In this episode of Under Construction with Chadwicks, host Donncha O'Callaghan welcomes two of the West's funniest voices—Alan Clarke and Owen Colgan. Alan, a Mayo-born content creator, podcaster, and author with over 200k followers, has gone from the carpentry trade to DJing to hosting the Big News Podcast. Owen, star of The Hardy Bucks, has carved out a career in stand-up and podcasting while sharing his trademark humour about rural life, masculinity, and a touch of DIY on the farm. Together, Alan and Owen open up about: Growing up in the West and what makes it such a unique cultural hub. The shift from trades and tools to comedy and cameras. The rise of podcasting in Ireland—and how to keep an audience engaged. Whether making content for the algorithm or the craic is really the secret. This episode dives into comedy, chaos, and plenty of craic as two of Mayo's best storytellers share their journeys. Follow Chadwicks, Donncha, and the Guests:

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.     Follow Chadwicks, Donncha, and the Guests:

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.
