Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

The Second Half: Presented by Podge & Popa (Bonus Episode 29)
Q: Do you think the league could do more to help prevent clubs from folding when clubs present concerns at formation meetings?
The guests discuss that while the league can provide guidance, funding, and development support, preventing clubs from folding largely depends on stable player retention and numbers; the league can facilitate, guide, and offer resources but cannot guarantee players stay or sign for every club. A structured minimum registration and proactive development support could help, but there are case-by-case challenges that require targeted solutions.
How Is He Podcast Episode 100 w/ Eric Lalor and Willa White (Top Irish Comedians)
Q: What is the vision for the podcast and how has the format evolved?
The hosts discuss growing listenership, keeping the show informal and authentic, occasional solo episodes, and weaving in big name guests with long‑standing friends, all while maintaining a strong local Irish identity.
How Is He Podcast Episode 100 w/ Eric Lalor and Willa White (Top Irish Comedians)
Q: Eric, talk to me about writing for television.
Eric explains how stand‑up opened doors into TV, writing for Republic of Telly, and the contrast between writing for presenters versus writing for his own stand‑up material; he notes the challenges of TV writers' room decisions and the differences between on‑camera writing and stage performance.
How Is He Podcast Episode 98 w/ Bernard Jackman (Irish International & European Cup Rugby, Coaching)
Q: What was the biggest challenge when moving between provinces and pursuing an Ireland cap?
The navigation of moving between Connacht, Leinster, Munster, and the role of RFU rules and politics, plus the decision to chase Ireland by choosing Connacht to improve his national opportunities.
How Is He Podcast Episode 98 w/ Bernard Jackman (Irish International & European Cup Rugby, Coaching)
Q: Tell us about your first steps into professional rugby and how the sport changed.
He recalls the amateur-to-professional transition, his first contract, and the shifting expectations around training, nutrition, and recovery as rugby moved towards professionalism.
