University of Galway have one last chance to secure championship silverware this season on Wednesday (5th March 2025) when they travel to University of Limerick in the All-Ireland intermediate hurling final. It's five weeks since they beat DCU 8-25 to 3-14 in the semi-final. Their juniors just missed out in their final last week while the seniors came up just short in the group stages of the Fitzgibbon Cup. University of Galway's manager is Barry Murphy and he's been sharing his thoughts to Galway Bay FM. == Throw-in at University of Limerick on Wednesday is 7pm.
We've a busy show this week, with our mailbag more flooded than Tallaght Stadium as we pore over the conspiracy theories, stadium rankings, and all the other events of the past seven days. Barry Murphy, drops by to discuss Ed McGinty's leaky European efforts and to a cast a broader eye over the main elements fuelling the start of a season where defences have been exposed to pressure from teams attacking on two fronts. The lads also hail Galway for subjecting Stephen Kenny's Saints to a stormy trip west and ruminate on the winds of change that are accompanying the League of Ireland's new popularity, even though Barry retains fond memories of his early Hooped days in the darkness. All of this weather beaten fun is brought to you outside of the mainstream media but in association with Future Ticketing, Rascals Brewing, Sport Cosanta and Collar & Cuff, and remember it's still early in the season!
Richie Towell, Rachel Graham, Barry Murphy and RTÉ Sport's Anthony Pyne join Raf Diallo. Carla Ward's Ireland is up for discussion as they look to build on the 1-0 over Turkey against Slovenia.

After a manic week, we've got a Monday show for you as Barry Murphy and Dave McMillan dial in to join Dan to review league, European and FAI Cup matters as most of the league takes a little breather ahead of the final stretch. Once again, it's a show packed with questions. Who wins the league now? Have Shels actually bottled it? Where now for Bohs? Can Drogheda win the cup? Where's Johnny? We do have the answer to one of those questions – our co-host is on a working trip to Kerry but he does send us a note to address the Galway not beating Dundalk sized elephant in the room. In addition to all of that we've got trivia teasers, Stephen Kenny's magic powers, UEFA cash chat and more, all with the help of Rascals Brewery, Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff and Lily's Childcare.

It's just after the final whistle in Iceland, and no, not the one Mum's go to, so we look at the game with old friend Barry Murphy who married his debs date and ain't happy with certain goalkeeping pundits. We've also got a Derry double act with Hoban and Higgins and Dan stops by from the semi to pose a perplexing quiz question. No Collar & Cuff mailbag this week because our announcer is too busy writing Bob Dylan's liner notes, but we do have the saves of the season so far, the Caoimhin Kelleher question, Stephen Kenny's rebuild from number 1 up, keepers and beauty queens, and how good is Ed McGinty? All served up with a hanky in your pocket by Collar and Cuff, Rascals Brewery, Future Ticketing and Lily's Childcare. It's episode 22 and it's under an hour.
Barry Murphy is an Irish comedy legend. Not only was he one of the geniuses behind the brilliance of Après Match but as a member of Mr Trellis he founded The Comedy Cellar in Dublin in 1989 AND he was recognised as one of The 10 Kings Of Irish Comedy over the last twenty years by Hot Press. He is also the only comedian to have played at every Kilkenny Cat Laughs festival since it started in 1994. So yeah, it's fair to say his legendary status is justified. In this week's episode Barry chats to Gareth and Gary about his beginnings in the comedy scene and how it's changed, his fond memories of Apres Match and the lads get into it about shallow frying. Enjoy!Don't forget to send in your questions for Gaz & Gary to answer in series 3 to Food@GoLoudNow.com

March of many weathers hasn't really lived up to its reputation and the constant rain has left sodden pitches countrywide for an Easter double header. While Duffer, once he gets out of Johnny's head, bemoans the state of said pitches, and threatens to produce his own "straight story" on his Da's ride on, there's a missing interview and a catch up with Jon Daly and Ruaidhri Higgins before we welcome Barry Murphy and his geometric geographical analysis of when a goalkeeper is not a goalkeeper and when 53 degrees north of the penalty spot isn't spot on. In the Collar & Cuff mailbag the lads discuss the biggest LOI crowd this century and explain why 'These Are Days' we'll remember even though 10,000 maniacs weren't in attendance and offer their take on O'Donnell and why Dundalk needed a UCD this season. As Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff and Rascals Brewery continue to nonchalantly sign off on this pod we also ask whats more relevant than a Damien Duff nothing story, what's it like to be a number 2, and what is Bob Dylan whispering to Johnny's unborn child. The Times they are a-Changin' but episode 8 is just more of the same.
Now that we've gotten our first week of games under the belt, we tackle the sophomore episode, which can be a bit troublesome but not this time. We have two recently retired league stalwarts in studio. Barry Murphy, once keeper of both Shamrock Rovers & Bohemian goals, trades his Dundrum mailbag to give the lads a hand with a Bohs-heavy Collar & Cuff mailbag; and David McMillan, formerly of Dundalk, UCD and Saint Pat's, now plying his trade as an architect and is not very good at "The Chase". Pizza sceptic, Johnny continues where he left off with goalkeepers last season, there's the cost of LOI tickets compared to Ice Cream bars, the pathway to football, boisterous train drinking, and who will be the top scorer this year? As always we tip our indoor hats to Future Ticketing, Collar & Cuff, and Rascals Brewery for feeding the machine, so go ahead and listen responsibly to this year's difficult second episode, Nevermind the Crooked Rain or The Bends... Everybody knows this is nowhere...
Jimmy Barry Murphy sat down with Eoin Sheahan and Tommy Rooney at The Cork Opera House during the Cork Podcast Festival last August. You can listen to the full interview now for free.
