Muchnick first appeared on What’s the Story? in 2007, discussing both his investigation of Gibney — the former Irish Olympic swimming coach who is the target of a two-continent campaign to get the U.S. government to return him to face sexual abuse charges — and Muchnick’s writings on pro wrestling. The new podcast episode is available at http://wtspod.com/ and on iTunes and other familiar platforms.
The What’s the Story? interview airs days before Muchnick visits Dublin to meet with Irish government officials, journalists, and Gibney victim families, in a trip arranged by the Irish news site Broadsheet (http://www.broadsheet.ie/).
The new edition of The George Gibney Chronicles updates previous content with a new introductory chapter outlining the role of the former two-time head coach of the Irish Olympic swimming team, while living in Colorado in the late 1990s, as a leader of a local Catholic church group medical mission in Peru. The ebook explains how Gibney’s chairmanship of the “International Peru Eye Clinic Foundation” coincided with the period when a controversial Peruvian-based Catholic sect, Sodalitium Christianae Vitae, was establishing a U.S. presence with the support of successive archbishops of the Archdiocese of Denver.
