In this episode of Under Construction with Chadwicks, host Donncha O'Callaghan sits down with two Irish sporting stars who've dared to step outside the familiar—and into the unknown. Vikki Wall, Meath LGFA legend turned AFLW premiership winner with North Melbourne, and Mark Jackson, Wicklow's standout goalkeeper and NFL hopeful, join us to talk ambition, adaptability, and life beyond the GAA pitch. From kicking points in Croke Park to trialling for the NFL and switching codes to rugby sevens, these two have redefined what it means to chase your dreams. They open up about the pressure of elite sport, the culture shock of new systems abroad, and the personal sacrifices it takes to push boundaries and start over in a completely different sport.

In this episode of Under Construction with Chadwicks, host Donncha O'Callaghan is joined by content creator and DIY expert Jamie Duff and comedian Ryan Carrick—to explore a big question: have we lost the basic DIY skills of generations past? From converting horse trucks into tiny homes to learning everything from YouTube, Jamie represents the new wave of self-taught DIYers. Meanwhile, Ryan's curiosity (and lack of experience) brings a fresh perspective—and a few laughs. They dive into the gap in hands-on know-how among younger generations, how online learning is changing the game, and what it takes to actually start building, fixing, or renovating in 2025. Together, they explore whether it's a skills crisis or just a shift in how we learn—and prove that anyone can get stuck in (with or without knowing which end of the hammer to hold).

In this episode of Under Construction with Chadwicks, host Donncha O'Callaghan is joined by two legends of Gaelic games Dublin's Philly McMahon and Mayo's Keith Higgins —to discuss one of the game's biggest rivalries Dublin vs Mayo. From All-Ireland clashes to club battles, we're diving deep into the rivalries that have shaped the GAA. Philly and Keith know what it means to compete at the highest level—and how it feels to go head-to-head when everything's on the line. Philly opens up about Dublin's historic dominance, the pressure of sustaining success, and what it meant to clash with the likes of Mayo and Kerry year after year. Keith reflects on his unique journey as a dual star for Mayo in both football and hurling, and the heartbreak and pride that came with those epic encounters at Croke Park. Together, they discuss the culture, passion, and psychology behind great GAA rivalries—how they bring out the best (and sometimes the worst) in players, fans, and entire counties.

In this episode of Under Construction with Chadwicks, host Donncha O'Callaghan sits down with two icons of Irish comedy—Patrick McDonnell and Bernard O'Shea. As Father Ted marks its 30th anniversary this year and Naked Camera turns 20, we're celebrating the shows and characters that have defined a generation of Irish humour. Patrick takes us behind the scenes of playing the unforgettable Eoin McLove in Father Ted, and shares the madness of creating Naked Camera, one of Ireland's most outrageous comedy shows. Bernard reflects on his time writing and performing on Republic of Telly, the hit show that pushed boundaries and brought a new wave of comedy to Irish screens. Together, they explore how comedy has changed over the years—from TV classics to the world of social media—sharing stories from the road, the stage, and behind the camera.
