The How Is He Podcast

How Is He Podcast | Ep. 128 
Today’s guest is John Foskett. Someone with a story that could have gone very differently. He picked up drugs for the first time as a young child, went through addiction himself, and eventually found himself in residential treatment. But fast-forward over 12 years, and John Foskett is drug-free, and he’s taken those experiences and turned them into something positive. 
After being thrown out of school at just 15, John went on to get an education in UCC, build a career working in homeless services, start a family, and most recently, launch his own podcast, What Saves Me. 
And that’s really what John’s story is about, recovery, mental health, the battles that people often fight behind closed doors, and finding the things, the people and the reasons that keep us going. 
There’s no pretending that life is always easy, and John speaks openly about some very difficult experiences, but there’s also a huge amount of hope in his story. 
So today we’re going to get to know the man behind the podcast, the experiences that shaped him, what recovery has taught him, and ultimately, what saves John Foskett.

How Is He Podcast | Ep. 127 
Podge & Guich are joined today by someone who proves that, sometimes, the best careers are the ones you never actually planned for! Megan May. 
At 25 years of age and living in Kilkenny, Megan May started creating content around three years ago with one goal in mind. To become a musician. 
But somewhere along the way, the music took a back seat and the comedy, chaos and questionable life decisions took over! 
Fast forward three years and Megan has built a following of over 75,000 people across TikTok and Instagram, who tune in for the laughs, the relatable moments, the crazy nights out and, more often than not, the inevitable bad hangover the next morning! 
Her style is all about finding the humour in everyday situations, while keeping things real, and that's something that clearly connects with her audience. 
But behind the laughs and the social media numbers. Megan is very honest about the reality of trying to make a living as a content creator. The frustration of fakeness, favouritism, trying to find your place in the industry and figuring out how to actually turn followers into a sustainable career. 
And when she's not creating content, Megan works as a supervisor in a local theatre in Kilkenny, which, considering her life seems to involve a fair amount of drama, its probably the perfect job! 
And now she's looking to get back to where it all started, music, while continuing to see just how far this crazy content-creating journey can take her. 
So today we're going to talk social media, comedy, nights out, the reality behind the followers, the good, the bad, the fake side of the industry, music, and of course, some of those questionable life decisions!

How Is He Podcast | Ep. 126 
Podge & Guich are joined today by someone who has spent years working behind the scenes and on the front lines of sport, fitness and high-performance environments. Helping athletes, teams and organisations perform at their very best. Alan Malone.
He’s worked across a seriously impressive list of teams, including Laois, the Carlow Hurlers, Longford Footballers, Meath Ladies Footballers and Wexford FC Women, and he’s currently working with the Wexford Men’s Footballers.
But his experience goes way beyond the sideline.
Alan has held roles including Sport Scholarship Officer with SETU Waterford, Operations Manager with the Camogie Association and Manager at the National Indoor Arena. He’s currently Registrar of REPs Ireland, the Register of Exercise Professionals, while you might also spot him behind the scenes helping with match-day production in Croke Park.
Academically, Alan has a Degree in Sports Management and Recreation from SETU Waterford, along with a Masters in Strength and Conditioning from SETU Carlow.
So whether it’s strength and conditioning, sporting operations, governance, event management or creating the right environment for people to perform, Alan has pretty much covered it.
And today, the lads are going to find out what goes on behind the scenes of elite sport, the people, and experiences that have shaped his career.
