Paudie O'Mahony. Winning five All-Irelands- surviving alcoholism. Owning it.
This podcast takes a turn around the 30 minute mark. The Kerry Golden years, the evolution of goalkeeping, dropped because of injury and never really making it back. It's all interesting reflections. Scratch a little, then the brutal impact of sitting on the sub bench becomes clear. It's not an exaggeration to say being a sub, contributed heavily to Paudie O'Mahony becoming an alcoholic. It cost h
We have a Galway v Limerick All-Ireland final
Cork gone, Clare out but it doesn't even come close to telling the story....

In December 2022, Armagh GAA supporter Natalie McNally and her unborn child Dean were murdered by her ex-partner. The details of the killing, shocked everyone and continue to reverberated in all communities. The level of deception was mind-blowing. The perpetrator was convicted and sentenced to a minimum of 31 years in prison. Who was Natalie? What was she like? This podcast, free from any restri
Armagh & Donegal gone. Kerry perfection. Mayo, Dublin & Monaghan win
We've reached our final eight. Wonderful sport of football
Gregory McCartan- Brutal honesty, pure craic, Red & black of Down
We didn't know what to expect when Gregory McCartan sat down in front of us. Iconic midfielder for Down, All-star and double All-Ireland winner. It turned into one of our favourite podcasts of the year. Once we felt it was going one way, another right hand turn. Then again, and again. The accent, the brutal honesty, the transfer, not liking Pete McGrath, but later understanding it. Ultra dedicatio
Louth stun Armagh & Cork do the same in Donegal. Tyrone beat Mayo
A spectacular weekend in Gaelic football! Louth stun Armagh, Tyrone beat Mayo, Monaghan & Meath make it through- what next for Derry and Roscommon? Galway into quarter-finals, Kerry too. Dublin into next round, and Cork, glorious Cork. Are Donegal overrated? Tailteann Cup heroics.
Darragh Ó Sé. Kerry. One of the greatest players of any generation.
Six All-Ireland titles, one more than his brothers Tomás & Marc, although Fergal was the trailblazer! He’s enough medals, that you need both hands to count them. It makes you part of Gaelic footballs most exclusive club.Bursting onto the scene in the mid nineties, Kerry seemed a million miles from winning the big prize. Darragh led that change. He defined midfield and for many, is one of the g

Dromantine retreat outside Newry was the spot where
Louth wait is over, Monaghan comeback short. Armagh & Westmeath wins. Ger Brennan
A wonderful weekend of Gaelic football, hurling and now we're ready for the draw on...Tuesday?
Tommy Walsh. Kerry in the blood. Football, life and loss
When Tommy Walsh burst onto the Kerry scene, he was the talk of the country. A similar trajectory to the David Clifford journey in those early days. Talented, physically developed and a year after playing in an All-Ireland minor final, he was with the seniors and Kerry won Sam Maguire. In 2008 there was an All-Ireland final against Tyrone "The Twin Towers of Donaghy & Walsh." The Kerins O'Rahi
War in Killarney, Cork, Tyrone & Galway through. Tailteann Cup
Kerry 0-16 Donegal 2-20. Where do we start?
Oisin believes the GAA have backed themselves into a corner with Ger Brennan, and Jim McGuinness will face a suspension. He doesn’t believe David Clifford should have been sent off. “We could chat about this game for 9 hours there’s that much stuff.” It feels like we’re now in real championship, a huge win for Donegal in Killarney.Cork beat Meath with lo
"I've just been diagnosed with cancer" Eoin McNicholl, Derry goalkeeper
Eoin McNicholl, 41, is a former Derry goalkeeper. More importantly, he's one of the nicest guys you could ever meet. He’s always been that guy. He played in the All-Ireland winning team of 2002, won a MacRory & Hogan Cup with St Patrick's College Maghera and he progressed into the Derry senior setup. He now works for the GAA in sports science, specialising in statistics. He's just been diagnos
Westmeath stun everyone & Armagh win Ulster
Beautiful provincial madness
Mikey Sheehy- the greatest goalscorer in Kerry football.
He's hit the net more than any Kerry player in history. His accolades are outstanding. Clifford is chasing him down, but hasn't caught him yet. With club and County, Mikey Sheehy achieved it all. One of the greatest Gaelic footballers of all time. This is his life, his story and and what he's learned along the way. The Ups of success, the downs of missing a penalty in the 1982 All-Ireland final ag
Kerry the kings of Munster- Roscommon glory. Ulster & Leinster preview
It seems the Provincials still have much to offer....
Catriona McGahan. One slip, and now in a wheelchair. Authentic positivity
Catriona McGahan was a superb Gaelic footballer for Tyrone. In July last year, she fell and broke her back, leaving Catriona in a wheelchair. There will always be hope, but in the meantime there's huge positivity. The authentic kind. This podcast is about facing adversity and living life. Through Catriona's wit and fun, the glass is always half full. Gaelic games has transported her all over the
Armagh romp, Monaghan madness, the Dubs are back
A mad weekend in Gaelic games as we figure out all the provincial finalists.
Noel McGinn. Playing for Tyrone. Regrets in life. Living with Parkinson's disease. Being happy
Three Ulster championships as a player for Tyrone and starring on the biggest day. The 1986 All-Ireland final in Croke Park, didn't work out after the break against Kerry, but Noel McGinn was pure authority in a defence filled with hard men. He was a successful player, school principal and someone respected in gaelic games and in life. He managed Dromore to their first ever county championship- bu
Down stun Donegal. Mayo are out after Roscommon win. Glorious football
It was earned and it was deserved- but it’s the shock of the championship season (outside the Down camp) and it was beautiful. 10 consecutive days in each other’s company and Down knock Donegal out of the Ulster championship. It’s only the second time Jim McGuinness has lost an Ulster championship match. Where do they go from here? Armagh v Down in Clones- could the Mournemen make an Ulster final?
Emma O'Byrne- Being a woman in Gaelic Games. Dublin camogie
This one is very different, and hugely important. Talking periods, fertility and challenges for female athletes is tricky, especially with two men in the room but Emma O'Byrne displays a maturity way beyond her 26 years to engage in this powerful conversation. Emma has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), most managers in womens Gaelic games are men. So, are we in tune to have these conversations? Ho
Monaghan & Derry through. Meath crash out. Wicklow should have beaten Dublin
Westmeath land the biggest shock of the weekend, and that means Down may miss out on Sam Maguire football. We'll see what Kildare have to say. Monaghan manager Gabriel Bannigan and defender Cameron Dowd join Thomas, Philly & Darren Hughes on the GAA Social. Recorded live on BBC iplayer after the Cavan game and you can watch it on YouTube. We thought Wicklow did well, only losing by two. Turns
Conor Whelan. Changing direction in life, no glass ceiling in Galway.
Conor Whelan will take the field this weekend as Galway begin another championship campaign. It seems, a two horse race for the big prize, and that doesn't include the current All-Ireland champions. Where does that leave Galway? Conor Whelan is different. A talented hurler and if Galway are to beat Kilkenny this weekend he'll be needed. He's different because he looks upon things, differently. Bef
Tyrone got something- but Armagh win. Leitrim shock, Westmeath & Wicklow wins
What a weekend of championship football in New York, London and Ireland. Cork get their win in Munster as do Tipperary. Big win for Laois and Justin McNulty. 5-25 for Westmeath is ruthless shooting in Leinster and Oisin McConville and his Wicklow team pick-up a huge win over Carlow. Next for Wicklow is Dublin! Conor McManus called the Leitrim footballers win over Sligo "The result of the weekend"
Jack O'Shea- one of our favourite ever podcasts. The importance of family
In the eyes of many- Jack O'Shea is the greatest player of all time. It's a huge claim, his roll of honour is staggering. Seven senior All-Ireland titles, three U21 All-Ireland championships, a minor All-Ireland, six All-stars, three Leagues and 4 time Footballer of the Year. He's ten Munster championships. But there's so much more to Jack. His father had an accident in his early 30's. Growing up

Matty Forde. A life in football & five weeks after losing dad
Everyone in Gaelic football knows Matty Forde. For Leinster, Ireland, his club and Wexford he was different class. Winning an All-star in a team that didn't have much success, cemented his status as one of the best in the sport. In many ways, Wexford are the story of 2026 with two consecutive promotions. Next year they will travel to Tyrone, Derry, Dublin and Monaghan. What's happened? Matty revea

Anthony Daly on life, winning, anxiety & reinventing himself. His love of Clare
This was a lovely hour with one of the most recognisable faces and voices in Irish sport. Anthony Daly is a former Clare captain, manager, leader of Dublin and has also managed in Limerick. He's a familiar face to us all as a pundit, columnist and now podcaster! He guides the ship and reinvented himself into something different. Behind the smiles and the craic is a touch of anxiety and how he's m

Anthony Cunningham. Hurling, football and why he thinks the GAA will turn professional
This podcast meandered into a subject we didn't expect to explore- professionalism! Anthony Cunningham is a top class coach, winning provincial titles in football and hurling. He's also a double All-Ireland winner with Galway. Growing up in strict hurling country, but developed into a fine football manager. It started by working with John O'Mahoney and a career that navigated through inter-county

All the games and leagues reviewed and we begin our look ahead to the final weekend. There's quite a bit of Louth chat. What's the glass ceiling?
Liam Sheedy. Tipperary, winning All-Irelands and what is the meaning of life?
Liam Sheedy managed Tipperary to two All-Ireland titles. He famously stopped Kilkenny winning five-in-a-row. Driven, passionate but in touch with his place. A stunning bond with his mother who raised four boys alone. She sung at the Tipperary homecoming in 2010, a very special moment. Concerns for today's young people, getting the best out of people and the possibility of managing again. We discus

Dr Eugene Young. A lifetime in coaching & how it's changed. What is a coach?
Ahead of Railway Cup final, Down great Sean O'Neill was lining up the coke bottles at dinner "I want you there, him there and you back there." Tactics in the 70's. It Blew the mind of Eugene Young. Different phrases, keeping wide, shape. From then, the former Ireland basketball player tuned into coaching. At 66, he retired last month from his role within the GAA as Director of coaching and Games d
Relegation woes for Armagh? Tyrone too? "Roscommon could win Connacht" Kobe debut
All the games reviewed on a significant weekend of Gaelic Games
John McAreavey. Moving forward after Michaela. Living life as best you can.
We don't say this lightly, but this podcast sits with the very best on the GAA Social. "Moving forward" that's what John McAreavey calls it, not "moving on." There's a difference. In his mid-twenties the world of John McAreavey collapsed after his wife Michaela, daughter of All-Ireland winning manager Mickey Harte, was murdered on honeymoon. The search for justice continues. Hope flickers dimly at

Aidan Forker- Armagh captain. Lowest moments, winning Sam, faith & what 2026 looks like
This is great stuff. A dive into the life of an inter-county captain. Aidan Forker missed much of 2025 and is on the brink of returning to play for Armagh soon. They're as good as anyone. There's a deep thoughtful side to Forker. He's married with a third child just arrived, a career change and has always enjoyed leadership. He's been reared in the blue of Maghery and the orange of Armagh. It's i

He also won a Sigerson with St Mary's, living with the now Tyrone Manager Malachy O'Rourke for a period

Charlie Smyth. From GAA to the NFL. Being Irish
It's been two months that's changed his life. In his first interview since making his debut in the NFL, Charlie Smyth discusses his breakthrough year. Doubts, not finishing the season in the way he hoped and what's next. At times, it's been lonely and there's the reality of when it goes wrong. The brilliance of Jude McAtamney dashed in an hour. The online abuse directed towards the Swatragh man at
Seamus Birt- Living with Motor Neuron & not afraid to die
Seamus Birt is a championship winning player and manager for Bellaghy in Co Derry. He's a year into a Motor Neuron disease diagnosis. The former corner back believes he had it a year before doctors confirmed the condition. Four years of life is the average. There are exceptions and the mindset of Seamus would suggest he might be just that. He's different. Father of Séamus Óg & Éamon, Stella hi

Cork V Tipperary- the preview starts now
Can Tipperary beat Cork? Can they really?
Niall McDonnell- winning Leinster & being a goalkeeper
This is a different but hugely honest insight into goalkeeping. The picture of the summer sits in Niall's living room- a first Leinster championship in more than 60 years- his photo summed it up. He'd like changes. Four points for a goal and believes goalkeepers should be allowed to take a return pass. Some agree, some don't. What is the culture in Louth- what can they go? Niall found out he was d
Tyrone v Kerry & Donegal v Meath. Shocks & champions gone
Croke Park delivered this weekend, but plenty to talk about
Joe Diver. Derry Midfielder. Alcoholic. Fighting back for life
This is a remarkable podcast. Joe Diver had the world at his feet. A beautiful wife, family, talented footballer, successful job and drinking a bottle of whiskey at 10am in the morning. Wild. Ultimately, alcoholism could have cost Joe his life. He turned it around, returned to University and is a mental health counsellor. He doesn't drink anymore and hasn't for some time. Helping people is what he

Kevin is the oldest person we’ve ever had on the podcast- and full of craic. Th

A massive weekend of action, reaction and Oisin pleads to the GAA - keep this format for the football championship
Mickey Niblock- being replaced by Pele At New York Cosmos. Derry, Cork, GAA, approaching 80 Total faith. Life
The surname probably gives it away. Yes related to Thomas, but if you're of a particular age- you will know of the exploits of Mickey Niblock. An All-Ireland winning minor and U21, Derry seniors flew him back to play for the team in the 70's, when New York was his home. The building sites of the Bronx was his home. Derry could win Ulster championships- but they couldn't beat Kerry. 50 years later

Aidan Walsh. Being let go. Winning an All-Ireland, moving to Kerry
Life after inter-county GAA takes a period of time to adjust. When your a Cork hurler and footballer you've dined in two hotels- both five star. Life has now brought Aidan Walsh to West Kerry. He transferred to the home of the O'Se's An Ghaeltacht and life is good. Love can do that sort of thing. A beautiful wee boy (yes-wearing a Kerry jersey) has changed perspective. Living in one of the most be

Dara Ó Cinnéide- All-Ireland winning Kerry captain. Turning 50. Life
Dara has turned 50- what does that mean? In this podcast we explore life in Kerry. A child star growing up- who made it! Now it's chairman of the club, helping out with the senior team, climbing mountains and digging into a very delicate question- what actually is Gaelic football, what does it say about us and what does it really mean? There's plenty of craic along the way, Kerry's chances in 2025
Galway-Mayo Clinker, Title 86 for Kerry- Skorts or strike?
What could have been for Mayo in a frantic Connacht final. They had their chances but Galway came through- led by the superb Paul Conroy and Cillian McDaid. There were others. Their reward is the group of death. As for Kerry, it was more straight forward in Killarney- but Kerry look really good. In the camogie Leinster semi-final, both Kilkenny and Dublin players wore 'shorts' not 'skorts' and the
Jimmy Barry Murphy. An icon, in Cork & beyond.
Jimmy Barry Murphy. One of the most successful GAA players of all-time. All-Ireland winning manager, the glory of Cork hurling and still involved at 70 years young.
