Three cases that directly impact the rise of vigilantism in America were decided this week. The lynching of Ahmaud Arbery shocked the world but only when the public got to see footage of what took place. The place saw the same footage and were content not to act. Jarlath asks Marion about what this says to the public on the other side of these convictions. Marion takes us through the trial step by step and attempts to join the dots between Arbery, Rittenhouse and Charlottesville. Justice was served this week but how it came about was miraculous. How many similar cases have been buried? Marion and Jarlath also offer their weekly recommendations for what to watch and read.

Are you as excited as we are to be back around the table with vaccinated friends and family this Thanksgiving? Last year, we did our best, but it just wasn't the same. At the same time, the holidays can also be a potent reminder of people we've lost and the grief left behind in their place. For Bon Appétit contributor Alex Beggs, the holidays are about holding our grief and joy in equal measure, accompanied by a hearty serving of family favorites, whether that's mole enchiladas or a White Russian post-dinner cocktail. On this episode, we talk to her about the alchemy that turns shared meals into a way through mourning.  GUEST:  Alex Beggs, senior staff writer for Bon Appétit. You can find Alex's story, titled "Ghosts at the Table," here.

Thanksgiving brings frozen and farm-fresh turkeys to tables throughout the U.S.—but Michiganders, even in cities, have already been seeing wild ones wandering down streets and up driveways.

When you think about traditional Thanksgiving side-dishes in Michigan, you think mashed potatoes, stuffing and green bean casserole, right? But Michigan is so much more than a shelf-stable can of Campbells. We're a multicultural state that has carried forward ancestral delights to the Thanksgiving table.

With jury selection almost complete, Marion McKeone looks ahead to the most anticipated celebrity trial in recent memory. Ghislaine Maxwell stands accused of sex crimes, conspiracy and perjury related to the actions of the financier Jeffrey Epstein, who killed himself in a Manhattan jail cell in 2019, while awaiting sex trafficking charges. Attorneys have said that Ghislaine Maxwell “played a critical role in helping Epstein to identify, befriend and groom minor victims” and “in some cases, Maxwell participated in the abuse”. Marion looks into the dark corners and absurdity of the jury selection process, the presiding judge and questions over what this trial can hope to reveal. Later in the episode Jarlath gets an update on the censure of Paul Gosar and the closing arguments in the trial of Kyle Rittenhouse.   To hear every episode in full and to gain access to the entire back-catalogue of over 500 Irishman Abroad episodes that are not available on iTunes for just the price of a pint every month visit www.patreon.com/irishmanabroad   Supplementary research provided by John Meagher.   If you would like a story discussed, get in touch, the Irishman Abroad Liveline is now open.

This week, Michigan's COVID infection numbers exploded into a fourth surge that has worried doctors, overwhelmed hospital systems and left the rest of us asking what could be next. Michigan is now leading the nation in COVID infections.  West Michigan's largest hospital, Spectrum Health, on Tuesday reported more COVID inpatient cases than the hospital has ever had at any point in the pandemic. In addition, more tests are coming back positive, more kids are being hospitalized and people seem to be sicker than in previous months, according to Michigan Radio reporter, Dustin Dwyer.  Dr. Preeti Malani, chief health officer at the University of Michigan, is responsible for the health and safety of tens of thousands of students, faculty, and staff. She's also a practicing physician at Michigan Medicine who specializes in infectious disease.  “It's easy to forget that this is a novel coronavirus,” Malani said. While doctors have made strides in prevention and treatment, the way the virus moves and changes is not fully understood. “We still don't understand it even almost two years into this. Although it's changed all of humanity, we're still learning,” she said. But we do know who's most likely to become severely ill from contracting the virus. According to Dr. Malani, most people hospitalized due to COVID are unvaccinated or those with underlying health conditions.  “We still have work to do in terms of getting folks vaccinated,” she said.  As if hospitals don't have enough on their plates with the surge, the state continues to be threatened by another virus: the flu. Dr. Malani warned of what she called a “twindemic”—being hit by a flu outbreak amid the pandemic. Although she first started worrying about how both viruses' paths might collide last year, her fears didn't pan out -- possibly because many Michiganders were staying home and avoiding one or the other disease. But this year, the fourth surge, combined with low vaccination rates, may be cause for concern. Around 70% of Michiganders are fully vaccinated against coronavirus. But, according to state records, only 20% have gotten flu shots this season. At this time last year, Michigan's vaccination rates were nearly 50% higher. Health systems paid a lot of attention to vaccinating against the flu because, in addition to avoiding the bug, their ERs and inpatient beds were already overwhelmed, Dr. Malani said. To the extent they know healthcare systems are swamped by COVID, people may be more motivated to get their flu shots in coming weeks. Most flu vaccines are free with insurance, but free vaccines are available for those without insurance as well. Locations for COVID and flu vaccines can be found at vaccines.gov.  GUESTS: Dustin Dwyer, reporter with Michigan Radio Dr. Preeti Malani, chief health officer at the University of Michigan -- Looking for more conversations from Stateside?

Today, PBS will premiere the new film "American Exile” about the lives of military veterans, deported from the United States after their service, because of their immigration status. The documentary was a collaborative effort between Burning Box Studio and WKAR Public Media at Michigan State University.

GUESTS: Carleen Hsu is a journalism professor at MSU, and editor of documentary "American Exile." John Valadez is a journalism professor at MSU and production director of the documentary "American Exile."

On Friday, we considered the possible need for new tactics for the U.S. to secure the release of Michigan-born journalist Danny Fenster from his imprisonment in Myanmar since May. He had just been sentenced to 11 years of hard labor on alleged charges that included violating immigration law and encouraging dissent against the military. He also faced newly raised charges of sedition and terrorism, which can carry life sentences in Myanmar under its current military regime. Just three days later, seemingly suddenly, Fenster was finally freed today. “There started to be some rumors circulating a couple of hours before he was actually released,” said Andrew Nachemson, a friend and colleague of Fenster's at Frontier Myanmar who is currently based in Thailand. Former diplomat and past governor of New Mexico Bill Richardson was in Myanmar last week for face-to-face meetings with the regime's Senior Gen. Min Aung Hlaing, on a mission to talk about COVID. He negotiated Fenster's release. It was the last step in a monthslong process. “The suddenness of the release shouldn't fool people,” said U.S. Representative Andy Levin (MI-09). “It was the result of steady patient work by career diplomats and folks in the intelligence and diplomatic community around the world.” On today's Stateside podcast episode, April Baer talks with both Nachemson and Levin about Fenster's release, and where this saga leaves journalists still in the region as well as U.S. relations with the regime. GUESTS: Congressman Andy Levin is a Democrat representing Michigan's 9th congressional district. Andrew Nachmenson is a journalist covering politics and human rights in southeast Asia. -- Looking for more conversations from Stateside? Right this way.

This week the New York Democrat Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez hit the headlines again when The White House condemned the Republican congressman Paul Gosar for tweeting a video which depicted him striking and appearing to kill her. The House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, said “threats of violence against members of Congress and the president of the United States must not be tolerated” and called on the House Republican leader, Kevin McCarthy, to join in condemning the video and call on law enforcement to investigate”. AOC is adamant that this kind of thing is nothing new and nothing will happen as a result. She says she's used to this.    Jarlath is joined as always by our US correspondent Marion McKeone to talk about what happened. Is the treatment of Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez barely even news? Marion tries to explain what it is about her that gets this furious response from Republicans. When did all this begin? And are the bookies right when they say that she is destined for the White House.   If you would like a story discussed, get in touch, the Irishman Abroad Liveline is now open.

So, this week, sit back and listen as we revisit the history of these five amazing ladies as they take their well-deserved place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

Marion McKeone has spent the past week investigating the death of Halyna Hutchins. The cinematographer tragically died when a live round was discharged during the filming of a western starring Alec Baldwin. In this week's Irishman In America Marion examines the facts of the incident, what is known/unknown at this time and the role that budget cuts might have played in this tragedy that has rocked the world of cinema. In the extended Patreon version of this episode Marion goes deeper into similar incidents that have occurred on movie sets in the recent past. She has spent time working in film production and gives a first hand account of the macho behaviour that often pervades. We get a deeper insight into how the ammunition and guns were stored on this set and a new detail which she has uncovered. It would seem that some of the film prop guns were used by crew to fire live rounds during breaks in filming. Finally Jarlath asks Marion about Alec Baldwin and the bizarre revelling of Trump Jnr in this horrendous incident.   If you would like a story discussed, get in touch, the Irishman Abroad Liveline is now open.

How did America's richest people become its most murdered? Today on Irishman In America, Marion McKeone takes us through the most forgotten series of serial killings in American history, the first case for and the reason why the FBI was created. “The Osage Murders” involved mass conspiracy, corruption and violence that extended all the way to Washington. The subject of David Granny's award winning book, “Killers Of The Flower Moon” is currently in production as a major motion picture but why has it taken this long for the world to acknowledge this horrendous series of crimes against a small group of wealthy native Americans? With the passing of Colin Powell came Donald Trump's offensive statement. The former President sank to even greater depths this week but how will history remember Powell and do statements like this muddy the water?    If you would like a story discussed, get in touch, the Irishman Abroad Liveline is now open.

Does the media have a role to play in the rise of vaccine scepticism in America? Marion McKeone examines the impact of Joe Rogan and other alternative news sources in a week when his interview with CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta drew massive attention. Who is Joe Rogan and why do so many people look up to him? Marion looks at his origins and the choir he appears to preach to. What does the attempt by Texas to prevent vaccine mandates mean and will it produce any change in national policy? Will NBA superstars and other athletes who refuse the vaccine be viewed as martyrs for their cause or spoiled brats unwilling to do everything necessary to win.

Marion sifts through the ashes of another ridiculous week in American politics and current affairs. She starts with her bizarre visit to the NRA's AGM in Texas. The focus then turns to Facebook's hearings where whistleblower Frances Haugen landed a deep blow to the social media giant. Jarlath asks Marion if the slippery Mark Zuckerberg can talk his way out of this one. We take a look back at his previous performances in front of old men with no tech knowledge. In a wide ranging discussion Marion leads us through the latest in the Texas abortion law challenges, William Shatner's trip to space, Britney's new lease on life and the most shocking killing of a pharmacist distributing vaccines. Like a knife through butter Marion cuts to the heart of this week's stories and more.  If you would like a story discussed, get in touch, the Irishman Abroad Liveline is now open.
