Republic of Ireland captain Katie McCabe joins Colm Boohig in our most recent edition of Inner Drive, to take us through the journey from playing on the streets, to working five days a week in Nando’s, to Ballon d’Or nomination and a new chapter at Chelsea.
Katie chats about growing up a Chelsea fan thanks to Damian Duff, earning respect in boys’ football, getting the Arsenal call up, and the loneliness that can hit after moving abroad.
We also hear from people who know her best on leadership, standards, World Cup nights in Australia, that Canada goal, and why she’s determined to leave Irish women’s football in a better place

Returned from the World Cup, Irish hockey legend and Olympian Róisín Upton joined Rachel in the studio to recap the tournament, it's gruelling schedule and how we are closing the gap on the top teams.
Róisín is back playing hockey in Limerick where it all began, are there hopes for LA 2028?

It's Colm Boohig, Enda Coll, Dara Smith-Naughton & Matthew Brennan for some pure reaction after Como smashed Manchester United 4-1 - and the big question is simple: where do they go from here?

We get into whether Michael Carrick is finished, what happens next with Bournemouth (and a brutal run of fixtures), and why it feels like changing the manager is just kicking the can down the road...

Bruno Fernandes’ post-match comments take centre stage, with talk of “half-pressing”, players going rogue, and a dressing room that sounds toxic from top to bottom.

Is there any fix without ripping up the squad, and the culture... all over again?
