Back in May of 2019 - eight months after he retired from presenting the Sunday Game, Michael Lyster joined Ger Gilroy and Eoin Sheahan in studio for OTB Breakfast, to reflect on his broadcasting career, his health at the time, and his love of rallying.

Colm O'Rourke joins John Duggan to reminisce on the career and life of former 'The Sunday Game' host, Michael Lyster, who died today at the age of 71.

Alongside Joe Brolly and Pat Spillane, Colm was part of the regular 'punditry trio' on The Sunday Game, where Lyster provided the perfect host to referee arguments and spark debates.

He will be dearly missed as a colleague and a friend, says O'Rourke.

All-Ireland winners James Skehill and Paul Murphy joined Will O'Callaghan for a live edition of The Hurling Pod reviewing the last night of the Hurling League.

Holders Cork and Limerick will meet at the Gaelic Grounds in Division One A final, but not everyone's happy that it's a double header with the One B decider.

Dublin sealed promotion to the top-flight, and the lads tackled a wide variety of questions from the live audience on YouTube and Facebook!
