What if the very thing you've been apologizing for is actually your greatest advantage?Maybe you've changed industries. Switched directions. Collected experiences that don't seem to fit neatly together on a resume. While specialists often have a clear roadmap, many of us have careers that look more like a winding trail with unexpected turns along the way.In this episode of The Potentialist Podcast, I sit down with coach, leadership consultant and author Siobhán O'Riordan to explore why nonlinear career paths may be exactly what today's world needs. Drawing from her book, Reframe: How Generalists Thrive in a Changing World, Siobhán makes the case that generalists aren't scattered or unfocused. They're often the people connecting ideas, solving complex problems and helping organizations navigate change.In our conversation, you'll discover:• Why generalists make up nearly half the workforce, yet often feel invisible• How "looking around the corner" helps leaders spot opportunities others miss• How to tell your career story with confidence, even if your path doesn't look linear• What generalists need from managers, mentors and workplaces to do their best workIf you've ever wondered how to explain your twists, turns, pivots or unexpected detours, this conversation will help you see them through a completely different lens.Your career path may not be messy after all. It might just be evidence that you're built to connect dots others can't see.

The Government is set to bring forward Jennie's Law this week, legislation that would establish a public register of people convicted of serious domestic violence offences. Named in memory of Jennifer Poole, the law is designed to help people make safer decisions in relationships by allowing access to information about past convictions. However, it also raises important questions around privacy, victim safety, and how effectively such measures can prevent domestic abuse. To discuss the potential impact of the proposed legislation, Alan Morrissey joined by Siobhán O'Connor, Director of Services with Clare Haven. Photo (c) Collins via The Irish Independent

Pete is back in studio answering your pet questions Mary from Galway asks:”My 8-year-old Labrador has started slowing down on our walks and seems a bit stiff when getting up after resting. Is this just part of getting older, or should I be concerned about arthritis?” Declan from Cork asks:”We recently adopted a rescue cat, and she spends most of her time hiding under the sofa. She’s eating and using the litter tray, but we’re worried she’s unhappy. How long does it usually take for a rescue cat to settle into a new home?” Siobhán from Kilkenny asks:”My cockapoo, Teddy, insists on carrying a potato around the garden every day. He doesn’t chew it or eat it—he just proudly parades around with it before hiding it in a different spot. Is this normal dog behaviour, or have I got Ireland’s first potato-farming dog?” If you have a question for Pete for next weeks show email producer@spiritradio.ie

Stories of superstitious drinks and a cheese grudge. Paapa Essiedu is a highly acclaimed actor, known for his work across stage and screen. After attending Guildhall School of Music and Drama, Paapa joined the Royal Shakespeare Company, making his debut in The Merry Wives of Windsor at the age of 22. Other stage credits include Death of England: Delroy, The Effect and, most recently, All My Sons, a performance which saw him win an Olivier Award.   Paapa joins Nick and Angela to talk about two TV projects, including Falling, where he plays a priest who falls in love with a nun, portrayed by former Dish guest Keeley Hawes.

Falling is available to stream and watch live on Channel 4 from May 19. You'll also see Paapa in Babies, opposite Siobhán Cullen, as a couple struggling through the experience of pregnancy loss. The series, available on BBC iPlayer, has garnered praise for the poignant handling of its subject matter.  It's an episode with a chilli kick, with big-batch spicy margaritas to get things started and then spicy prawn tacos with rhubarb & scotch bonnet salsa to keep things going. The tacos are a recipe by Ixta Belfrage, which is paired by our wine experts with a glass of Tohu Sauvignon Blanc Awatere Valley. Paapa is a huge fan of big bold flavours, including Thai and Mexican cuisine, and there's also plenty of love for fresh tomatoes and, thanks to his recent theatre run, white chocolate matcha lattes. And, after recently taking up cooking classes, what skills can Paapa glean from watching Angela in the kitchen?  You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for the spicy prawn tacos with rhubarb & scotch bonnet salsa was created for Waitrose by Ixta Belfrage For chocolate mousse inspiration, mentioned at the end of the episode, check out this recipe by Martha Collison.

Mark Carney's government has floated the idea of privatizing Canadian airports, suggesting it will make them better. But with Canadians already fed up with air travel, as costs seem to go up while service goes down-- would that really be the result? And what would the move mean for airport workers across the country? Host Caryn Ceolin speaks with Siobhán Vipond, Vice President at the Canadian Labour Congress, to discuss the case for leaving airports as they are, the hidden costs of privatization, and the case for public ownership as it pertains to national sovereignty.

To mitigate climate change, we must reduce new emissions. But what about the greenhouse gases already in the atmosphere? And what about the emissions that we can't easily reduce with existing technologies? In this episode, James and Daisy discuss carbon dioxide removal (CDR). How is it done? What does it cost? And do we really need it?SOME RECOMMENDATIONS: The State of CDR – Reports on the state of progress. Nearly 2.1 billion tonnes of CO₂ are already being removed annually, but around 7–9 billion tonnes are needed by mid-century.CDR.fyi – Provides trusted insights and analytics on durable CDR orders, projects, and financings across the carbon removal market.Counteract – Backs early-stage founders fostering innovation in carbon removal.  OTHER ADVOCATES AND RESOURCES:IPCC – CDR refers to technologies, practices, and approaches that remove and durably store carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It only refers to human activities that intentionally remove CO2 (not natural CO2 removal such as natural forest growth). RMI (2023) – CDR approaches can be sorted into three categories: (1) Biogenic CDR (plants); (2) Geochemical CDR (minerals); and (3) Synthetic CDR (energy). WRI (2026) – Outlines six carbon removal methods. Note: carbon removal is different from carbon capture and storage (CCS), which captures emissions at the source (a form of emission reduction).RMI (2024) – Five charts showing how much CO2 we need to remove from the atmosphere. CDR.fyi (2026) – Approximately $3.6B in private capital was invested in CDR companies between 2021 and 2025, with Direct Air Capture (DAC) accounting for ~61%.Climeworks – A Swiss company specialising in DAC and storage (DACCS) technology. 1PointFive – Once operational, the STRATOS facility in Texas aims to capture up to 500,000 tonnes of CO2 per year.XPRIZE – The XPRIZE Carbon Removal competition is a $100 million global challenge intended to accelerate scalable solutions for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The 2025 winner was Mati Carbon, who use enhanced rock weathering – spreading crushed basalt on smallholder farms in India – to lock CO₂ as bicarbonate for millennia while enhancing soils and boosting crop yields.BCG (2025) – Smallholder farmers in India that work with enhanced rock weathering providers have seen ~20%–30% higher yields and ~30% lower fertilizer use, resulting in nearly 20%–25% higher household incomes. ESG Today (2026) – Microsoft signed agreements to remove 45 million metric tonnes of CO2 in 2025. By comparison, Frontier Buyers coalition (the second largest purchaser) has purchased around 1.8 million tonnes to date. Microsoft has confirmed that their carbon removal program has not ended but that at times they may “adjust the pace or volume” of procurement. Frontier Climate – An advance market commitment to buy an initial $1B+ of permanent carbon removal between 2022 and 2030. It was founded by Stripe, Alphabet, Shopify, Meta, McKinsey and tens of thousands of businesses using Stripe Climate.Responsible Investor (2025) – SBTi allows high quality removals to be used for residual emissions (capped at 10% of total emissions).Interface – Created the first-ever carbon negative carpet tile. Thank you for listening!

Christina Koch is ready to make history. She is one of the four astronauts of Artemis 2 which is set to head around the Moon in the next few days. During her career as a Nasa astronaut, she has spent more than 300 days aboard the International Space Station, and she was part of the first all-woman spacewalk with Jessica Meir. This mission will take her and her crewmates on a 10-day journey, further into space than any humans have ever gone. Joining Krupa Padhy to talk more about Christina and the importance of having women in space, is planetary and space scientist Professor Caroline Smith, Chair of the European Space Agency Human Spaceflight and Exploration Science Advisory Committee and also Head of Collections at the Natural History Museum, and Natasha Carr, PhD researcher at the University of Leicester, who is researching planetary sciences and space instrumentation. Millions of voters will head to the polls on Thursday 7 May for the biggest set of elections since the 2024 general election. Today a group of organisations, including the Electoral Commission, are calling for the elections to be free from abuse. The Commission's most recent research, following the 2025 local elections, found that 61% of respondents experienced harassment or security threats during the campaign and previous research found that respondents who were women were twice as likely to report serious abuse and those from ethnic minorities were three times as likely. To discuss the impact of this, Krupa is joined by Niki Nixon, Director of Communications and External Affairs at the Electoral Commission, and Hannah Perkin, a Liberal Democrat councillor on Faversham Town Council in Kent. According to the NHS, one in eight known pregnancies end in miscarriage. For some women, they will experience more than one miscarriage, and for those who have more than three, then this is known as 'recurrent miscarriage', which affects around one in 100 women. It is a hugely devastating experience for those going through it, and is one that is often underrepresented on screen. A new BBC drama, Babies, aims to bring this issue in to the light, as it follows a young couple on their journey to parenthood. Siobhán Cullen plays Lisa and she tells Krupa about playing the role. They are joined by Zoe Clark-Coates, CEO of the baby loss charity The Mariposa Trust.The countdown to May's Eurovision song contest in Austria is on. As critics and fans analyse all 35 competing entries, it's Romania's song that is attracting a lot of attention. Choke Me is performed by Alexandra Căpitănescu and is facing criticism from sexual violence campaigners. The song repeats the phrase ‘choke me' around 30 times in three minutes, raising concerns that it glamorises strangulation, a practice linked to brain injury and even death. Alexandra Căpitănescu has defended the track, saying the lyrics refer to the feeling of being overwhelmed by emotion and ‘being suffocated by self-doubt'. Krupa hears from Dr. Catherine White, Medical Director for the Institute for Addressing Strangulation, and Lisa-Jayne Lewis, Broadcaster and Commentator specialising in the Eurovision Song Contest.Presenter: Krupa Padhy Producer: Andrea Kidd

In this episode, I speak with Siobhán MacDermott, a cybersecurity and public policy expert whose career spans Silicon Valley, global finance, and advisory.Siobhán reflects on an itinerant childhood and how constantly being the “new kid” shaped her relationship with risk, identity, and belonging. What began as an ambition to become an ER doctor took unexpected turns, from scouting mobile tower locations to eventually working at the intersection of cyber risk, geopolitics, and financial stability.We talk about how she found her voice in high-stakes, often male-dominated environments, and the role risk-taking has played throughout her life.Siobhán also reflects on her current focus protecting children from the risks of social media, connecting her work today to her own experiences of vulnerability, parenting, and growth.TeenAegis is accessible at: https://teenaegis.com/portal/platform-danger.Siobhán mentions The Anxious Generation: https://www.anxiousgeneration.com.Recorded on 20 March 2026.Connect with Siobhán on LinkedIn at linkedin.com/in/siobhanmacdermott/.Instagram: @at.the.coalfaceAnd don't forget to subscribe to At the Coalface for new episodes every two weeks.Help us produce more episodes by becoming a supporter.

STEM has become an important part of the educational curriculum at all levels across Ireland. Recently in Longford, this was evident as the Junior Cycle VEX IQ Robotics Competition took place in St Mel's College, enabling student teams from seven post-primary schools and one primary school to compete in battles of engineering wits, coding and teamwork collaboration. Schools on the day travelled from all corners of County Longford, and were joined by schools from Athlone, Mullingar and as far as Ballyshannon in County Donegal. VEX IQ is a STEM program organised by Longford County Council's IT Department designed to enhance students' digital skills, foster engagement in STEM education and encourage greater participation in subjects such as design, science, coding and ICT skills. Participating schools create teams of students from 1st to 3rd year to take part and build a robot from a VEX IQ kit. The robot must be designed and built to carry out the tasks of this year's game, 'Mix and Match'. Students and their teachers learn about robot building, engineering, coding and improving their robot design throughout the process. The atmosphere in St Mel's College was electric with teams strategising, cheering and competing in real-time. There was music, countdowns and the thrill of the clock ticking down. A total of ten teams from eight schools participated, namely: St Mel's College, Longford Meán Scoil Mhuire, Longford Moyne Community College, Longford Cnoc Mhuire Granard Ardscoil Phádraig Granard St Finian's College, Mullingar Marist College, Athlone Holy Family NS, Ballyshannon, Donegal The awards on the day went to: Excellence Award: St Mel's College Teamwork Champions: Scoil Mhuire Longford & St Finian's Mullingar Design Award: Scoil Mhuire Longford Robot Skills Champion Award: Marist College Athlone Judges Award: Holy Family NS Ballyshannon, Donegal Four teams from the event secured places at the Nationals, which will take place in MTU Cork on Wednesday, 25 February. Longford's Digital Strategy and the Midlands Pathway Plan both place education and future skills at their core. The county is facing a clear shortage of qualified people across key sectors, and these plans aim to close that gap by encouraging more students to pursue studies and careers in computer coding, digital design, engineering disciplines, ICT, the sciences and robotics. Together, they set out a practical route to build a stronger skills pipeline, support local talent, and ensure that Longford is ready for the demands of a rapidly changing economy. The VEX IQ equipment and this event is co-funded by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the EU Just Transition Fund Programme 2021-2027. The day's activities were supported by Christine Collins (Broadband Officer, Longford County Council), Siobhán Grealy (STEM Engagement Officer, Longford County Council), and all the staff from The IT Department in Longford County Council. Longford County Council Cathaoirleach Cllr Garry Murtagh said, "To continue to compete in a fast-paced industry, Longford needs people with these valuable skills. Events such as the VEX IQ will develop and make Longford students more skilled, more sustainable and better equipped to enrich life in our communities and help retain rural populations." Chief Executive of Longford County Council, Paddy Mahon, said, "Events like these spark a culture of innovation, teamwork and hands-on learning. The post-primary participation in this competition not only strengthens STEM education but also builds a future-ready workforce and inspires the next generation of problem-solvers and creators."
