  • Top class

    I look forward to the podcast every week. Mick has been one of the best journalists in Ireland for well over a decade. I love his easygoing style of getting to the point. We are blessed to have such a balanced journalist when we see the nonsense in other countries. Keep it going and stay in by the wall

  • Not on the ball

    Great topics but not on the ball. Richard O Rawe said South Armagh IRA didnt trust Scappatici.

    That’s a fascinating statement but did Clifford ask why that was?

    Many other examples

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

THE YOUNG AND THE DAMNED: Eoin O’Malley
Q: How do you believe the state can help improve the situation with young people's work ethic?
The state's role is limited as it's about parenting; however, it can promote resilience and hard work through education.
THE YOUNG AND THE DAMNED: Eoin O’Malley
Q: What do you think is the reason behind the perceived entitlement of young people today?
There's a cultural shift where young people may feel the world owes them a living due to easier paths created in education and parenting.
MORE THAN A GAME: Michael Moynihan
Q: How does the payment of managers affect player dynamics?
It creates tension and resentment when players see managers earning money while they remain unpaid for their efforts.
MORE THAN A GAME: Michael Moynihan
Q: What prompted the financial arms race in club coaching within the GAA?
The financial arms race originated from a historic desire to improve club performance, where clubs believed paying for expertise would help them become more competitive.
THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE RIVALRY: Eoin O’Malley
Q: Did your family connection give you greater insight?
I might have been biased. I grew more in admiration of Haughey as I researched him, but it was hard to divorce myself from that influence.
