In this week's episode, we ask ‘how do we handle that person who seems to have a knack for getting under our skin at work?'I'm joined by Dr Richard Hogan, a Psychotherapist who sees this kind of thing all the time. He's a bestselling author, the star of RTÉ's Raised by The Village, and co-host of the hit podcast They F**k You Up with Dr Ciara Kelly. In this conversation, we explore how to navigate challenging relationships at work (but, of course, this can be applied in many environments!). We talk about managing stress, setting boundaries, and avoiding burnout - all while keeping your cool and doing your best.Richard helps us rethink those difficult people in our lives, encouraging us to view them not as tyrants, but as potential teachers. Whether you're dealing with a work bully or just someone who causes you stress, this conversation offers practical advice for surviving and thriving in challenging relationships.You can find Richard on www.therapyinstitute.ie.

Please note: This episode contains references to sexual abuse, which some listeners may find triggering.My guest this week is the best-selling author & psychologist Katriona O'Sullivan. Not only does Katriona have a life-story that is nothing short of exceptionally powerful, she is the author of the phenomenal book Poor, which spent over 40 weeks at No.1 on the Irish non-fiction charts, won Biography of the Year and the Listeners' Choice Award at the Irish Book Awards, and is now being adapted for the stage at the Gate Theatre during the Dublin Theatre Festival from Sep 26.Katriona speaks openly about her childhood journey, which was marked by extreme poverty, neglect, and abuse, to becoming a respected academic and advocate for educational equity. In this fascinating conversation we look at healing from trauma (with a big and little ‘t') , how mindfulness can be harmful if not approached correctly, and Katriona shares her own healing journey through therapy and much more. This is a powerful conversation about compassion, purpose, and how just surviving isn't enough - we need to build a world where more people don't have to.If you're new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!Visit www.dermotwhelan.com for more information and don't forget my new book Busy and Wrecked is out now!

You said, “God, remove anything not meant for me.”And now you're wondering why everything and everyone is leaving.This episode is your wake-up call.You didn't get rejected — you got protected.You didn't lose them — you lost the delusion of them.If you've ever prayed the removal prayer and suddenly found yourself alone, confused, or grieving what felt like “your person” — this one's for you. You'll realize God isn't punishing you, He's preparing you. He heard your prayer and started clearing the room.You asked for peace. But peace often starts with loss.You asked for clarity. So He took off the mask you refused to remove.You asked for real love. So He removed what was never real to begin with.This episode will wreck you in the best way. Because sometimes the biggest blessing is what never worked out.If you're in a season of letting go, hit play.Your healing starts here.✨ Stay Connected with Me! ✨

The Northwest Coast of North America is a treacherous place. Unforgiving coastlines, powerful currents, unpredictable weather, and features such as the notorious Columbia River bar have resulted in more than two thousand shipwrecks, earning the coastal areas of Oregon, Washington, and Vancouver Island the moniker “Graveyard of the Pacific.” Beginning with a Spanish galleon that came ashore in northern Oregon in 1693 and continuing into the recent past, Wrecked: Unsettling Histories from the Graveyard of the Pacific (University of Washington Press, 2025) by Dr. Coll Thrush includes stories of many vessels that met their fate along the rugged coast and the meanings made of these events by both Indigenous and settler survivors and observers.Commemorated in museums, historical markers, folklore, place-names, and the remains of the ships themselves, the shipwrecks have created a rich archive. Whether in the form of a fur-trading schooner that was destroyed in 1811, a passenger liner lost in 1906, or an almost-empty tanker broken on the shore in 1999, shipwrecks on the Northwest Coast opens up conversations about colonialism and Indigenous persistence. Dr. Thrush's retelling of shipwreck tales highlights the ways in which the three central myths of settler colonialism—the disappearance of Indigenous people, the control of an endlessly abundant nature, and the idea that the past would stay past—proved to be untrue. As a critical cultural history of this iconic element of the region, Wrecked demonstrates how the history of shipwrecks reveals the fraught and unfinished business of colonization on the Northwest Coast. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is one of the best films of 2025. In this episode, Alex Heeney zooms in on its beginning and ending scenes to show how they set up and pay off the film's emotional arc. From the start, you know you're in a warm, fun place (with a touch of sadness); by the end, you land on a romantic high the film truly earns. Alex unpacks how choices from structure to song lyrics to blocking work together to deliver that strong emotional payoff.
Horror, martial arts and more to discuss this week!

In this episode, I talk about the fiery exchange between Jordan Peterson and a roomful of atheists during a Jubilee event. But the real issue wasn't belief—it was a fundamental misunderstanding of religion itself. Learn what Peterson should have said and why our entire cultural framework, including that of self-proclaimed atheists, is deeply rooted in Christianity. --Go to http://GetLiverHelp.com/Turley to try their Liver Health Formula and get a FREE 1-month supply of Blood Sugar Formula!*The content presented by sponsors may contain affiliate links.

And so are (most likely) all 19 other so-called atheists in this room.”“Whenever people debate religion, either side rarely stops to define precisely what they mean by this term ‘religion'. Cultural anthropologists have argued now for over a century that religion is fundamentally a social order.”Timestamps: [00:21] Jordan Peterson's debated identity as a Christian[05:40] Why both atheists and believers misunderstand religion[06:57] The anthropological definition of religion as a social order[12:05] How Western atheism is rooted in Christian tradition --Thank you for taking the time to listen to this episode.

Jenny communicates the topic of pleasure in a wonderfully accessible and articulate way.

Jenny and her creation Oh! Moment has a commitment to enhancing sexual wellbeing through holistic sex education workshops, events, body-safe sex toys and more. Jenny uses a trauma-informed approach and, with her PhD studies in clinical sexology, enriches the content and practices she shares with such delightful ease and humour.So, if your libido has gone into hibernation or your idea of foreplay is syncing Google Calendars, this episode is for you - it's about making time for what matters, starting with ourselves!If you're new to the series, why not take the time to go back and catch up on the wonderful interviews that you may have missed!Visit www.dermotwhelan.com for more information and don't forget my new book Busy and Wrecked is out now!

Laura Piani's Jane Austen Wrecked My Life is more than just a great rom-com — it's a funny and moving portrait of grief, writer's block, and a woman learning to move forward. Alex Heeney digs into how Agathe's emotional arc is mirrored in the film's structure, how the frame composition is key to the film's humour and storytelling, and how Piani reimagines Jane Austen archetypes for 2025.

For this extra special bonus-length live episode, I'm joined by Comedians and Actors Willa White and Eric Lalor. The lads sit down with me on stage at the fantastic Púca Festival in Trim, Co. Meath to talk about their very unique experiences with mental struggles, the power of friendship, life lessons and a home birth that went very very weird!Willa White is living proof that you can come back from anything — with a bit of reflection, a lot of humour, and the kind of honesty that stops you in your tracks. He's battled addiction, transformed his life, and now uses laughter and his award-winning acting chops— not just as punchlines, but as a path to healing. His hugely successful and powerful one man show the Examination has played in theatres across the world and, in recent times, he sold out both the 3Olympia Theatre and The Gaiety Theatre (the first comedian to do so in over 10 years), making him the first Irish man to play the venue since it was built back in 1939.Eric is a multi award-winning comedian and his latest one man show, Lol'er By Nature was a sell out success at Dublin's Liberty Hall Theatre. You also might know him as the loveable rogue Cathal Spillane from Fair City but off-screen and stage he's one of the funniest, soundest, and most razor-sharp comedians in the country.Check out one of Willa's Work in Progress shows on the 18th & 19th June in the Axis Theatre in Ballymun, in the National Stadium in Dublin on Aug 2nd, or on Oct 1st in the TLT, Drogheda.

I'm reading and talking about Ted Gioia's "Immersive Humanities Course," 52 weeks of World Classics.Ted listed SIX Greek dramas for this week: Bacchae (Euripides), Lysistrata (Aristophanes), Agamemnon (Aeschylus), and the three Theban plays from Sophocles, Oedipus the King, Oedipus in Colonus and Antigone. We discuss how to read drama in general. I tried to read a little bit of background on each play before I dove in. One thing that's easy to forget with Greek drama is that the audience didn't have any spoilers; they knew all of these stories really well. They were there to see HOW it came together. That meant that some of the plot gets treated with shorthand in some ways. I tried to figure out the major players, and how they might have interacted with characters I had met elsewhere. It's astonishing how all of these characters are connected by one or two degrees of separation. Bill and I joke that it feels exactly like when we moved to Charleston a couple of years ago. I swear that every person we meet knows someone else we know through one or two people. It's the strangest thing, and Greek drama is exactly like that.I also flag my books like crazy: one flag for the cast of characters; one for the endnotes; one for a map, even if it's in a different book. As a matter of fact, my Fagles translation of the Odyssey came in handy this week. Not only are there some great maps, there is also a glossary of all the proper names in the Odyssey. Many, many of the characters I came across this week also put in an appearance in the Odyssey.Finally, I kept a brief “plot summary” of each play as I read. Only Bacchae was divided into scenes, but for each play I tried to keep a brief synopsis of the action as I read. This kept me from mixing up characters too much, and also it helped me to get an idea of how the various stories fit together. In addition, I read out loud occasionally, especially if I found myself alone in the house. It's easy to lose the thread of some of these long passages, especially where the chorus has an extended explication of action taking place off stage. Reading out loud helped me capture the rhythm of the language and also the drama of it in a way that reading silently could never do.I started with Euripedes' Bacchae, translated by Paul Woodruff. To be honest, half the reason I bought this edition was that it had Elvis on the cover as Dionysus! Not long after the founding of Thebes, Dionysus appears to bring his cult to the city. Dionysus is a son of Zeus but also the grandson of the founder of Thebes, Cadmus. Dionysus' cousin Pentheus is now king, and he refuses to acknowledge the god-status of Dionysus. Let's just say Pentheus regretted that decision. This play was shockingly brutal to me, even though all the violence always takes place off-stage in a Greek drama. There are ideas of redemption, and lack of it, woven throughout the play. Bacchae left me curious about anything related to the practice of the cult of Dionysus. Apparently the rites were so secret that nothing, not one thing, survives to help us understand what they did.Next I read Aristophanes' Lysistrata. This is a comedy, truly a farce, whose entire plot revolves around the women of Greece coming together to deny all their men sex so they will quit fighting with each other. It is hilarious, and I'd love to see this one performed live. I love a good marriage quote:“No man can live a happy life unless his wife allows it.”—AristophanesHappily, I bought an edition of Lysistrata that also had three other plays translated by Aaron Poochigian.

You ever get wrecked so hard you start questioning reality? Cool. Same. This week, we're talking about what happens after the dream gig disappears, after the footage is gone, after the thing you thought would change everything… doesn't. Because here's the truth no one brags about on Instagram: Winning isn't shiny. It's not clean. Half the time, it looks like losing. But if you can get through the garbage—like really get through it—you'll end up somewhere better. Maybe even where you were supposed to be all along. James breaks down what it feels like to lose big, sit in it, and keep moving anyway. No silver lining BS. Just real talk about momentum, reinvention, and why turbulence might be the only way forward. If you've ever felt stuck, shot down, or ghosted by the universe—this one's for you. https://youtu.be/2B__NyiA7_s #comedy #podcast #newbergpod
