Podcasts about Whelan

We were fortunate to have the opportunity to co-host the Dan Whelan Green & Gold Gathering with the Packers on Feb 18th and used the opportunity to catch up with the man himself! In this interview, we ask Dan about his talent at snatching high snaps out of the air, discuss the technical side of punting and get the truth on whether Matt LaFleur actually does talk to kickers!!

We're on a break, but what a way to come back, eh? Green Bay Packers star punter Daniel Whelan chats with Michael as he stops off in Dublin on an Irish and UK tour with the Green Bay Packers.Our content returns on this channel from approx March 22nd, but we are still active each day on Instagram.

MT.Heads fronted by John Daly (Lead Vocals & Rhythm Guitar) and Sam Connolly (Drums), the band expands live into a powerful five-piece with Aisling Stephens McGowan (Bass), Feargal McCabe (Lead Guitar), and Callum Byrne (Trumpet). Their sound fuses groove-driven rhythms, infectious melodies, and brass flourishes, creating a unique live energy that sets them apart. As Music Crowns put it, MT.Heads “blend groove-driven rhythms with thought-provoking lyrics and genre-defying soundscapes.” MT.Heads are carving their own lane in Ireland's alternative scene, fusing introspective alt-pop with infectious grooves and a brass-tinted live sound. Following the release of their debut EP Windows Turned to Walls, the band have headlined key Dublin venues including Whelan's and The Workman's Club, most recently selling out Whelan's Upstairs, and have been featured in Whelan's Ones To Watch and the Guinness NYF Music Trail. The band's story also includes a viral moment in 2022, when drummer Sam Connolly, dubbed “Sam from Monkstown, joined The Killers onstage in front of 30,000 people at Malahide Castle, earning them widespread attention. MT.Heads have played major festivals such as Sea Sessions, supported international acts including Landon Conrath. Opening the year with their new single freezing over, MT.Heads are entering 2026 as one of Ireland's most exciting emerging alternative acts. ‘Freezing Over' is a reflective indie rock track built on twangy guitar riffs, driving drums, and a slow build into an anthemic chorus. The song captures the emotional fallout of a night of miscommunication, balancing vulnerability with momentum. Its late-night, wintery atmosphere gives space to introspection while still pushing forward with confidence and clarity. Blending indie pop and alt rock, the track sits comfortably alongside modern guitar-led indie with a nostalgic edge. Fans of Dominic Fike, The Strokes, and easy life will connect with its honest storytelling and restrained emotional weight. Known for tight performances and crowd-ready sets, the band are steadily establishing themselves as a rising presence in Dublin's indie scene.

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar sits down with Mark Shaw of Then Jerico to talk about The Return — a moment that reconnects legacy, live energy, and purpose as the band bring their full show to Ireland for the first time. Watch the full XS Noize Podcast conversation below. Then Jerico are currently touring the UK and Europe, with debut full-band Irish headline shows at Belfast's Limelight 2 on Thursday 19 February and Dublin's Whelan's Main Room on Friday 20 February 2026. The tour features a 90-minute set spanning the band's classic first two albums — First (The Sound of Music) and The Big Area (Outside) — alongside material from Mark Shaw's 1990s solo releases. In this conversation, Mark Shaw reflects on a four-decade journey through success, setbacks, and survival. He talks about the importance of audience connection, shaping setlists that balance momentum with meaning, and the breakthrough impact of Big Area. Shaw also opens up about carrying the legacy of Then Jerico as the sole founder, revisiting early recordings and B-sides with fresh perspective, and why he's still driven to write songs that speak directly to the present moment.

It's thought the fees-free university scheme was theory vs reality. New data suggests the previous Labour Government policy failed to reach the students it meant to. Of the 26 thousand students who went straight from Year 13 into study in its final year, just 1.3% came from the most disadvantaged schools – around 230 students. Universities NZ Chief Executive Chris Whelan told Mike Hosking in their hearts Labour believed it would make a difference, but it hasn't. But he says but it's been very popular with students because it means there's less of a financial burden on students as they enter the workforce.

The tech skills gap is ever worsening in Ireland, with even large firms struggling to compete with multinationals to snaffle the best professionals. One person who knows all about this is Gillian Whelan, Managing Director and Country Manager of Emagine Ireland. Gillian has tackled the challenge of accessing specialised tech skills with a model she calls ‘Bestshoring',  bringing together bespoke, global teams for each project, using the best people from the right locations, at the right cost. In other words, building a custom ‘Avengers dream team' of global experts. I recently caught up with Gillian.Gillian talks about her background, fixing Ireland's devastating tech skills gap, the need for security by design and more.More about Gillian Whelan:Since joining Aspira in 2017 as a Senior Executive, Gillian has made a significant impact on the business, progressing to head up the very successful Project Management Training Practice within the company. She was subsequently promoted to Chief Commercial Officer in late 2021 and became the natural choice for the leading role, as the consultancy evolves and grows through its strategic partnership with Emagine. Gillian then took over from former Ireland MD Peter Ryan. 

It's thought New Zealand is lagging behind international trends in university education. Ministry of Education data shows 39% of adults aged 25 to 64 hold a bachelor's degree or above in 2024 – up from 17% 20 years ago. Universities NZ Chief Executive Chris Whelan told Mike Hosking compared with 65% in Canada and 54% in the UK and Australia, we're trailing. He says the New Zealand economy hasn't developed perhaps as quickly as others, but almost two-thirds of jobs now require at least two years of post-school training.

Jimmy Whelan’s career has come full circle. From injured runner to pro cyclist, then triathlon, and now back to running — full time. In this episode, Jimmy breaks down how years of elite cycling built an engine that translated directly to running. Why the bike gives runners free aerobic gains. How he rebuilt his run safely after injury. And exactly how a 12-week block took him to a DEBUT 61:37 half marathon in Valencia — one of the fastest ever by an Australian. We cover his training structure, treadmill threshold work, hills, volume progression, fueling lessons from pro cycling, and why runners are underusing the bike. A deep look at endurance, durability, and what happens when aerobic capacity meets smart execution. A must-listen for runners, cyclists, and anyone chasing performance without breaking down.

Maykay returns to the TPOE podcast to discuss her self-titled debut solo album, released October 10 via Grainstore Records. Known for fronting Fight Like Apes, she's also spent years collaborating with Le Galaxie, Elaine Mai, DJ Kormac, Jerry Fish, and appears on the forthcoming third album from Ailbhe Reddy. You might also know her as a co-presenter of Other Voices. In this conversation, she gets into the creative process behind the album she made during lockdown and held onto for a couple of years - a record she describes as the soundtrack to both the most trivial and the most painful moments of her life. We talk about the realities of the music industry, pushing through self-doubt, finding her own sound with the help of Ian McFarlane (Squarehead, Tieranniesaur, Cruel Sister), and we break down a couple of tracks on the record as well.

Maynooth University has joined an international space science mission with the successful launch of Mauve, a small ultraviolet telescope developed by UK-based company Blue Skies Space. The satellite, which was launched aboard SpaceX's Transporter-15 on November 28th 2025 at 18:18 GMT, marks the beginning of a three-year mission to study how stars behave and how their activity influences the habitability of distant exoplanets. With funding from Research Ireland, Maynooth University became a member of the Mauve Science Programme in August 2025. A research team from the Department of Physics, led by Dr Emma Whelan, will use Mauve to investigate how stars and planets form, focusing on a class of young stars known as Herbig Ae/Be stars. Herbig Ae/Be stars are in a critical stage of development before they begin hydrogen fusion and become main sequence stars, like our Sun. Dr Whelan's team will study their brightness over long periods to identify variability and search for signs of early planet formation. "I am very excited to be embarking on this adventure with Mauve and eagerly anticipate the research opportunities it will bring," Dr Whelan said. "Until now, my work has primarily relied on ground-based eight-metre-class telescopes, so Mauve represents an exciting new direction for me. Its monitoring capabilities will provide a fresh window on star formation and offer valuable new insights." The group plans to build light curves for a large sample of these stars, tracking how their brightness changes daily for up to three months. Comparing this data to observations of less massive stars may provide key insights into whether larger young stars form and develop planets in the same way as Sun-like stars. The importance of the Mauve Space Programme is not only in its scientific goals but also in how it represents a new, faster, and more collaborative approach to doing space science. Designed and built in under three years, Mauve is a small, suitcase-sized satellite, weighing around 18kg, and equipped with a 13 cm telescope that observes in ultraviolet and visible light (200-700 nm). Its compact design and commercial access model allow research institutions worldwide to subscribe to the science programme, gaining direct access to space-based data without relying on highly competitive national telescope allocations. Research institutions worldwide have already secured subscriptions to access data collected by Mauve. These include Boston University, Columbia University, INAF's Osservatorio Astrofisico di Arcetri, Konkoly Observatory, Kyoto University,National Astronomical Observatory of Japan, Maynooth University, Rice University, Vanderbilt University, and Western University. Speaking about the launch, Professor Giovanna Tinetti, Chief Scientist and Co-founder of Blue Skies Space said: "Mauve will open a new window on stellar activity that has previously been largely hidden from view. By observing stars in ultraviolet light, wavelengths that can't be studied from Earth, we'll gain a much deeper understanding of how stars behave and how their flares may impact the environment of orbiting exoplanets. Traditional ground-based telescopes just can't capture this information, so a satellite like Mauve is crucial for furthering our knowledge." "Our vision is to make space science data as accessible as possible," said Dr Marcell Tessenyi, CEO and Co-founder of Blue Skies Space. "Mauve will undergo commissioning before delivering datasets to scientists in early 2026 and serve as a springboard to launch a fleet of satellites addressing the global demand for space science data."

In this episode of the XS Noize Podcast, Mark Millar is joined by ALKY — the Dublin-born indie-rock artist and former Emmy-nominated audio engineer whose raw, heartfelt songwriting is making serious waves across Ireland's indie scene. From his breakout singles "Dirty Tricks," "All Because of Love," "Perfect," and "How Do You?" to sold-out shows at Whelan's and The Workman's Club, ALKY has built a growing reputation for pairing widescreen anthems with brutally honest storytelling. Now, he's stepping into a defining new chapter with the release of his debut album Rinse & Repeat, a powerful exploration of addiction, love, and the endless cycles we fight to escape. In our conversation, ALKY talks about the messy truth behind his lyrics, his transition from studio engineer to full-time artist, and how facing his own patterns of self-destruction became the creative spark for the record. He opens up about sobriety, resilience, and why imperfection — both in music and in life — can be the most honest sound of all. We also dive into the making of standout tracks "All Because of Love," "How Do You?," "Perfect," and "Dirty Tricks," his experience coming up through Dublin's live circuit, and how Rinse & Repeat became a cathartic statement on falling, getting back up, and finding meaning in repetition. "I noticed I kept falling into the same destructive behaviours — the same chaos regarding alcohol and my relationship choices. Rinse & Repeat is a reflection of that cycle and putting it into songs." – ALKY Listen to ALKY discuss the making of his debut album Rinse & Repeat, addiction, love, and finding strength in repetition on the XS Noize Podcast.

“For anyone, women especially who are interested in the energy and climate space, I would say that you shouldn't feel that you need to choose between the public sector, the private sector, and the nonprofit sector. I've been able to continue to build my expertise in the energy and climate space, but from multiple different perspectives. My advice would be to just not feel that you need to pick one of those lanes and, and to take the risk to bounce between those different segments of our economy.”  Claire Seaborn on Electric Ladies Podcast Summer is a good time to think about your next career move. These five women trailblazers have some great advice. These are all women who Joan Michelson interviewed at length on Electric Ladies Podcast over the past year, and who have all broken down barriers to get where they are, blazing a trail for the rest of us. They each advocate for and/or work directly in energy, climate, sustainability and ESG – environment, social, governance – and share actionable tips that every woman (and man) can apply today. This episode brings you advice from:    · Hilary Doe, Michigan's Chief Growth Office on how the state is turning IRA Credits into Growth – and the first person in the U.S. to hold that kind of role. Congresswoman Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA), and Co-Chair of the Bipartisan Climate Solutions Caucus, on the politics of energy and infrastructure Claire Seaborn, former Chief of Staff to Canada's Minister of Energy and Natural Resources on what the U.S. can learn from Canada's energy policies ·  Tensie Whelan, Founding Director of NYU Stern on why sustainable business is good business.  ·  Zara Summers, Chief Science Officer at LanzaTech about innovative ways that recovered carbon is making its way back into our daily lives.

Today's Episode is fun and insightful from start to finish and that is entirely down to my guests. One of the great Eureka moments in insurance comes when you meet an actuary who is a great communicator. Five minutes chatting to them usually unlocks understanding that would take you years to glean yourself, or which indeed you may never have worked out without their help. Luckily today I am talking not to one, but two such people. Simon Pollack (pictured top) is the Founder and Director and Owen Whelan is the Managing Director of Calibrant, a really interesting, relatively young business concentrating on portfolio management, particularly in the burgeoning field of Delegated Underwriting Authority. With MGAs continually gaining market share and also garnering extra scrutiny from senior managers and market regulators, Calibrant is in a fast-growing segment of the market. The core of what Calibrant and its Sybil software platform does is to wring improvements to the loss ratio of underwriting portfolios through joined-up, granular analysis. It sounds simple in theory, but in practice bridging all the gaps between the underwriting, reserving, pricing and senior management functions is the culmination of Simon and Owen's multi-decade experience in the industry. This is a duo right on the top of their game and this podcast is absolutely packed with valuable insights garnered from long and successful careers in our business. Simon and Owen met as London Market drinking buddies and you should think of this podcast as a very enjoyable chat in a bar with two great friends and a glass of your favourite tipple in your hand. You'll learn a lot and after listening to this I expect you'll want to spend a lot more time with this fun and down-to-earth duo. LINKS: https://www.calibrantinsurance.com/
