  • Podcasting Classic

    A show that has always provided authenticity and entertainment. Having listened to The MA Show for years now I have lost count of the number of episodes that are a genuine exploration into the strange, true and insightful with a continuously unpredictable and and diverse guest line up. The shows with Peter Doherty, Andy Nicholson & Irvine Welsh were particularly transformative for me much love MA x 🫡.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

[168] w/ Graham Linehan II
Q: How do you address your critics who say that you're pushing down on vulnerable people?
That's the way they frame it because they can't argue it in an honest way.
[168] w/ Graham Linehan II
Q: Do you think that you've come out the other side of it now?
I would do almost everything exactly the same.
[170] w/ Jesse Marsch

It's about both; great coaches can wear many hats and must create clarity in expectations and responsibilities.

There were personal and professional issues, and I felt alone there.
[170] w/ Jesse Marsch
Q: Would the Irish managerial job interest you?
