with her son back to Wickford, Rhode Island for the summer to keep her dad and brother from losing the family home. So when she comes across Stewart Wickford—annoyingly handsome scion of the Wickford family—with a flat tire and at the wrong end of a very public, very humiliating breakup, it's in her nature to help. But Stewart's proposed arrangement ends up being more than either of them bargained for, because as public dinners and high society benefits turn into sunset boat rides and swinging on the porch, Dolly starts to feel something more than helpful. She's never relied on anyone besides herself, can she really start now?

Garry from Monaghan also put in a fantastic performance on Rhyme It, climbing the leaderboard with one of the best runs of the week. Plus, on Get It Off Your Chest, one listener shared her concerns that her boyfriend's extreme money-saving habits could be a major relationship red flag.

In this episode, host Evan Mitchell, MD sits down with co-residents Kelsey Muir, MD and Jaewook Shin, MD pull back the curtain on the mandatory research years at the Brown General Surgery Residency program. They dive deep into the jarring transition from the high-velocity, 80-hour clinical marathon of PGY-2 year to the completely unstructured autonomy of the lab. Inside the Episode:The Labs: Kelsey discusses her work with surgical swine models studying ischemic heart disease in Dr. Selke's cardiac lab, while Jay shares his experience pioneering computational biology and RNA sequencing in Dr. Monaghan's trauma/sepsis lab. The Transition Shock: What it feels like when your body is conditioned to round at 5:00 AM, but suddenly you are entirely responsible for making your own schedule. The PI Relationship: Learning to navigate the "surgery-style" mentorship—being thrown into the ocean to build independence, with a mentor ready to throw a life vest when needed. The Return to Form: An honest look at the fear of "clinical rust," why the mental fortitude built in the first two years never actually leaves you, and the reality of watching your peers move ahead while you step away. Words of Wisdom: Why the lab years are a crucial window to reprioritize family and faith, focus on the process over the product, and reconnect with why you chose surgery in the first place.

It's claimed carers in Clare are struggling financially as a result of 'six years of broken promises'. It comes as Family Carers Ireland found those in local authority housing in Clare pay €77.50 a week in rent, 58% more than Monaghan which was found to be the cheapest in the country. The Government committed to standardising the Differential Rent Scheme in the program for Government in 2020. Clare Aontú rep June Dillon says it's high time carers nationwide are treated fairly.
Jeff Brightwell sits down with Coach Brooks Monaghan to talk about the program, a new addition to the coaching staff, and the progress of Liza Wellford Fletcher Stadium. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Fritz Folts, chief investment strategist at 3EDGE Asset Management, says he has pulled back slightly on equity exposure but gone deeper into a diversified approach because the market has been crazy, driven by investors' fear of missing out, sky-high expectations and more, to the point where the key is to participate and not be wrong because you are taking chances on what amounts to a wild guess. If Folts had to guess, he'd expect the stock market to have a bumpy ride in the second half of the year, finishing roughly flat from current levels. Michael Monaghan, founder and portfolio manager of the Founder ETFs makes his debut in the Market Call, talking about his firm's methodology, which focuses on companies where the original founder remains in the driver seat. Research shows that founder-led companies tend to outperform for several reasons, notably that the entrepreneurs behind them have a long-term vision and are not swayed by short-term market noise or pressured to produce a quarterly profit. Monaghan, who runs the Founders 100 ETF, discusses how founder-CEOs influence giants like Nvidia and Meta Platforms and how a portfolio of these stocks can expect more stable long-term performance. In the ETF of the Week segment, Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, focuses on a value fund from T. Rowe Price that just hit its third anniversary, gaining roughly 30 percent over the last 12 months

Mayo are off to Omagh on Sunday to face Tyrone in Round 2A of the All-Ireland football championship. With both Tyrone and Mayo having recovered from provincial disappointment to record Round 1 wins over Roscommon and Monaghan respectively, the significant prize now on offer for the victors at Healy Park this weekend is a place in the All-Ireland quarter-finals, while the losers will be left with one last chance to progress via a Round 3 knockout tie the following weekend.In this podcast show we kickstart the countdown to what will be the eighth ever championship meeting between Mayo and Tyrone. Rob and John discuss the challenge and the opportunity facing Andy Moran's team this weekend and they run the rule over a Red Hand side made up of a mix of veterans from the All-Ireland winning team of 2021 augmented by a number of newer faces who have tasted All-Ireland success at underage level with the county in recent years. Rob also chats with podcast regular Nigel Reape, who points to the pluses and minuses from Mayo's win over Monaghan and argues why a more coherent defensive structure will need to be in place if the visitors hope to emulate the county's achievement of twelve months ago by coming away from Healy Park with a win.
Ryan Monaghan has spent over 30 years in law enforcement, serving across municipal police departments and now as Assistant Sheriff for San Mateo County. Along the way, he has experienced firsthand the differences between working in a city police department and a sheriff's office, from culture and community expectations to the broader responsibilities that come with county-level service. But one of the most defining moments of his career had nothing to do with a call for service. It was a decision that forced him to choose between protecting his career and standing up for what he believed was right. In this episode of The Chief Exchange, Ryan shares the story behind testifying during a high-profile investigation that ultimately cost him his position, and why he would make the same decision again. We talk about what integrity actually looks like when your career, reputation, and income are on the line, and why leadership means speaking up when others feel they can't. He also breaks down creative ways to gather real feedback from your community after calls for service, the importance of resilience when opportunities don't go your way, and why a growth mindset and strong mentors are essential to long-term success. From understanding that police officers are human beings asked to do extraordinary things, to embracing the reality that your career path will not be linear, this conversation is about courage, accountability, and leading with character when it matters most.
Running a business in Ireland is expensive. Energy bills are one of the biggest overheads for businesses across the country, and the building you operate from has more impact on those bills than most business owners realise. New research from Procure.ie analysed at 80,526 non-domestic building energy ratings (BER) published by the Central Statistics Office (CSO), which measures the energy performance of commercial and public buildings such as offices and warehouses across Ireland between 2009 and 2025, to find out which counties are leading the way. Counties were then ranked by how many of their buildings achieved an A rating, the highest score a building can get. Kildare came out on top by a landslide, with 7% of its buildings (235 out of 3,355) rated A. That's almost double the national average of 3.6%. The county has become a hub for modern, energy-efficient commercial development, with planners recently approving a €3 billion data-centre campus by Herbata at Naas, and Kildare's pharma and semiconductor sites being built to high standards. Three counties share second place, each with 5% of their commercial buildings A-rated. County Dublin leads the trio with 296 out of 5,915 buildings achieving an A rating. Meath follows with 134 out of 2,672 buildings A-rated. The new 21,000 sq ft Thrive Centre of Business Excellence opened in September 2025, offering dedicated climate action services and adding to the county's growing reputation for energy-smart business. Westmeath completes the joint second-place trio, also at 5% (84 out of 1,684 buildings). In September 2025, Westmeath County Council signed contracts to upgrade its three biggest buildings (Áras an Chontae in Mullingar, the Civic Centre in Athlone, and Athlone Regional Sports Centre) to high energy-efficiency standards. Ballymore Group has also announced plans for a new sustainable town in Athlone, designed for 100,000 residents by 2040, with 90% of its energy coming from renewables. Longford (4.1%) and Laois (4%) rank in third and fourth place respectively, showing that even smaller counties can make a massive impact. Longford County Council received €793,822 from the EU Just Transition Fund to develop the Longford Enterprise and Energy Centre, and Laois County Council recently signed a multi-million-euro funding agreement with the Sustainable Energy Authority of Ireland (SEAI) to retrofit buildings across the Midlands. The Rebel County rounds out the top five, with 291 out of 7,263 commercial buildings achieving an A rating. Cork has more commercial buildings in this dataset than any county outside Dublin, and it is one of Ireland's biggest business counties for a reason. Pharma, tech, and manufacturing companies have all planted roots there. At the other end of the list, Limerick City has the highest proportion of G-rated commercial buildings in the country at 17%, making it the worst-performing county in Ireland. Kilkenny and Sligo are not far behind at 16%, with Louth and Monaghan following at 14%. A lot of this comes down to older heritage buildings and ageing warehouses along the Dublin-Belfast route.

We look at how Russia's armed forces are learning lessons from combat and examine Moscow's ambitions in its war against Ukraine. The full-scale invasion of Ukraine is part of a long-term, much larger project of turning Russia into a regional hegemon with influence on other continents, while it builds relationships with China and others who may help its goals. In this episode, Dr Andrew Monaghan, RUSI Senior Associate Fellow, unravels the threat and the depth of Russian long-term preparation for war. Dr Monaghan is a senior British expert on Russia with extensive publications. He has directed research on Russia at NATO's Research Division in Rome, at Oxford University's Changing Character War Centre, and has worked at the UK's Defence Academy and Chatham House.

Elated to welcome back one of the queens of summer reads, Annabel Monaghan. These conversations are always among my favorites, and I'm endlessly grateful that Annabel continues to return to celebrate her books with me. She has such a gift for making every story feel deeply personal, like a place you've known or people you've grown up beside, while remaining so grounded, warm, and relatable.This year, I am screaming from the rooftops about Dolly All the Time. Newly selected as the June GMA Book Club pick, this is going to be the book of the summer — the ultimate beach accessory, if you ask me. I told Annabel it may be my favorite book she's written, which is saying a lot, but also one of my all-time favorite reads. Yes, I said it.Why? Because Annabel captured something so specific and nostalgic for me. The setting felt so close to home, and the characters reminded me of people I grew up with. I was instantly transported back to summers by the ocean, to that unmistakable feeling of home and memory colliding. If you grew up near the water, you'll understand exactly what I mean.We talked about the inspiration behind the novel, the pull of the ocean, the beautiful dedication to caregivers, and so much more. Honestly, I didn't want the conversation to end.Dolly will stay with me all summer long because it is a reminder of humanity, humor, and love — all the things we need most right now.
This week on The Running Wine Mom, Samantha sits down with New York Times bestselling author Annabel Monaghan for an honest conversation about motherhood, caregiving, burnout, love, and the invisible mental load women carry every single day. Annabel shares the inspiration behind her newest novel, Dolly All the Time — a story about a single mom juggling work, family, financial stress, and caregiving while slowly learning how to stop carrying everything alone. Samantha and Annabel dive into the “curse of capability,” why moms struggle to ask for help, and how women often become the emotional managers of their entire families. They also talk about: Why romance shouldn't magically fix a woman's life Fake dating, family pressure, and financial stress in fiction The emotional reality of caregiving Raising capable kids instead of over-functioning for them The mental load moms carry every day Why women relate so deeply to Dolly's story The famous “pants” mantra from the book Writing chemistry and emotional intimacy Rhode Island as the perfect summer-book setting If you've ever felt like the default parent, the family planner, the emergency contact, or the one holding everything together — this episode will hit home.Follow Annabel Website: annabelmonaghan.com Instagram: @annabelmonaghanFollow Samantha Instagram: @therunningwinemom_Books MentionedDolly All the TimeNora Goes Off ScriptSummer Romance

In 1920 a momentous decision was finalised - three Ulster counties, Cavan, Donegal and Monaghan would not be included in the new Northern Ireland. It was felt that the new entity would be more secure without those counties which had nationalist majorities. But they also had large, Protestant, Unionist, Loyalist minorities - then abandoned in the new Irish Free State. Ed Burke has written a new book – it's called ‘Ulster's Lost Counties: Loyalism and Paramilitarism since 1920'. In it he examines armed loyalism and resistance to Irish nationalism coming from the people of the three counties. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
