The ClockWork Junkie Podcast

Sometimes something very small can change the way you see things. In this episode, I tell the story of a woman in a shop who, without knowing anything about me, taught me something about kindness that stayed with me. I also take a step back and talk about The Clockwork Junkie Podcast itself — how things have been going since the return, the numbers, what I’ve learned along the way, and where I wan...

What if the world really is as broken as it sometimes feels? We see war. Suffering. Greed. Division. Poverty. Corruption. People struggling while others seem to have more than they could ever need. Every day brings another story that makes you wonder where humanity is heading. And sometimes you can’t help asking: Where is God in all of this? Why does evil seem to win? Why do good people suffer? An...

Some conversations are different. Some questions deserve to be heard without expectations, assumptions, or preconceived ideas. In this episode of The Clockwork Junkie Podcast, I’m taking things in a direction unlike anything I’ve recorded before. Rather than tell you what to expect, I’ll leave you with one simple suggestion: Listen with fresh ears, an open mind, and see where the conversation take...

How much of your life is shaped by worrying about what other people think of you? In this solo episode, I talk about self-belief, resilience, criticism, failure, haters, and the courage to keep moving when things don't go your way. Not everyone will like you. Some people will judge you, misunderstand you, or even want to see you fail. But that doesn't mean you stop. You get one life. Be yourself....

For ten years I lived with chronic depression. This isn't a conversation about quick fixes, motivational quotes or pretending everything will be okay. It's the most honest account I've ever shared about what those ten years were really like. In this deeply personal episode, I talk about the sleepless nights, the panic, the feeling of being trapped inside my own mind, the moment I looked in the mir...

This week I sit down with Ginny Burton for one of the most powerful conversations ever featured on the podcast. Introduced to drugs at just 7 years old by her own mother, Ginny’s life spiralled into addiction, crime, prison and years of survival mode. Arrests, felonies, jail cells and destruction became normal long before she ever had a chance at a normal childhood. This is a story about escaping...

This week I sit down with Ronan Walsh for one of the most honest and emotional conversations ever featured on the podcast. We talk about Zoe — Ronan’s daughter — who passed away at just 8 months old. This episode isn’t about sensationalism or shock. It’s about grief, love, memory and the reality of trying to keep going after unimaginable loss. Ronan speaks openly about fatherhood, hospitals, helpl...

Do we actually believe what we say we believe? Or do we just like the sound of it? In this episode, we take a closer look at the gap between what we claim to believe and how we actually live day to day. We get into: the difference between belief and simple agreement why many of our beliefs are borrowed, not built how our habits quietly reveal what we truly value and the tension that comes from liv...

In this episode, we take a closer look at the small, almost invisible habits that slowly pull you off course—the ones that feel normal, harmless… even comfortable. We get into: drifting through life without really choosing it constant distraction and the need to avoid silence the things you know you should change—but keep putting off and the strange feeling of being “fine”… but not quite right .Th...

A cry in the night. A sound you can’t place. And a feeling you don’t forget. In this episode, we step into one of Ireland’s most haunting and enduring legends — the Banshee. Not just a story…but something that has been whispered about for generations. Said to appear before death, heard but rarely seen, the Banshee isn’t something people go looking for…but something they remember hearing. We explor...

What if this isn’t speculation anymore? What if the conversation has already moved on… and most people just haven’t caught up? In this episode, We step away from the usual “do UFOs exist?” question—and look at something far more uncomfortable: Why are trained military pilots, radar operators, and intelligence officials all describing the same kinds of encounters… and why is it being acknowledged p...

A deep, funny, honest conversation about overstimulation...
