À propos de ce contenu audio

How do we become more tolerant when too often difficult conversations are left to characters of a social media post, eroding conversations on difficult issues?


The "us versus them" debates is draining. On the 'Parachute Candidate' podcast, Member of the European Parliament Maria Walsh believes the heart of understanding the good, the bad and the indifferent is - conversation. Join her as she speaks with people on issues impacting society and let's start a conversation.

    • Dr. Jennifer Cassidy
      Feb 28 2024

      In episode eight of Parachute Candidate, I speak with Dr. Jennifer Cassidy on the current atrocities in the world, the impact of digital diplomacy, disinformation, and the role of genders in our politics. Our conversation starts with how she started her career as a diplomat to her academic focus with foresight in understanding the impact that social media would have on our political systems, worldwide. If anyone had any doubt of her insight and professional experience, her PhD from the University of Oxford (2017) included Case Studies on Ukraine, Israel and Gaza and the Former President of the United States Donald Trump. She knows what she's talking about. Here is our honest and open conversation.

    • Lord Michael Cashman
      Feb 7 2024

      In episode seven of "Parachute Candidate," I speak with Lord Michael Cashman. Born in London, Michael has dedicated his life to improving the lived experience of the LGBTI+ community worldwide. Many will recognise Michael from his work on Albert Square as Colin Russell in "EastEnders." In 1989, his role featured the first same-sex kiss on a British soap! Activism is at the very core of his life, and this passion has led him to serve in the European Parliament for 15 years and in the House of Lords since 2014. Michael has positively shaped democracy, and his continued hope for positive change for all, not just some, is remarkable. We discuss his journey as a member of the Rainbow community, co-founding Stonewall, his work in politics, and the rollback in protecting minority people. We conclude by speaking of his beloved Paul Cottingham, with whom he spent over thirty years and who sadly passed away in 2014.


      Some films I suggest to watch; "The Normal Heart", "Love, Simon", “A Secret Love", "Pray Away" and "The Boys in the Band". A poignant but important song about the journey we take as community members and allies is "Boys in the Street" by Greg Holden and Seeb.

    • Vice Admiral Mark Mellett
      Jan 17 2024

      In episode six of Parachute Candidate, I speak with Vice Admiral Mark Mellett. Mark served for 45 years in the Irish Naval Service, building on his skills to lead the Defence Force as Chief of Staff for over 6 years. Since his retirement in September 2021, Mark has continued his work in making positive change for Ireland and the European Union leading through his consultancy firm Green Compass which specialises in climate, offshore renewable energy, security and sustainability. His serves also as Chair of two organisations; Sage Advocacy and Maritime Area Regulatory Authority Board. Our conversation covers a wide range of topics; growing up in the West of Ireland, developing a career dedicated to service and leading teams for over four decades. His vision for Ireland and the EU for climate goals and how we must continue to challenge ourselves in learning inspires me to continue to learn how to show up better.


      My conversation with Vice Admiral Mark Mellett was recorded in August 2023.
