In March, Paddy McBride lost his sister Marie to suicide. In his only sit down interview, Paddy reflects on the journey his family have travelled since the tragedy and the pragmatic steps to heal their lives. It's a stunning listen. Paddy is also one of the top players in Antrim. 12 years playing senior, under seven different mangement teams- the podcast explores the challenges the county faces. Recovering from broken fingers, he's back fit again and will play this weekend in the opening weekend of the Ulster championship against Armagh. Antrim are not expected to win- but Paddy does. The St John's player also explains his passion for Antrim, aspirations for the future and developing Gaelic Games within a big urban environment. There's laughs, craic and serious football talk. Another packed episode of the GAA social. It's a stunning listen and our appreciation to Paddy for being so honest.

Folge vom 30.03.2023Brendan Devenney- like you've never, ever, heard him before. Football, helping children, Tragedy, Donegal commentator and lifeThis is one of our best ever podcasts. Brendan Devenney led Donegal for years, but they couldn't get across the line- Armagh & Oisin were the main roadblock. However this podcast digs deeper into the life of Brendan Devenny. Success, failures, helping chirldren in Africa and beyond. It's an education into living life now- and not planning too much for the future. There's also tragedy. Brendan lost his father and sister within a day in 2022. Two coffins in one house. It's raw, it's funny, it's emotional, there's the rave scene and glow sticks, all after his first match as a commentator (not co-commentator) This is the life of Brendan Devenney- a brilliant man, a wonderful podcast.
