IrishCentral is delighted to be teaming up with host Alan O'Mara and executive producer Mary Kate Boylan to bring the podcast - which originated in Ireland and is now based in New York - to our global audience each week.
"Real Talks with Alan O’Mara" celebrates leading figures from music, sport, art, and life. Each episode will feature vulnerable discussions that empower listeners to live happier, healthier, and more successful lives.
New episodes drop every Wednesday and will include unique chats with the likes of Irish comedian Katie Boyle, GAA legend Oisin McConville, journalist Evanne Ní Chuilinn, as well as regular check-ins with the Real Talks duo of Alan and Mary Kate.
“I am so grateful to the hundreds of thousands of people who have watched or listened to previous conversations, and I am so excited for this next chapter of the Real Talks journey," Alan said ahead of the podcast's return this month.
"We will continue to celebrate inspiring, authentic Irish people and promote diverse voices from all walks of life."
