Mark Mehigan’s Weekly Roast

Which of the new theme tunes is your favourite? Give us a shout with any interview requests. We've got some very exciting ones lined up for the Autumn... https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

Liam A Brady is Ireland's leading professional private investigator. He's been in business for 51 years. He joined us in the studio yesterday with his wife and business partner, Annette. Two nicer people you could not meet. I have to caveat that some of the themes in this episode are very serious and contain details of predatory behaviour which may be triggering for some listeners. Let me know what you think and who you'd like us to interview next.

The secondhand cringe is real. Not to be confused of course, with the first hand cringe, which is also very real. Today is the day we recall some of your greatest most perverse attempts at locking lips whilst regaling some of our own romantic crash outs too. We are truly grateful to Mystery Mick for his unwavering joy and insouciance on the show. https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

Katriona O'Sullivan is an inspirational powerhouse and the bestselling author of Poor and Hungry. In this interview, we spoke about recovery, ADHD and self-acceptance. Katriona will be joining us in the Roast Office week, so let us know if you have any questions for round two. https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

I wonder should we make this a reoccurring segment where we reunite a listener with a prized possession they lost over the years!? A full episode also may be needed on Road Rage incidents

Mikaila Cruz had just arrived into work in the World Trace Center, New York City on the 11th of September, 2001 when the first plane hit Tower One. She talks us through the details of what she witnessed that day and how she manages to live with the trauma. We are incredibly grateful to her for sharing her story with us.

Tenerife, elevenerife seemed too abstract for an episode title. Stay tuned for the news about December 13th. Give me a shout with any Qs. Really looking forward to it. What a year! https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

Rob Lipsett is a Youtuber / Fitness Coach and one of the first Irish creators to make over a million swidgoes from the platform. In this chat we covered lots of ground - con artists in the coaching world, the impact of positive thinking, the theory of cringe until it's successful and many other topics. Let us know who you'd like us to chat to next. Check out Rob's Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/@RobLipsett

A fascinating insight into the culture and community of swinging in Ireland. Really grateful to 'Maria' for sharing some of her story with us. To be honest, I had never even considered how much of an outlet it must be for people in challenging circumstances. I learnt a lot from our chat. Long live communities that entirely exist to serve and protect their members! Pun unintended, of course. Who would you like me to sit down with next?

Even rock bottom has a trap door. The things you have all endured at music festivals are quite something. We also welcome the return of the most talked about contributor we've ever had on the show - the woman who had a threesome with her boss and the boss's husband.

This week Mark explores one of the sacred cows of Irish summer culture - the music festival. Submit your stories directly to Mark here: https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

In a genuinely bananas turn of events, one of our listeners does some private detective work and uncovers something that thickens the plot even further.

Now what?! Do we try and set up a honeytrap!?

AKA Mary Sloppins. Aka Nanny McPhraud. I genuinely have no words. Please get in touch with us if you have encountered this person on your search for childcare. It would appear she is most active on Facebook groups in the Dublin region. https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

From the child who told the entire nursery she had seen her mother's 'beard on her bum' to the kids getting fed by the local Chinese - there is no end to the childhood absurdity in today's show. https://www.instagram.com/mehiganmark/?hl=en

In June 2026, Jody Riley was contacted by her daughter's Créche to say that another child's grandad had 'accidentally' taken her daughter from the nursery. They said that once he realised his mistake he came back with the child. However, since then, Jody has been fighting relentlessly to find out who this person was and why the nursery seem to be protecting his identity. This is absolutely mental. Let us know if you have any questions or theories and we'll try get Jody back on.

Mark travels to Edinburgh to meet Amanda Knox. They discuss Amanda's time in prison, the Netflix documentary, coping with trauma, her performances at the Fringe, meditation and stoicism.

Tensions are high in the Roast Office as we record the first instalment of the community Whatsapp roast. Mark is devastatingly preoccupied with the Amanda Knox interview.

Mark discusses the baby clothing company he is building with Dr Afif El Khuffash. Himself and Michael also express their newfound appreciation for the sacrament of Baptism, after Mark's daughter's Christening.

In July of 2023, Rachel Waters was wrongfully accused of killing her own Mother. As her primary caregiver and the person who administered morphine from a hospice provided 'comfort care pack' in her final hours, Rachel was subsequently charged with murder in 2025. This is a terrifying story of injustice and grief. What happened to Rachel will never be forgotten but what she is doing now to prevent others from facing the same insane circumstances is truly inspiring. We wish her all the best with Marsha's Law. If you want to support Rachel like we do, throw her a few swidgos in her Go Fund Me here: https://gofund.me/0f8906bc9
