That's the one thing I think about the podcast. It's great and they obviously get great reactions to it but they need to remember too that fundamentally their listener base are Gaa fans so need to not forget that too.

It was a very moving and dignified podcast. Kevin comes across as such a decent human being and very loving father and friend. I thought it said a lot for how the GAA community rallies around at such tragic times, which I see locally as well. You just dont know what's ahead. Well done to Thomas and Oisin for their sensitivity in such a difficult podcast. They're good lads.

But all the podcasts are what the GAA is about, not just what happens on the pitch, which is covered each and every week.

End of Monday pod said they had a great one coming, one of their best yet, most powerful ever ... but hadn't recorded it yet. Saw the description and I'm sorry but I can't face it. God forbid Nibs gets a radio show

In context of the latest podcast with Kevin McElvanna... this is a sick response.

That's what I love about them. You learn about the actual person and their family behind the mask of the county star or manager.

From last week, I didn't know Ambrose Rodgers Snr was only 39 when he died and his son only 14. How hard must that have been?!

I don't think it's related, I think generally when listening to the radio talk shows, which I would while driving, its is a sense of wanting to hear grief, it sells better, people listen.

Any of those X factor and other shite shows they want to hear a back story and if there is some grief in it, they are thrusted to the stage!

Out of context, I thought the clip was very funny
None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought.

Reading the comments is totally related to that podcast and is reference to a discussion on it. Am saying no more bout it... the podcast was very dignified and appropriate.

The interview with Kevin was a hard listen, but I'm glad i listened to it.  It helps put into perspective what's really important in life and it doesn't do any harm to reflect on this from time to time. I hope it has given Kevin some small comfort in being able to open up like he did, and to share those lovely stories about his wife.
That's just, like your opinion man.

From listening to him speak I definitely think his profession helped him deal with the actual accident and immediate aftermath of it. He knew what the medical situation was and almost dealt with what was happening in a matter of fact kind of way. Obviously the grief he and his family are going through is a different matter to deal with.

I know that it's a running joke that Niblock always says that the next podcast is the most powerful ever but this week's really was.

I know what people are saying about his medical background helping Kevin cope with the situation and I'm sure in many ways it did but I'd imagine it would have been very tough heading off in a separate ambulance knowing what he knew about Ciara's injury.
Keep your pecker hard and your powder dry and the world will turn.

Good listen this week and thankfully a bit lighter with Pete McGrath. You'd know he's a school teacher, speaks very well.

WTF is Niblock at asking McGrath questions about never marrying and labouring the point unnecessarily, it's like 1950s tut tut watch out for the buck with no family and isn't an alcoholic.

Gary Linekers This is Football podcast the episode with Gazza is brilliant.
Hard to believe half of Gazzas stories but even if some aren't true they are hilarious to hear him tell.
Well worth a listen.
SHOCKING REVELATIONS!!!
