The Echo Sport Podcast crew is back to discuss another bumper weekend of Cork GAA action. Now in its fourth season, the podcast sees the Echo team discuss all the latest Cork GAA news on and off the field. In the wake of Sunday's Munster SHC final, Denis Hurley is joined by Barry O'Mahony and John Horgan. They assess what might have gone differently, both from a Cork point of view and in terms of the officiating of the game, and what effect it might have. Cork had only one wide but fell short of their opponents in terms of shots taken while the panellists discuss whether or not the bench could have been used more. Referee James Owens' performance came in for plenty of attention and John and Barry give their view as to how much of a factor that was, as well as acknowledging the brilliance of Limerick in bouncing back following last year's penalty shootout loss to Cork. In the wake of that defeat, Limerick were then eliminated by Dublin and that is a pitfall Cork must avoid as the reset and refocus before facing Offaly in the All-Ireland quarter-final. Also in action this weekend were the Cork minor footballers, who had an impressive win over Meath to reach a first Electric Ireland All-Ireland MFC semi-final in five years. Champions Derry await but it has been a hugely positive year for the team, with John rightly pointing out the impact of manager Keith Ricken, renowned as a top developer of young talent. The minor hurlers are in action this weekend, with Munster champions Tipperary lying in wait in the All-Ireland semi-final in Limerick. Donal Mulcahy's side have improved since a seven-point loss to the Premier County in the provincial round-robin and will be keen to show their wares with a final at stake. That game is on Saturday and so is the senior football round 2A meeting with Donegal in Ballybofey. Cork are massive outsiders against a side that put Kerry to the sword in Killarney but Barry O'Mahony feels that they have to approach this in a positive frame of mind despite the size of the challenge, with no thought given to a potential round 3 tie. Hopefully they will be in ‘flying' form. You can listen at htps://www.echolive.ie/podcast or wherever you get your podcasts. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Warum Deutsche Irland romantisierenGrüne Landschaften, gemütliche Pubs, traditionelle Musik und freundliche Menschen – für viele Deutsche ist Irland weit mehr als nur ein Urlaubsland. Die grüne Insel gilt oft als Sehnsuchtsort und Gegenmodell zum hektischen Alltag in Mitteleuropa.Doch warum eigentlich?In dieser Episode von A Bavarian Stranded in Ireland gehe ich der Frage nach, warum Irland in Deutschland häufig romantisiert wird und welche Faktoren dieses Bild geprägt haben.Wir sprechen unter anderem über:Die Rolle von Filmen, Büchern und Medien bei der Wahrnehmung IrlandsUrlaubserlebnisse entlang des Wild Atlantic Way und anderer spektakulärer LandschaftenDie besondere Faszination der irischen Pub- und MusikkulturDie Wahrnehmung der irischen Mentalität, Offenheit und HerzlichkeitWarum Irland für viele Menschen als entspannter Gegenentwurf zum Alltag in Deutschland erscheintDie Vorstellung eines einfacheren und entschleunigten Lebens auf der grünen InselAußerdem teile ich meine persönlichen Erfahrungen aus mittlerweile acht Jahren in Irland und beleuchte, welche dieser Vorstellungen sich bestätigt haben – und wo die Realität deutlich differenzierter aussieht.Denn auch Irland kennt steigende Lebenshaltungskosten, Wohnungsprobleme, Leistungsdruck im Berufsleben und lange, dunkle Wintermonate.Am Ende bleibt die Frage:Wie viel Romantik steckt im Irlandbild vieler Deutscher – und wie viel Realität?Fragen, Anregungen oder Themenvorschläge?Mehr vom Podcast & UpdatesInstagram, Facebook & Pinterest

Send us Fan MailA stranger walks up holding an old canoe book and says, “You signed this to my dad 35 years ago.” Minutes later, Kevin Callan signs it again for the next generation and the whole Hamilton Adventure Expo suddenly feels like a small world. That's where our livestream chat begins, and it sets the tone for a conversation about how canoe camping stories stick, how outdoor skills get passed along, and why community is the real reason these shows matter.We dig into Kevin's idea of “ultimate canoe routes” and why he opens his talk by saying the best trip is the next one. Then we get specific: Algonquin's Brent Run, a loop around Killarney, Lake Superior's Bustard Islands, Kejimkujik in Nova Scotia, and even Scotland's River Spey. If you're looking for canoe route inspiration, paddling trip planning ideas, or just a reminder that repeat trips can still feel brand new, this one delivers.We also go behind the scenes on outdoor writing and Canadian publishing. Kevin shares what it's like to hit 20 books, how rewarding it is when kids show up already excited about what they learned, and how printing and shipping across the Canada US border can turn sales into losses overnight. We talk honest numbers on royalties, why self-publishing can make sense, and the simple advice that matters most: write the book first.If you enjoy real talk about paddling, camping, and making a life around the outdoors, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves canoe trips, and leave a review so more Canadian campers can find the show.https://kevincallan.com/https://www.youtube.com/c/KCHappyCamperhttps://www.facebook.com/kevin.callan.311/https://www.instagram.com/kchappycamper/Support the showCONNECT WITH US AT SUPER GOOD CAMPING:Support the podcast & buy super cool SWAG: https://store.skgroupinc.com/super_good_camping/shop/homeEMAIL: hi@supergoodcamping.comWEBSITE: www.supergoodcamping.comYOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqFDJbFJyJ5Y-NHhFseENsQINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/super_good_camping/TWITTER: https://twitter.com/SuperGoodCampinFACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/groups/SuperGoodCamping/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@supergoodcampingSupport the show

Ireland's world-famous golf courses may top the bucket list, but some of the most memorable experiences happen well beyond the marquee names – especially when you pair great golf with Irish whiskey and local connection. This article is based on podcast episode 336 featuring David Hayes, owner of Dunes & Drams, a bespoke tour company with a focus on two of Ireland's most famous pasttimes: golf and whiskey.Use the player below to listen or scroll to continue reading the article and get resource links. Ireland Golf Trips Beyond the Big Names Ireland is packed with iconic courses—Ballybunion, Lahinch, Royal County Down—but building an entire trip around only those names can mean higher costs, tighter schedules, and less connection to the place you are. Why lesser-known Irish golf courses deserve a spot on your itinerary Blending a couple of marquee courses with smaller, lesser-known clubs creates a more balanced trip. These courses often sit in equally stunning locations, but with more flexibility, easier tee times, and a welcoming, local feel. Travelers might find themselves chatting with members in the clubhouse, sharing stories over a pint, or even playing alongside locals. That's where the experience shifts – from simply playing great golf to actually feeling part of the place. The local experience: golf as part of Irish community life At smaller clubs, golf isn't just a visitor activity, it's woven into daily life. You'll see regulars out for their weekly rounds, families involved in running the club, and a slower, more relaxed pace that invites you to linger. Instead of rushing from one course to the next, these experiences encourage travelers to: Spend time in the clubhouse Talk with locals about the area Enjoy the rhythm of the community For many visitors, this is the Ireland they came to find. Where to slow down: the northwest of Ireland For travelers looking to escape the busiest routes, the northwest—Donegal, Sligo, and Mayo—offers incredible golf with fewer crowds. This region delivers: Rugged coastal landscapes Classic links courses along the sea Quiet towns and villages perfect for unwinding Courses to explore include: Carne Golf Links (Mayo) Enniscrone Golf Club (Sligo) Narin & Portnoo (Donegal) Ballyliffin Golf Club (Donegal) Rosapenna Golf Resort (Donegal) Pair a round with a visit to nearby distilleries like Ardara Distillery, and you've got a day that blends scenery, sport, and Irish flavor. Southwest favorites (and a must-play splurge) The southwest is busier, but still worth visiting – especially with the right mix. A few standout options: Bantry Bay Golf Club: Scenic, relaxed, and often overlooked Clonakilty Golf Club: A quirky, local favorite with character Old Head Golf Links: A dramatic, bucket-list experience perched on cliffs above the Atlantic If choosing one splurge round, Old Head delivers unforgettable views from every hole. photo credit: Old Head Golf Links Why golf and Irish whiskey make the perfect pairing Ireland's whiskey industry has seen a major revival, with more than 50 distilleries now operating across the country. Like golf, whiskey is deeply tied to place and community: Distilleries often source barley from nearby farms Many are family-run or locally rooted Visitors can experience everything from tastings to hands-on blending Combining golf with whiskey experiences creates a more rounded trip—one that reflects Ireland's traditions and culture, not just its landscapes. Tailoring the trip for golfers and non-golfers Not everyone in a group needs to golf to enjoy the journey. While some hit the fairways, others can: Take a whiskey or gin cocktail class Visit local farms or food producers Explore nearby towns, shops, and coastal walks This flexibility makes Ireland an ideal destination for mixed-interest groups. Meet the Expert: David Hayes, Dunes & Drams David Hayes is the owner of Dunes & Drams, a tour company specializing in custom Irish itineraries that blend golf with whiskey and cultural experiences. David Hayes & the Dunes & Drams team His approach focuses on: Slowing down travel pace Mixing marquee and lesser-known golf courses Connecting travelers with local people and businesses Dunes & Drams offers curated itineraries as well as fully customized trips based on traveler interests.

What happens when the hardest part of running a pet care business isn't the pets—it's the scheduling, routing, and operational chaos behind the scenes? In this episode, Collin talks with the Pixelum team (Austin, Ian, and Joe) about why pet service businesses hit a "scaling wall," and how automated scheduling can remove mental fatigue and reduce missed opportunities. They unpack where AI helps (pattern recognition and workflows) and where it can be too risky (high-variance decisions like visit fulfillment). The conversation also explores tool fatigue, the hidden cost of switching between apps, and why great software should "take away" instead of "add." Finally, they connect systemization and data visibility to business continuity—making your company transferable, sustainable, and less dependent on you. Main topics: Automated scheduling and routing AI use cases and limits Tool fatigue and switching costs Data foundations and business intelligence Scaling, continuity, and transferability Main takeaway: "Good software solutions take away versus add." — Ian Leibovici That's the standard every pet care owner should measure new tools against. If the software adds more clicks, more dashboards, and more mental overhead, it's not solving the problem—it's relocating it. The goal isn't to become a better schedule-juggler; the goal is to spend more time doing the work only humans can do: caring well, building trust, and leading your team. The right tech should reduce tool switching, lower fatigue, and give you time back. If it doesn't remove burden, it's probably not the right fit. About our guests: Pixelum is a technology and operations-focused team working with service businesses to reduce operational overhead and improve systemization. In this episode, Austin Hanley (operator and point of contact), Ian Leibovici (Chief Innovation Officer and co-founder), and Joe (CEO and co-founder) share how they approach complex scheduling, routing, and process challenges in the pet care industry. They built Calio Pro to help pet service companies optimize schedules while keeping existing workflows intact. Their work emphasizes practical automation, stronger data foundations, and reducing tool fatigue for owners and teams. Joe Ganobsik, CEO and co-founder of Pixelum, has been building software and recruiting and leading technology teams for over a decade at some of the top startups in Silicon Valley. Joe has also founded several companies and consulting agencies, working across all facets of the business. He enjoys problem solving and driving growth via innovation. Joe loves to play golf in his free time. He lives in Chicago with his fiancée and two adorable Shih-poos, Guinness and Killarney. Ian Leibovici, Chief Innovation Officer and co-founder of Pixelum, is a strategic innovator with an entrepreneurial mindset. He has built and implemented solutions to many complex challenges across a variety of industries and is a seasoned experience designer and technical solutions architect. He has deep skills in research and testing with a focus on finding the best path to success. Ian loves to race cars and goes overlanding. He lives just north of Philly with his partner and lovable cats Minky, Mishka, Doppi, Squibbles and Susie. Austin Hanley, Business Development team lead at Pixelum, brings over a decade of sales and customer service experience in the financial publishing and hospitality industries. His background has shaped his interpersonal skills and strategic thinking, and he is passionate about helping small business owners solve problems through thoughtful, relationship-driven solutions.
