The How Is He Podcast | Ep. [Insert Episode 64🎙️ With your hosts Podge & Poppa – live (and slightly nervous) in the Ampifi Studio!This week, we’re flipping the script a bit – and handing over the mic to none other than Paddy Carroll of Ampifi Studios. He’s asking the questions… and we have no idea what’s coming. 😅Armed with a mix of listener questions and whatever pops out of Paddy’s beautiful but mildly dangerous mind, we’re bracing ourselves for a wild one.We chat about how we’ve made it this far (spoiler: we bluffed it) and what’s coming down the line for the podcast – as well as important topics like... where are we going on our next holiday? ✈️🌞It’s unscripted, unfiltered, and very us.

The How Is He Podcast | Ep. 62🎙️ With your hosts Podge & Poppa – from the Ampifi Studio!This week, we’ve got a referee in the studio – so no shouting at the telly for an hour, alright? 😂We’re joined by the legendary Michael Walsh, a man with over 50 years of soccer experience under his belt. From his early days as a player (before a back injury cut things short), to becoming one of the most respected referees in junior football, Michael has done it all – and then some.He’s reffed FAI Junior Cup games, Oscar Traynor matches, and was a driving force behind Carlow’s referee training, growing the ranks from just 7 officials in 1993 to 26 by 1996. 🙌He later became a referee observer and assessor for 25 years before joining the Carlow & District League executive committee – and just last week, he was honoured with a Lifetime Achievement Award. 👏It’s a rare (and very welcome) treat to hear things from the referee’s side – and not just us giving out about them for once! A brilliant chat full of stories, insights, and a look at the man behind the whistle.🔔 Like, comment & subscribe – or we’ll book you for dissent. 😄#HowIsHePodcast #AmpifiStudio #MichaelWalsh #CarlowSoccer #IrishFootball #JuniorSoccer #RefereeLife #FAIJuniorCup #OscarTraynor #LifetimeAchievement #PodgeAndPoppa #RespectTheRef
