Been listening to a podcast called crime in sports. 2 comedians take an athlete, some really well known some pretty obscure who have been involved in crime. They go through their career and crimes while ripping the piss outta everyone and everything in sight, over 200 episodes done, I started at the beginning and prob 3/4 the way through, some of the best ones are the unknowns. The wrestling ones all seem to be the craziest. Really can’t recommend it high enough

Was a brilliant listen. He’s had a tough life. Really enjoying all the GAA social ones. There was one a few weeks ago with Brendan Deveney which I thought was top class too.

Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is good for passing an hour in the week too. Joes anecdotes are very funny even if the legitimacy of them can be doubted sometimes. The Pat Gilroy one was great.

Anything talking about the underachieving donegal sides pre mcguinness is normally good entertainment.  Devenney said basically there was boys there who weren't going to play but were class craic on the beer so they held onto them lol

No you aren’t. That’s the sort of stuff that “sells” though nowadays.

I dont mind that if it's an interesting story.  It has been nice to see/hear a more personal side to some GAA stars.  I'm not sure the Francie one should have went ahead though. It sounds like it would be great to get an exclusive etc but i just felt for the lad having to endure something he clearly isnt comfortable with.

The Joe Brolly podcast has been off to a good start.  Joe has found a platform where he can ramble out all of his musings and wont really be cut off or challenged too much.

There are plenty of podcast apps like PlayerFM were you will find it for free yeah.  I listen to it on Spotify. It's called Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning.

I liked Francie's. He spoke better than I thought he was going to.

True enough. In fairness, Laochra Gael has went that way recently also.

Noticed this some time back. It's been getting far too dependant on trying to get guests with emotional back stories.

Such stories can be interesting but it just feels almost relentless with the GAA Social. Actual football chat seems a secondary concern a lot of the time.
