  • Sniffing

    Oh my god the sniffing throughout is desperate - for an RTE podcast it is very amateur

  • Same same same

    Just whining and whingeing (except of course for the Munster Hurling, heaven forbid!) - too much media commentary on sport these days, feeding the beast and making a living from it at the same time. Best avoided.

  • Stop interrupting

    If Rory could reduce interrupting people to maybe 5 times in a half hour pod will be much improved

  • Annoying Sound & annoying sounds!!

    Very enjoyable & insightful Podcast, but the sound quality is awful at times. Too high, too low, muffled or an echo.

    Then to make matters worse someone is banging away on a keyboard during every episode while people are talking & it sounds like someone sucking on a Vape all the time too!

    Poor production overall for national broadcaster. Can do better.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

All-Ireland football final preview: Donegal's Clifford conundrum
Q: What are Kerry's plans for tackling Michael Murphy?
Eamonn suggests that Kerry has several options to defend against Michael Murphy, including Jason Foley and Dylan Casey, though it's complicated by the need to maintain a defensive structure.
The Championship: Damian Dawlor and Co preview the hurling final
Q: Niall Moran, are they the Cork full forward line versus the Tip Erie full back line?
Yes, Cork's early start is critical, and they need to stop that to succeed.
Dublin lay down marker in Derry | Paudie as key a Clifford for Kingdom
Q: Can I ask you, though, Lee, right? Terry also didn't have some of those key players.
There is still a significant gap between Dublin and Derry, regardless of players missing.
Bumper football weekend | Hurling semi-final spots on offer
Q: Do you think inter-county careers are going to be longer or shorter as a result of this new calendar?
I think the calendar is wrong, if that answers your question. I think the club season should be longer.
Bumper football weekend | Hurling semi-final spots on offer
Q: Ryan, can I ask you a question? I mean, you had one of the longest Inter-County career. How long did you play Inter-County football for?
At the moment, my body is probably telling me longer than what it was. But anyway, it's probably been 18, 19 years.
