  • Best show on Irish radio

    This used to be the best sports show of the week on Irish radio / Podcast. They had legit journalists on discussing / critiquing other journalists’ work, covering a wide range of topics.

    Now they just get on a collection of little known former sports people and lesser journalists who just talk over each other while giving their own “hot take” opinions on rugby, EPL and GAA. There are countless alternative shows that do the same, but better (and for free).

  • Over-concentration of sports writers

    Shows is very good but has an over representation and recycling of same guests, I.e. sports journalist. Non-media people can read and opine on sports pages too !
