Must say I really do enjoy Brolly and Fanning's podcast. Some great guests and interesting topics.

He hasn't missed on calling out Biden and the rest of the 'west' on genocide in Gaza... does the research too

I listen to the podcast on occasion also and the politics content is excellent. Really good listen.
The GAA content on the other hand is just ideological waffle. It's just Brolly with his made up stories (usually designed to make him look like the hero) and Dion unable to challenge anything as he's clueless.

I get the concept of the podcast, but Brolly is overly patronising in trying to explain 'the north'.

The podcast with Aaron Edwards would have been far better off with Dion trying to ask the questions from a 'free state' perspective but instead we have wee Joe unnecessarily inserting himself into the discussion to talk about everything he's done, everything his family has done, and his perspective - we already know all of that stuff.

Ruined something that could and should have been exceptional.

Although Fanning's father Aengus played for Kerry, his sons are unfortunately clueless about GAA. They grew up in a D4 bubble and soccer and rugby are their sports.
