An Irishman Abroad

One year ago a riot took place on Capitol Hill. The facts of who incited the violence have been up for debate ever since. Hundreds of those involved have been arrested thanks to teams of internet sleuths known as “sedition hunters” who sent thousands of leads to the FBI and used social media to track those individuals caught on camera. But does any of this even impact on the support for Donald Trump? Marion McKeone re-examines what happened that day and how the subsequent investigations have played out. She also leads us through the story of Elizabeth Holmes. Holmes was found guilty of fraud this week in a case that brings to an end one of the most bizarre stories in the history of Silicon Valley. We also get Marion’s predictions for 2022 on everything from the midterms to Paul Rudd’s enduring charm.   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
