As 2020 puts on its coat and heads for the door, it leaves behind one story which has dwarfed all others this year - the Covid-19 pandemic. Many businesses and workers have been hit, and amongst the worst affected has been journalism. But while some of the ill effects have been down to the pandemic, many were simply magnifications of broken business models and mismanagement that still plague the media business. Ewan MacKenna joins me to discuss whether or not the Fourth Estate can ever recover.

My guests on this episode are two distinguished Irish sports writers - Kieran Cunningham, Chief Sports Writer at the Irish Daily Star in Dublin and Ewan MacKenna, Host of The Black Eye Podcast and Columnist for the Irish Independent News. We discussed the recent comments by Promoter Bob Arum about using alleged drug cartel boss Daniel Kinahan as his agent in United Arab Emirates to negotiate a potential deal for the Heavyweight unification fight between Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua. Additionally, we spoke about the origins of MTK Global and the chilling effect the shooting at a weigh-in at The Regency Hotel in Dublin has had on boxing in The Republic of Ireland.  Great conversation - I hope you enjoy.

What is his agenda? And how did he manage to write a book about Conor McGregor without a single word form the man himself? Find out all these things and more in this episode.
