Aidan Walsh. Being let go. Winning an All-Ireland, moving to Kerry
Life after inter-county GAA takes a period of time to adjust. When your a Cork hurler and footballer you've dined in two hotels- both five star. Life has now brought Aidan Walsh to West Kerry. He transferred to the home of the O'Se's An Ghaeltacht and life is good. Love can do that sort of thing. A beautiful wee boy (yes-wearing a Kerry jersey) has changed perspective. Living in one of the most beautiful places in Ireland- but he can't speak the language. In this podcast we discuss being dropped at 30, why Aidan struggles to go and watch Cork Hurlers but believes (and hopes) they will win the All-Ireland this year. He also makes Patrick Horgan's hurleys- his is a bit different. It's a great catch-up with an All-Ireland winning footballer, a gifted hurler and a man who is at home in Kerry-but always Cork.

Dara Ó Cinnéide- All-Ireland winning Kerry captain. Turning 50. Life
Dara has turned 50- what does that mean? In this podcast we explore life in Kerry. A child star growing up- who made it! Now it's chairman of the club, helping out with the senior team, climbing mountains and digging into a very delicate question- what actually is Gaelic football, what does it say about us and what does it really mean? There's plenty of craic along the way, Kerry's chances in 2025, losing out to Oisin's Armagh in 2002, working in media and an insight into the great Páidí Ó Sé. Apart from anything else, this man has one of the greatest voices in broadcasting- and what a footballer too.

Galway-Mayo Clinker, Title 86 for Kerry- Skorts or strike?
What could have been for Mayo in a frantic Connacht final. They had their chances but Galway came through- led by the superb Paul Conroy and Cillian McDaid. There were others. Their reward is the group of death. As for Kerry, it was more straight forward in Killarney- but Kerry look really good. In the camogie Leinster semi-final, both Kilkenny and Dublin players wore 'shorts' not 'skorts' and the game was almost abandoned. The game eventually took place, after the players changed into skorts. Are we looking at strike action next?
