Don't mind Paddy. I think he adds good energy to any show he is on. Unfortunately I tend to watch OTB clips instead of pure audio and Paddy's verbosity does not always go well with JOD pulling at his ear waiting to get a word in.

Have to laugh at the "brother' absolute moron above calling Andrews a southsider!

It's incredible bad editing/management by Newstalk to continue to allow Andrews talk over his co-contributors. From the very start he did it to Andy Moran and he continues to do it to JOD. He is good, but easy to dislike as he's definitely not better than Andy/James but is allowed to bully the conversation. I'm sure it's not deliberate, he's just a motor mouth and the presenter (Tommy?) is useless.

I'm well aware he's a St. Brigid's man of blanch village / Cknock, if you re read my post I said he's a southsider the way he goes on

[Tubberman]

Yeah Andrews is an absolute dose, and I certainly won't be paying to listen to him.
I pay for SmallerFish during Championship, although the contributors tend to just agree with whatever Wooly says - he's generally insightful but tends to be like a dog with a bone at times.

Don't listen to OtB but might now if only to jump in on the Paddy Andrews hate.

I can see why people would take a dislike to Andrews but I had grown to just about tolerate him on the Football Pod. He was a good player in his own right but they way he goes on you'd think he was the main man in the 6 in a row team. I have to say though James O'Donohue is one of the best analysts I have heard this season across any podcast/television platform. Rooney is a decent host too.

GAA Social is totally different in that it has more of a 'This is your life' kind of vibe going on. Type of ones you can listen to at any time of year. But as pointed out they may start to struggle as they run out of top guests and every pod may not be 'the most powerful one yet' as Thomas likes to say. I do like their Monday one when they are talking about the weekends action sometimes more so than their guest one.

The Wooly one is good and I also subscribe during the county season but have it cancelled now for the rest of the year.

The Examiner pod is the best one around.

I subscribed for €10 which took me to the end of the county season which I thought was good value and I listened to all the pods. I would listen to the GAA social sometimes and they've some brilliant episodes. The Indo podcast is poor as is RTE's and the GAA hour.

I listened to the football pod and it was probably the 3rd behind Examiner and BBC but I'm not going to pay for it and I'm not giving Wooly any money. He's a dose!!

has otb stop uploading the daily morning show they put on to youtube and do you have to subscrbe now to listen to anything on there.

Not sure if it has already been mentioned but I'm enjoying The Kinahans by the Irish sun. I think I've 4 done. Coming from a place of limited knowledge, I have found it very interesting. At times it has been pretty heartbreaking too.

Yep - €10 a month

OTB end up clipping out the best bits anyways. Plus their analysis isn't exactly in depth at times.
Are Second Captains still flying. I listened to the radio show last Saturday and it was painful at times. The whole phoney accent and chuckles were a major turn off.
They still get great guests in fairness. Any fans here to say if they are gone off the boil?

Listening to the free state podcast  today,  ooh ah up the ra  part 2
there was a surreal disturbing moment when gobshite Fanning claimed  General Tom Barry was a psychopathic killer and Brolly either agreed or didn't feel the need to take him to task.

Wtf??  'Joe the pacifist' is getting himself tangled in knots of contradictions.

Simon Jordan's Upfront podcast is good, his most recent with Carl Frampton was excellent.

Oh i'll give this a go.  He can be right bell end a lot of the time but I still find him entertaining.

[Brendan]

What's the opinion on the 2 Johnnies, they seem to get a lot of unfair criticism on Facebook etc. They do a great job of promoting local GAA and trad music which has largely been forgotten by RTE

[screenexile]

A very subjective taste. They have an audience they cater to and do well... a bit like Mrs Browns boys very successful but not my particular cup of tea!
