This podcast is brought to you by M&S Food, where exceptional quality meets everyday inspiration.

At M&S, they believe great food starts with great ingredients from expertly sourced fresh produce from Ireland and around the world to chef created dishes that make every meal feel special.

So when they say this is not just food, they mean it.

As a chef, I've always loved the M&S approach to food, from the sourcing to the standards.

It's the kind of attention to detail that really matters in a kitchen.

It's food made with purpose, and that's something I can really get behind.

I'm Mark Moriarty, and this is Roasted.

Let's get into it.

My final guest of the season is the mercurial Ivan Yates.

Over some steak and mash, he shares his thoughts on everything from the mainstream media, the presidential controversy, why he fears for his grandchildren's future, to his predictions on Trump and the economy, and what he plans to do next.

Meat, potato, and veg.

Are we on air?

Oh, we are, yeah.

Oh, sorry.

That's okay.

I assume now, a man of your stature, it would be all fine dining, restaurants, champagne, caviar.

So going back through the years in your political career then, there must have been some serious nights out.

Go back to your childhood.

You were one of the youngest ever elected TDs at 21.

Yeah.
