This podcast started with Richie Power & his amazing career. 12 inter-county All-Irelands, double All-star, an All-Ireland with his club & coming from a family of hurling royalty.

It's a powerful podcast with fun moments and the harsh reality faced by many in society, who suffer from addiction. Richie Power, legend, father, All-Ireland winner, Allstar, addict. This is his story.
