The Business
A weekly look at the world of business and personal finance with Richard Curran
A Take on Trump
We're joined by a man who knows Donald Trump well. Jack O'Donnell is the Former President and COO of Trump Plaza Hotel and Casino in Atlantic City and New Jersey. He's very familiar with how the US President operates.
Michael Cohen and Bosco
Another one of Trump's former disgruntled employees reappeared recently for very different reasons. His former lawyer and "fixer" Michael Cohen is serving a three year sentence under house arrest in New York where he has taken up a very different kind of testimony. Liam Geraghty has been finding out more.
A Life in Pictures
Simon Watson has photographed some of the wealthiest people across the world in their own homes including celebrated designers, aristocrats and royalty. A world renowned photographer, he's worked for the likes of Vanity Fair, The New York Times and W magazine. Many of his favourite shots feature in his book The Lives of Others.
Biden for Ireland
What does a win for Joe Biden mean for Irish business and business generally? We're joined by Feargal O'Rourke, Managing Partner of PWC and Samantha McCaughren of the Business Editor of the Sunday Independent.
Bonobos in the Boardroom
Misogyny wasn't a huge part of the American election campaign this time, but it's a problem that our next guest Oxford lecturer Linda Scott, author of The Double X Economy, says needs to be tackled urgently. In the book she looks at non human societies and she makes the interesting comparison between the behaviour of bonobos and chimps.
