Today we got to find out how Oonagh got on with her forfeit in Navan yesterday embarrassing herself. Oonagh met a man who was very rude to her this morning, so we invited everyone else to get things off their chests. We also discovered that people are selling their toenail clippings, and then what people are doing with the clippings once they have them. That was a shock...
Oonagh lost a bet with Cooper so she had to climb Croagh Patrick. But, she went to watch Kerry in the All Ireland final instead. So she had to then go and make a fool of herself in Meath
Oonagh didn't come not the station very happy this morning. She was served by a very rude man in a shop and she had to get it off her chest. We then invited listeners to get rude people problems off their chest as well.
Oonagh loves to sing, we just don't always want to hear her sing. She has headphones on and can hear songs playing. All we have to do is guess the songs from what she's singing. There were some questionable lyrics sang today
Today's the day. Oonagh failed to climb Croagh Patrick like she promised she would. Now it's time for her to do her forfeit in Navan as a punishment
MK is playing the 3 Arena in Dublin soon, so we thought we'd have a catch up with him about his new music and how he's feeling playing in Ireland to an Irish crowd
Another game of our favourite Truth or trash where you have to guess who is telling the truth and who is lying through their teeth
Auntie Oonagh is back to sort another listeners problem with you help, the Wiggles do a famous Irish song, and Oonagh is back winding someone up with her prank calls. Plus your favourites like Truth or Trash and Scally's Alley
There are so many people in Ireland in relationships with AI chatbots. Cooper and Oonagh are jumping on the band wagon.
We love the Wiggles, and no even more so. They have decided to cover a popular Irish song that Oonagh loves to sing
Oonagh loves a good prank and she's very happy to be ringing people up and winding them up again. Poor Rose didn't know what to do when Oonagh rang her about committing some environmental breaches
Oonagh is our resident agony aunt, and she loves to help listeners out with their problems. It's not always the best advice, but take it or leave it as we say as a disclaimer.
Today Oonagh sang for us again in Tone Deaf, she was adamant Cooper should have guessed one of the songs she sand in particular. We spoke about the sexiest hobbies men have according to women, and Cooper and Oonagh told us about the chatbots they're both in relationships with.
Scally's alley is where we give you a statistic, and you have to guess the answer. It's not always that straight forward though. Oonagh has a lot of rubbish in her car for well over a year as well, so it was hard to guess...
Oonagh was back in the studio today after taking the week off to celebrate Kerry's All Ireland win. She was supposed to show up to climb Croagh Patrick last weekend, but she went to watch the game instead. Due to her sneaky ways of avoiding the climb Cooper came up with a new forfeit for her to do.
Oonagh was back in the studio today after her week off celebrating Kerrys All Ireland win. She didn't manage to show up to climb Croagh Patrick like she was supposed to, so we came up with a new forfeit for her to do instead. We talked about a new way to date a rich man in finance, dogs becoming couch potato tv watchers, and the challenges airport dads are going to face now with digital boarding passes.
There was loads of fun ahead of Oonagh climbing Croagh Patrick this weekend as she lost a bet with Cooper. Some very strange hidden talents are revealed, some of which shouldn't be revealed again. Cooper shares the trick on how to get your dogs attention for the perfect picture, and plenty of fighting talk ahead of the All Ireland Final on Sunday.
Oonagh is a proud Kerry woman and Cooper was cheering on Donegal. Plenty of fighting talk and song in the studio
Oonagh lost a bet with Cooper of who would win when Kerry played Meath. She was full sure that Kerry would "cocky" them. She was wrong... So, now she has to do her forfeit. She has to climb Croagh Patrick! The big weekend is finally here!
We found a girl who can say anything backwards straight off the bat. That's a strange but amazing talent. Cooper and Oonagh then started talking about their hidden talents. Some of those talents should have maybe stayed hidden...

I'm breaking down what's really happening in those “eff it” moments—not just the surface-level stuff like “I was tired,” but the deeper sneaky saboteurs: perfectionism, shame, and those bullshit stories we tell ourselves like “I always screw this up” or “What's the point?”We're getting honest about our comfort zone “stories,” the classic bullshit scripts we use to stay where we are, and the real, SCIENCEY reason why your peer group may be secretly sabotaging—or supercharging—your results.

Episode #67 with Nigel Morris-Cotterill, Oonagh van den Berg and Malcolm NanceIn this episode of Regulatory Ramblings, the panel tackles the Trump administration's controversial move to suspend enforcement of the Corporate Transparency Act (CTA)—a key anti-money laundering (AML) initiative passed under the Biden administration. The decision, announced by the U.S. Treasury Department in early March, stated that it would halt all penalties and fines associated with beneficial ownership information reporting under current regulatory deadlines. Crucially, it also confirmed that no penalties would apply even after forthcoming rule changes take effect—effectively dismantling the mechanism meant to expose the real owners of shell companies.The net result: the U.S. government will no longer require shell companies to disclose their beneficial owners, allowing wealthy individuals and corporations to hide their profits from public scrutiny. The CTA, passed in 2021, had required companies to submit ownership data to FinCEN (Financial Crimes Enforcement Network) as a means to tackle tax evasion and corporate cronyism. The rule's enforcement had already been frozen by a federal court order. Reacting to the Treasury's announcement, President Donald Trump took to Truth Social, calling the CTA “an absolute disaster for Small Businesses Nationwide” and celebrating the suspension of what he described as “the economic menace” of beneficial ownership reporting.This episode's Spotlight segment features returning guest Nigel Morris-Cotterill, a renowned expert in counter-money laundering and financial crime compliance. He breaks down why the term “beneficial ownership” is a legal misnomer in corporate law and argues that the CTA was always set up to fail—especially in a country like the U.S. that has historically resisted full FATF compliance. Nigel discusses how this rollback affects compliance expectations in Asia-Pacific financial hubs like Hong Kong and Singapore, stressing that legal and compliance professionals in the region must remain vigilant. He also cautions that the rollback creates tension between U.S. and local AML standards, while selective extraterritorial enforcement by the U.S. is all but guaranteed.Joining the discussion, Malcolm Nance and Oonagh Van den Berg weigh in on the global implications of the move. They explore whether this rollback represents a temporary pause for regulatory review or a tectonic shift in the U.S.'s approach to corporate accountability, transparency, and AML enforcement. Oonagh underscores that while the CTA imposed real burdens on SMEs, the abandonment of enforcement could signal a broader retreat from anti-corruption efforts—especially as the Trump administration also moves to suspend the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) and disband units focused on fighting kleptocracy.Together, the panel explores pressing questions: Will deregulation lead to more illicit finance? Is this the start of a new multipolar world order where financial crime enforcement becomes political and transactional? They touch on how trade-based money laundering, sanctions evasion, and the exploitation of legacy systems like hawala continue to pose massive risks to financial systems.The conversation ends with a consensus that blanket deregulation is not the answer. Instead, they call for smarter, more risk-based, tech-enabled regulation that moves beyond box-ticking and uses modern tools—like AI and data analytics—to target the real threats. It's a sobering yet thought-provoking discussion on what may be the beginning of a global recalibration in financial crime compliance.HKU FinTech is the leading fintech research and education in Asia.

Send us a textOn this episode of the podcast I am fortunate to be joined by Karen, Emma and Oonagh to discuss their campaign group #ThereForME. They came together to form #ThereForME following personal experiences of either living with ME, Long Covid and/or caring for partners with severe ME. They are a small group who are making a huge impact. We talk about their roles within the campaign group, how they came together and what they have done in such a short space of time. The group talk me through the campaign #FundThePlan which is raising awareness on a new delivery plan for ME that has been a work in progress for around 3 years for ME, looking at research, attitude and education and living with ME. The government has stated there are no plans to fund the plan, which will have a continuing impact around the lack of resources for ME. The #FundThePlan is something everyone can get involved with, by creating a short video asking Ashley Dalton and Wes Streeting to make a difference and #FundThePlan. If you are living with the condition (and are able), caring for someone or a supporter/advocate please take the time to create your #FundThePlan video. The templates and information can be found across the #ThereForME social media platforms the links can be found below, and if you aren't already please support and follow the group on social media.

Having Long Covid can be an extremely isolating experience, patients may not look unwell, but they have debilitating symptoms like shortness of breath, muscle pain or extreme fatigue. Sufferers say it's hard to explain what's happening, but now there's another language to help them communicate. It's called "body mapping" and is bringing positive results to Long Covid patients. Oxford University research fellow Maaret Yokela-Pansini teamed up with colleague Professor Beth Greenhough to use body mapping for their project Visualising Long Covid, with the help of charity Long Covid Support.Former professional rower turned Long Covid advocate, Oonagh Cousins, says body mapping allowed her to reflect on how the illness is experienced in different parts of the body. Maaret and Oonagh speak to Mihi.

Send us a textAs I reflect on this year, I've noticed something new: I'm way less interested in chasing those giant, shiny achievement goals. Instead, I'm soaking up the everyday moments—and loving it. Honestly, that's a twist for me, but then I stumbled on an interview that totally lit the spark.When I picked up How to Calm Your Mind, I didn't realize it was exactly what I needed.Chris Bailey—productivity whiz, calm connoisseur, and all-around brilliant storyteller—shares this vivid moment where he spotted himself in the overflow drain of his bathtub (yep, that's what that random metal thing is called) looking utterly wiped out. Next day? Public anxiety meltdown.Sound familiar? We've all been there, somewhere on the anxiety spectrum. And guess what? The lowest point on that spectrum isn't zero—it's something deeper: true calm. But, uh, how do we even get there?Chris says it starts with understanding burnout. Real burnout comes with three heavy hitters: exhaustion (check), cynicism (hello, eye rolls), and inefficacy (the opposite of feeling productive). And the culprits? Six sneaky factors—found at work and in life—that, when misaligned, push you to the edge.Then there's dopamine, that pesky chemical our brain craves but rarely gets from the right sources. Chris introduces a “Stimulation Fast”—basically detoxing from hollow dopamine hits like, yep, social media. Sure, TikTok's fun, but swapping it for something truly fulfilling (knitting? gardening? birdwatching?) is a game-changer.At its core, most of us want a meaningful life. So here's the mic-drop question Chris leaves us with:Are you chasing a life that you value—or one the world values?What's Inside:Why exactly would you want to calm your mind?Burnout is more than just exhaustion. What are the three symptoms?Six factors at work that contribute to burnout, stress, and anxiety... Can you fix them?Do you need stimulation fast? Taking a look at empty sources of dopamine?This interview was the catalyst for a deep look inward, and I'm focusing less on huge achievements and more on the value I find in my day-to-day. Where are you on that spectrum? Let me know on Insta!Mentioned in This Episode:Chris BaileyFit Feels Good info@fitfeelsgood.com Oonagh on Insta

Her prized possession, an antique artist's box that traveled from Ireland with her great-great-grandmother, is destroyed along with her deep connection to her art. As Norie grapples with her self-identity, obscured by grief and anger, she and her physically and emotionally fragile mother are forced to relocate. With no other relatives to rely on, they call on the kindness of her mother's oldest friend Dahlia and her daughter Wil, who run the Jolly Pot Tearoom and Burren Bay Lighthouse Museum on Manitoulin Island.

Send us a textAlright, meet Tara Dower, AKA "Candy Mama” (a trail name born of sugar and love for her trail mates); while she's refined some of those habits… the sweet, sweet nickname still stands.Tara set the Fastest Known Time (FKT) on the Appalachian Trail, powering through 2,189 miles in 40 days, 18 hours, and 5 minutes. To put that in perspective, that's like running from Calgary to Toronto…while climbing Mt. Everest 16 times. (My feet hurt just thinking about it!)So Who's This Crazy MOFO? Tara is the definition of grit, making it on the news as an endurance phenom. This is not Tara's first stab at the Appalachian Trail, previously accomplishing a thru-hike over the course of 5 months in 2019. Her first attempt in 2017 ended early due to a massive panic attack just 8 days in. If that bit of perseverance isn't enough, Tara shifted her goals and intentions with completing this hike to enjoy the challenge, not just another box to tick!Pit Crew to the Rescue! Tara is a metaphorical race car, fueled by a pit crew swapping out shoes like tires. Along the way, Tara raised over $50,000 for Girls on the Run along the way, mentoring the next gen of fearless female athletes. Her feat is part of a new wave of women pushing limits in endurance running. Even a powerhouse like Tara doesn't celebrate till it's over, claiming that she knew she'd made it when she got close enough that “Even if I fall and break my leg, I'll crawl! ” (Talk about GRIT baby)Whether you're an endurance athlete or you've just got a tough goal, take a note from Candy Mama: set your ego aside, follow your curiosity, and remember—if you don't try, you'll never know.

The Nettle Dress is available to stream online (https://watch.eventive.org/nettledressfilm/play/66fd50e5edab64004eb9dd5f) from November 15–December 2, 2024. Most of us avoid nettles, thinking of them as weeds whose little stinging hairs can inject a painful toxin into the unexpecting walker. But strolling through the woods near his home in England, Allan Brown was captivated by the tall native plants. Knowing that textile cultures across the world have produced cloth from nettles, he wanted to learn more about cloth made with nettle fiber. Except for a few exceptions—giant Himalayan nettles and ramie, which is a non-stinging plant in the nettle family—the era of nettle textiles is over. But thousands of years ago, nettle cloth and cordage fulfilled human needs for garments and tools. Like other ancient textiles, nettle cloth has almost entirely disappeared, rotted away and returned to the soil. Allan knew that the only way to experience cloth made from nettle would be to create it himself, so he set about processing, spinning, and weaving fabric from stands of nettles that grew wild in the woods. Before he could get down to cloth-making, though, he had to learn how to extract the fiber from the plant—a process without contemporary documentation or a skilled teacher. (The stinging parts of the plant are removed during processing, so textiles made from nettle fiber feel more like cotton or linen than stinging barbs.) He learned to spin, which proved not only the most time-consuming but also the most meaningful part of the project. “I just found spinning so therapeutic,” he says. He felt the solace of handspinning keenly when his wife, Alex, passed away over the course of his nettle exploration. In the aftermath of Alex dying, my world grew very small, my perimeters drew in, and I was just looking after the family. Sometimes my only connection to a wider world was just going out and collecting nettles, but it was within a really small geographical margin. So I think events sort of led me to, rather than looking for bigger and more, I tuned into the familiar, going in deeper and seeing what I could find and what I'd previously overlooked. And realizing, oh my goodness—all these plants, they provide dyes, these plants provide fibers, and they're all there right on my doorstep and have been under my nose all along. So it feels like it's really connected me to a sense of place in a much deeper way than perhaps I had been before. As he spun years' worth of yarn, Allan decided that the nettle project would culimate in a dress. A simple shape, cut efficiently from a narrow width of cloth, would be enough to create a dress for his daughter Oonagh, so he wove yards of plain-weave fabric and even spun the sewing thread to stitch the piece together. Seven years after his first experiments with nettle fiber, he slipped a handmade nettle dress over her head. Following Allan on his exploration, his film-director friend Dylan Howitt captured the stages of the process and has released a film called The Nettle Dress. (https://www.nettledress.org/) The film has been released in a number of markets, including the United Kingdom, and some audiences have been fortunate to meet the fiber artist and even touch the dress at a screening. The story of the dress and its creator remind us that the long history of foraged, handmade cloth can be ours again if we have the dedication to revive it.
