Two years ago this month, Tina Turner died at the age of 83 at her home in Switzerland. The global superstar and rock icon had a career spanning more than five decades. Although she retired from performing in her late 60s, one of her final projects was to collaborate on Tina: The Tina Turner Musical, which debuted in London's West End in 2018. This month the show comes to Dublin's Bord Gáis Energy Theatre for a two week run and in this episode Róisín Ingle speaks to some of the cast members, Jochebel Ohene MacCarthy who plays the role of Tina Turner and choreographer Simone Mistry Palmer. But first, Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O'Connoll is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week, including the camogie skorts row, the latest from the papal conclave and Prince Harry's recent security woes.

This episode of How To Fail was recorded in front of a live audience at Dublin's Bord Gáis Energy theatre. Emma Dabiri is a broadcaster, historian, and bestselling author whose work delves into the complexities of identity, culture, and race through art history and current affairs. She's now written a number of books - culture shifting works which are a radical re-imagining of what we consider to be beauty. Her first book was an Irish Times bestseller and inspired a conversation around race that led to change regulations in schools and in the British Army. It was later adapted into an award-winning documentary. She's a fellow in African studies at London, SOAS and is the mother of two boys. Over on Failing with Friends, Emma talks about advice for someone in the audience who feels their singleness is a failure; what success looks like; when to know when to stop fertility treatment, and Elizabeth and Emma's thoughts on Botox among other things!

It's All-Ireland final week and James Skehill and Paul Murphy are alongside Will O'Callaghan to look ahead to the clash of Kilkenny and four-in-a-row chasing Limerick. On this week's pod: (0:00): Wexford searching for a new manager after parting ways with Darragh Egan. Memories of All-Ireland preparations, thoughts on the teams not having traditional banquets in Dublin post-game. Skehill shocks us all with a well-delivered Father Ted reference on twitter. (27:00) - Limerick just ahead of the Cats in All-Ireland finals. Can we read much into the League final this season? David Blanchfield's injury. Does Declan Hannon come back in? (42:00) - Dan Morrissey's excellence at full-back, is he a hurler of the year contender? Will Mike Casey pick up the in-form Eoin Cody? Who should Mikey Butler mark? (57:00) - Your questions...Murphy's Waterford trip, Skehill's pint-carrying qualities, can Arsenal win the Premier League? GAA stars who are Gunners. The noise of an All-Ireland final is incomparable. Michael D impressed by Skehill's size. Limerick 20s v Kilkenny 00s. Predictions. Hurling, It's Anyone's Game.

All-Ireland winners Paul Murphy (eventually) and James Skehill joined Will O'Callaghan to take live questions and comments from The Hurling Pod community following the All-Ireland semi-finals after Limerick and Kilkenny set up a repeat of last season's decider. On this week's pod: (0:00) - Paul Murphy gets stuck in traffic, so James Skehill gets a chance to talk interrupted about how good Eoin Murphy's wonder save was. 'The best save I've ever seen'. (04:46) - Aaron Gillane is now the front-runner as hurler of the year, his incredible catch for the first goal. His positional sense is phenomenal. Galway were in such a strong position after half an hour. Retreating handed the initiative to Limerick. 'You can't try and take on Limerick at their own game'. (15:43) - Did Quaid slowing the match down make that much of a difference really? 'It wasn't the losing of the game for Galway. Galway's body language went down when Limerick started throwing the punches. Shefflin on how Limerick dominated the middle of the field. (33:46) - Fresh from his appearances on BBC, Virgin Media, and OTB across the weekend, four-time All-Star Paul Murphy joins the pod! 'I didn't even have the luxury to get changed'. Murph explains how he looked after Skehill on Saturday afternoon. Cian Lynch's involvement in the game and helping make Limerick tick. (45:07) - Clare went away from what's been effective for them by deploying a sweeper in the first half against Kilkenny. It's unfair to claim that Clare only rise their game against Limerick. 'Clare have been brilliant this year'. Should the advantage have been played to allow Rodgers to hit the net? Inconsistency in refereeing decisions. (58:00) - 'Get your pen ready Skehill, it's Mikey Butler watch time!'. Kilkenny All-Star again impresses on Tony Kelly. Who should Butler pick up in the final? Will Kilkenny use Huw Lawlor on Gillane? Eoin Cody in red-hot form. TJ Reid moves to the top of the All-Ireland scoring list. (01:12:00) - Knowing when to go long and when to go short with puck outs. The work teams do ahead of big games on restarts. The swear jar is overflowing in the Skehill house. (01:28:00) - TJ Reid could surpass Henry Shefflin as Kilkenny's greatest ever. 'He's the most talented player of my generation'. It's splitting hairs between TJ, Henry, and Shefflin. Will Lohan and Shefflin stay in their positions? Adrian Mullen's electric pink boots. Richie Hogan's cameo. Cillian Buckley's wedding on the eve of the final. Hurling, It's Anyone's Game.
