Just wondering what everyone's favourite podcasts would be. I'd be relatively new to the podcast scene and I think there brilliant. farneygael (Monaghan) - Posts: 296 - 11/05/2022 19:58:05 2416602 Link 1 |
In 2017 to celebrate the 60th anniversary of Louth last winning the All Ireland, Colm Corrigian who works on LMFMs sportshow brought a podcast called when Sam crossed the Boyne. It is very good. Well worth a listen.

The Hurling Pod on Off The Ball is really good. The depth of analysis on this is by far the deepest of any show and they properly analyse setups, stats and look for reasons why teams win games. StoreysTash (Wexford) - Posts: 1785 - 12/05/2022 12:49:52 2416674 Link 1 |
Smaller Fish, Wooly Parkinson's show. It's €6.10 a month though but worth it for me. The Examiner podcasts are good, separate ones for football and hurling. Good banter on the hurling with Anthony Daly. Oisín McConville ón Football, can sound deceptively dour but a witty man. Ah Ref mostly Mayo stuff, a nice bit of craic. Unfortunately Tomás O'Sé not doing pod these days but had a very good one interviewing various players and coaches. Comhrá le Tomás. Darren O'Sullivan presenting the GAA Hour now is fairly good. Someone here recommended The GAA Social. Only heard a small bit but very good. Lovely Hurling I think has finished with Anthony Nash and Dan Shanahan. Good craic too. The Advertiser GAA Podcast is very good. 2 sound men talking about GAA news in Galway and Mayo.

A hurlers life is well worth a listen. Interesting to hear the 6 best players each guest has played with. For example the two forwards J Tyrell picked as Eoin Larkin and Eoin Kelly (St Keirans) - which was a big surpise given the whole host of names he left out.Have enjoyed every episode so far. tiobraid (Tipperary) - Posts: 4119 - 12/05/2022 15:25:27 2416717 Link 1 |
OTB one with James O'Donoghue and Paddy Andrews is very good Ros13 (Roscommon) - Posts: 116 - 12/05/2022 15:34:03 2416721 Link 1 |
They are good when talking about their own counties but once they start talking about something else their lack of knowledge and research is shown up. Can't stand Parkinson, he doesn't even have the voice for a podcast, not sure how he became so popular and that people are willing to pay for his content now.

If all these podcasts were free I wouldn't listen to any of them. johnocarroll17 (Limerick) - Posts: 408 - 12/05/2022 17:02:51 2416749 Link 2 |

Our Game with Shane Stapleton and Michael Verney is good. FoolsGold (Cavan) - Posts: 2824 - 12/05/2022 17:40:39 2416756 Link 2 |
I have to admit I like Dalos podcast. OK so it's a bit lightweight as regards hurling content but it's a good listen when you are all day in a workshop by yourself. Viking66 (Wexford) - Posts: 13862 - 12/05/2022 17:46:14 2416759 Link 1 |
RTÉ in general is just poor. I actually turned off the Sunday Game because the analysis was so poor. Davy cutting across the groom Jackie Tyrell and saying 'Can I ask you a question'. It was like something out of school.

I hear you about Parkinson he divides opinions. Definitely not everyone's cup of tea and. He gave up a job in finance to do a masters in Journalism so I admire him for having the balls to do that and then split from Off the Ball, then SportsJoe to go out on his own. He has a few bits of shows on his podcasts and does tend to get into a rant the odd time but it's rarely boring. Seems to know every GAA person out there has some great co-presenters and guests. I think a lot of GAA podcasts are boring in comparison. I'll stop being his sale rep now but I won't be buying the merch!

He's set himself up with a certain persona over lockdown and ironically he has lots of sheep following him despite considering himself a "critical thinker" or whatever. GAA Gemma is a very accurate label considering some of his deeply unpleasant tweets

I dip in amd out of some of them but the GAA Social on BBC is my staple. Good analysis and insights and a good variety across guests and topics. peiledoir20 (Donegal) - Posts: 1036 - 12/05/2022 18:27:48 2416774 Link 1 |
Imagine if you went to matches and the atmosphere there was like Sunday Game or the RTE podcast? No-one losing the rag over the ref's decision, no one effin or blinding and minding their Ps and Qs, no-one roaring at their team to go out and knock the other lads into the middle of next week, etc, etc. You'd need an earpiece to ask what you can say in polite company. Sunday Sport on the radio is a bit better but the RTE TV and podcast is too sane, politically correct and boring to watch to listen to regularly.

I like hurling and know very little about it. The lads on that podcast have a nice bit of banter, don't take themselves too seriously and Mark Landers sounds like he's some craic.

I think its very poor in relation to others, the GAA social with in particular.

Said it elsewhere, but Andrews is a pure dose, who will just not shut up when someone else is talking. It's overall a good pod, but like someone else said, when they get away from their own or the main top teams, their knowledge is sorely lacking. My own fault I suppose in still listening, but still a good pod, I just want to shout when Andrews keeps butting in with rubbish

Dalos podcast is hugely entertaining. There is plenty of very good analysis but its also laid back fun and banter. daveboy (Limerick) - Posts: 1197 - 13/05/2022 11:40:29 2416837 Link 1 |
