Join us for an insightful discussion with Sharon Reed, host of the Sharon Reed Podcast, and LEO SMITH, CEO of Engaged Futures, as we explore the future of the BLACK VOTE in the 2024 election and beyond. Historically, AFRICAN AMERICANS have strongly supported the DEMOCRATIC PARTY, but this election cycle reveals a surprising trend: Trump is polling better among BLACK VOTERS, especially men, than any past Republican nominee, even with VP Kamala Harris on the ticket. What factors have contributed to this shift, and could this become a reliable trend for Republicans in the future? We'll also examine the potential impact of lenient IMMIGRATION LAWS—could they result in HISPANICS surpassing AFRICAN AMERICANS as the second-largest voting bloc? What political strategies should the African American community consider to navigate the identity politics that both parties employ concerning the BLACK VOTE? MENTAL DIALOGUE is here to ask the tough questions that America often shies away from. ALL I ASK IS THAT YOU THINK. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/montoya-smith/support

"This room wants more. After everything goes dark, a rusted voice reveals its wishes."
Special guests LEO SMITH, CEO at Engaged Futures, and BROTHER ANHK of the Pseudo Killas join us to discuss why AFRICAN AMERICAN parents are the leading group deciding to HOMESCHOOL their children since the pandemic. Are BLACK PARENTS turning to HOMESCHOOLING with concerns about the WHITEWASHING of history in public schools or the indoctrination into WOKENESS/GENDER IDENTITY? Are BLACK STUDENTS still being mislabeled as troublemakers or into special education at high rates? What are the risks associated with HOMESCHOOLING? If there are great public/private schools in your area is HOMESCHOOLING a better or riskier option? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.

As the Department of Justice announces their intent to investigate the Fulton County Jail after a September 2022 death of a mentally ill man in its custody, we learn earlier this week a 19-year old woman held on misdemeanor (you read that right) charges since late May died in custody and under Fulton Sheriff's Department watch. In other news, another lawsuit slapped on UGA in the wake of the deadly January crash that killed two, and the school and athletic department's reaction to it and to allegations of providing cover to football players accused of sexual misconduct leaves a lot to be desired. Most of today, however, I spoke with GOP political consultant Leo Smith, who reached out and wanted to talk "school vouchers" and Mesha Mainor's move from the Democratic to Republican parties. It's a doozie.
On last week's show, Hunter spoke with Babatunde Aremu and demonstrated the ways in which a Public Defender Office could be unionized without causing strife between leadership and line public defenders. Unfortunately today's episode demonstrates the worst possible scenario for a unionization effort. Hunter sat down with Cat Vining and Morgan King, line public defenders in the Louisville Metro Public Defender Office, to discuss why they unionized and the incredible efforts that leadership took to make sure the union would be crushed. Unlike the rest of the state, Louisville Public Defense historically existed outside of the control of the Depart of Public Advocacy, but when the office decided to unionize, the powers that be stepped in to make a change. Despite the Governor vetoing the bill that would bring the office into the state system (while also calling out the legislation as retribution), the Louisville Metro Public Defender Office now sits on the precipice of a quick, ill planned ascension into the state system. So what comes next for those who rely on the services of the Louisville Metro Public Defender?

Mentre un po' per volta continua il nostro work in progress di ricostruzione cronologica della carriera di Wadada Leo Smith, dedichiamo una puntata extra al suo album più recente, Fire Illuminations: Wadada lo ha ha appena pubblicato - solo in digitale - con la Kabell, l'etichetta personale con cui mezzo secolo fa il trombettista fece uscire i primi album a suo nome. Il 5 e 6 maggio Waddada Leo Smith sarà al festival Angelica, a Bologna, per le sue prime due (e per il momento uniche) date europee dopo il covid: a ottantun anni, Wadada è in piena attività e ad alto livello, come testimonia già il tenore della formazione impegnata in questo album, denominata Orange Wave Electric: Nels Cline, Brandon Ross e Lamar Smith alle chitarre elettriche, Bill Laswell e Melvin Gibbs ai bassi elettrici, Pheeroan AkLaff alla batteria, Mauro Refosco alle percussioni, Hardedge all'elettronica. Album autorevole e lucido, Fire Illuminations sta dalle parti del Wadada Leo Smith le cui radici artistiche affondano nel blues del Delta e poi affascinato dal Miles Davis elettrico: è il prodotto di una serie di sedute di incisione condotte con diverse configurazioni della formazione, e di un intenso lavoro di post-produzione, il tutto nell'arco di quattro anni. Fire Illuminations è la prima di diverse uscite di Leo Smith previste per il 2023. Uno dei brani dell'album è dedicato al grande Tony Williams, due portano nel titolo Muhammad Ali: "Muhammad Ali's Spiritual Horizon" e "Muhammad Ali and George Foreman's Rumble in Zaire Africa".
Today I'm joined by Leo Smith, aka Lando Steezy. I first saw Leo on Instagram a year or so ago and was blown away by his style on the bike. Fast forward to now and he's making waves in the bike industry, especially after signing for Nukeproof and his recent film for Shimano. Leo is providing a role model for many people who up until now, didn't see mountain biking as somewhere that they fit in. We chat about the responsibility that comes with that and find out more about Leo and how he got to where he is now. Hear about where he grew up and how bikes, music and photography came to be some important to him. Leo is part of an exciting group of riders who are bringing new styles, techniques and approaches to everything mountain bike and I'm super excited to see where it all goes. So sit back, hit play and listen to this episode with Lando Steezy. You can watch this episode on my YouTube channel here.

Pod 53: Y Seintiau Newydd, Cwpan Cymru ac Ewrop gyda Leo Smith Ymosodwr y Seintiau Newydd, Leo Smith sy'n ymuno â Sioned Dafydd ac Ifan Gwilym i drafod Rownd Gyn-derfynol Cwpan Cymru, gobeithion y Seintiau yn Ewrop a bwrw golwg ar rhai o'i gyn-glybiau. The New Saints forward Leo Smith joins Sioned Dafydd and Ifan Gwilym to discuss the Welsh Cup semi-final, TNS' European aspirations and keeping tabs on his former clubs.
Nel gennaio dell'81, prima di tornare in Europa per lavorare nuovamente in trio (come abbiamo visto nella puntata precedente) con Peter Kowald e Gunter Sommer, Leo Smith partecipa ad una registrazione in Connecticut con una compagine orchestrale; si tratta di un terzo importante capitolo delle sue esperienze orchestrali di questa fase, dopo la partecipazione alla Creative Orchestra diretta da Braxton nel '78 e la direzione da parte dello stesso Smith di un'altra Creative Orchestra nel '79: l'album esce intestato a Creative Improvisors Orchestra, col titolo The Sky Cries The Blues. Nell'81 la pubblicazione da parte dell'editore Nistri Lischi di Pisa, col titolo Note sulla natura della musica, dei testi di Leo Smith pubblicati negli Stati uniti nel '73 col titolo Creative Music, più altri testi scritti fino al '79, consolida in Italia lo status di Leo Smith come figura emblematica dell'improvvisazione e della musica appunto "creativa". Intanto in questo periodo Smith è protagonista di una espansione della sua estetica che non coincide con la sua immagine di improvvisatore puro e duro: in alcuni suoi album Smith si richiama al blues quando non addirittura al reggae - Smith guarda non superficialmente alla cultura rastafariana ed è molto legato alla figura di Bob Marley - ed è in questo senso in sintonia con il concetto di Great Black Music caro all'Art Ensemble of Chicago. Degli assaggi di questa espansione in direzione blues si trovano in Procession of the Great Ancestry, registrato nell'83 ma pubblicato diversi anni dopo, nell'89.

Per tutta una fase i protagonisti della produzione della Fmp, etichetta - nata alla fine degli anni sessanta - di riferimento dell'improvvisazione tedesca ed europea, erano stati improvvisatori tedesco-occidentali, olandesi, inglesi, scandinavi e svizzeri. Il primo allargamento di orizzonti era avvenuto all'interno dell'area tedesca, con pionieristici contatti con improvvisatori tedesco-orientali, fra i quali Sommer. Il trio Smith-Kowald-Sommer testimonia di questo e di un ulteriore allargamento, cioè il dialogo della Fmp e dei suoi improvvisatori con i più avanzati improvvisatori afroamericani: Leo Smith è un battistrada di questo dialogo, che avrà poi importanti sviluppi nel lavoro della Fmp (che negli anni ottanta stabilirà un importante rapporto con Cecil Taylor). Intanto al principio degli anni ottanta Leo Smith attira l'interesse anche del produttore Giovanni Bonandrini, attivo a Milano (negli anni ottanta viene più volte proclamato produttore dell'anno dal referendum della rivista di jazz americana Down Beat), che nell'82 pubblica Go in Numbers, live del quartetto di Smith registrato a New York nel gennaio del 1989.

Fra i nuovi rapporti che Leo Smith allaccia col suo trasferimento in Connecticut, c'è anche il musicista bianco Bobby Naughton, pianista e organista che negli anni sessanta era rimasto folgorato dal free jazz ed era passato al vibrafono, e nei primi anni settanta si era fatto vivo con Leo Smith. Nel '76 Smith, Naughton e altri musicisti danno vita al Creative Music Improviser's Forum, che riprende il modello della AACM di Chicago e che fino all'84 organizza concerti di musica creativa in Connecticut. Alla metà dei settanta Naughton concepisce un album in trio, senza batteria, con l'obiettivo di suonare musica che non fosse basata su un ritmo stabile ed esplicito. Naughton compone la musica al pianoforte, la prova separatamente con Smith e col clarinettista Perry Robinson e il trio si riunisce però per la prima volta solo in studio al momento della registrazione, nell'aprile del '76. L'album, intitolato The Haunt, e cointestato ai tre musicisti, è un significativo esempio di combinazione di composizione e improvvisazione, ed è tra le incisioni più originali realizzate nel jazz d'avanguardia nella seconda metà dei settanta. Nell'agosto del '76 Leo Smith torna ad incidere un album personale - il suo terzo - con un organico più ampio di New Dalta Akhri, comprendente, oltre ad Anthony Davis al piano e a Wes Brown al contrabbasso, anche il sassofonista Oliver Lake e il ventunenne betterista Pheeroan Ak Laaf: l'album esce per l'etichetta di Smith, la Kabell, col titolo Song of Humanity.

Dopo il ritorno nel '70 da Parigi, le strade di Leo Smith e Anthony Braxton si erano separate. Nell'ottobre del '74 però Smith è di nuovo in studio di incisione con Braxton, per un brano in trio con Richard Teitelbaum (negli anni sessanta a Roma uno degli animatori di Musica Elettronica Viva) che viene pubblicato nell'album di Braxton Trio and Duet. Nel febbraio del '76 poi Smith è di nuovo con Anthony Braxton per l'incisione dell'album di Braxton Creative Music Orchestra 1976; la formazione è molto ampia, oltre venti musicisti, e qualificatissima, praticamente una all stars (fra i componenti Roscoe Mitchell, Jon Faddis, George Lewis, Muhal Richard Abrams, Frederic Rzewski, Teitelbaum, Karl Berger, Dave Holland, Barry Altschul), le composizioni sono di Braxton, ma Smith ha un ruolo di rilievo in questo album che è un lavoro molto significativo nella produzione di Braxton degli anni settanta: suona in due dei sei brani dell'album, ma dirige l'orchestra in altri tre.

Nei primi anni settanta Leo Smith crea il gruppo New Dalta Ahkri, che avrà diversi organici. E' con questa intestazione che Smith realizza il suo secondo album personale, Reflectativity, registrato nel novembre del '74 - sempre per la Kabell, la sua etichetta - in trio con Anthony Davis al pianoforte e Wes Brown al contrabbasso. E' proprio con gli album con Leo Smith degli anni settanta che Anthony Davis, di dieci anni meno di Leo Smith (aveva ventitré anni all'epoca di Reflectativity), comincia a mettersi in luce: Davis - che tornerà poi a collaborare con Smith anche successivamente - sarà poi un notevole pianista e leader nell'ambito del jazz d'avanguardia, ma la sua fama sarà legata soprattutto alla creazione di alcune opere, la più famosa delle quali è The Life and Times of Malcolm X. Nelle note di copertina alla ristampa di Reflectativity nel cofanetto Kabell Years: 1971-1979, pubblicato dalla Tzadik, l'etichetta di John Zorn, Davis ha scritto che la musica di Smith "vive non solo nelle sue note e nei suoi gesti musicali, ma nei silenzi (...). In questa negoziazione la musica diventa scultura - letteralmente un modellare lo spazio musicale all'interno del silenzio".

Tornato nei primi mesi del '70 dal suo lungo soggiorno parigino, Leo Smith non vede a Chicago molte prospettive, e in settembre decide di trasferirsi in Connecticut, per raggiungere il sassofonista Marion Brown che ha incontrato per la prima volta nel corso dell'estate. Nel dicembre del '71 Leo Smith incide il primo album a suo nome, interamente in solo, in cui si alterna a tromba, flicorno, percussioni e altri strumenti: intitolato Creative Music - 1, viene pubblicato dalla Kabell, etichetta dello stesso Smith. Nell'album non mancano fra l'altro segnali dell'interesse di Smith per culture di altre parti del mondo (Africa, GIappone, Indonesia...), interesse che il soggiorno parigino ha stimolato. Il trasferimento nel '70 in Connecticut rappresenta per Smith l'inizio di un nuovo periodo, perché se il suo primo album personale lavora su alcune direttrici che sono tipiche della AACM - solo, polistrumentismo, senso dello spazio... - allo stesso tempo il fatto di essere lontano da Chicago, ma anche da New York, dove nel frattempo Braxton e Leroy Jenkins si sono trasferiti, apre per lui una fase di riflessione individuale e anche di emancipazione dalla AACM.

Iniziamo la puntata facendo un piccolo passo indietro: prima di partire per Parigi, nel luglio del '69 Leo Smith partecipa alla registrazione di quella che diventerà la seconda facciata de Young at Heart/Wise in Time, secondo album di Muhal Richard Abrams: del quintetto raccolto in studio fa parte anche il sassofonista Henry Theadgill, che, dopo aver collaborato con Abrams nella prima metà degli anni sessanta, è appena tornato dal Vietnam. Rientrato da Parigi negli Stati Uniti nel '70, Smith registra con la Creative Construction Company, cioè un sestetto comprendente Anthony Braxton, Leroy Jenkins e Muhal Richard Abrams, solidarizza con Henry Threadgill, e collabora con Marion Brown, sassofonista che nei sessanta ha inciso con Shepp e ha persino partecipato ad Ascension di Coltrane, e poi dal '67 è stato tre anni in Europa: la storia di Brown è dunque più lunga e importante di quella di Smith, che ha inciso solo con i chicagoani che hanno appena cominciato a farsi conoscere: ma è proprio Smith a dare l'impronta più originale alle registrazioni in duo realizzate con Brown nel '70.

Nel giugno del '69 Leo Smith partecipa, in trio con il violinista Leroy Jenkins, alla registrazione di un nuovo album di Anthony Braxton: proprio firmato da Smith è il brano che dà il titolo al disco. Un paio di mesi dopo Smith è a Parigi, dove nel frattempo sono già arrivati Roscoe Mitchell col suo gruppo (che proprio in questa occasione assume il nome di Art Ensemble of Chicago) e Anthony Braxton. I musicisti chicagoani si mescolano con Archie Shepp e altri reduci dal Festival Panafricano di Algeri e con altri esponenti dell'avanguardia afroamericana, in una estate parigina che sarà il canto del cigno del free jazz ma anche il trampolino di lancio del post-free di cui i chicagoani - in quel momento ancora sconosciuti a New York - sono gli alfieri. Nel settembre del '69 e nel gennaio del '70 Smith a Parigi partecipa all'incisione di altri due album di Anthony Braxton, destinati all'etichetta francese Byg; ma, non accreditato sull'album, è alla tromba anche in Comme à la radio, famoso Lp della cantante francese Brigitte Fontaine. Nel corso del suo soggiorno parigino, che si prolunga fino ai primi mesi del '70, Smith ha anche occasione di incontrare per la prima volta, e di frequentare regolarmente, in un rapporto molto formativo, Ornette Coleman.

Wednesday on Political Rewind: A lawsuit accusing Georgia's presidential election of being rigged collapsed on Wednesday. Earlier in the week, state election investigators have told a Superior Court judge they found no evidence to back up claims by plaintiffs, who allege counterfeit ballots were counted in Fulton County last year. But on Wednesday, Henry County judge Judge Brian Amero dismissed the case. The judge wrote that the plaintiffs, including Garland Favorito of the group VoterGA, lacked standing and also failed to allege a particularized injury in their lawsuit that claimed fake ballots were counted in Fulton's totals. In other news, a candidate for mayor of Sandy Springs says he is being threatened and targeted with racist campaign messages. Dontaye Carter is the first Black candidate to run for the city's mayoral office. Five Black candidates for Sandy Springs' City Council say they have also been subjected to similar abuse. Plus, we celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and the important contributions Hispanic communities make in Georgia. Panelists: Rep.

Monday on Political Rewind: Former President Donald Trump's rally in Perry over the weekend drew big names on the 2022 ballot for Republicans. The event also stirred up controversy: Trump continued his attacks on Gov. Brian Kemp, exasperating the schism between loyalists to the former president and the main figures behind the state Republican Party. Former Atlanta Journal-Constitution columnist Jim Galloway said the public derision on display might turn off voters from participating in important statewide Republican races at the top of the ballot in 2022. "And if you don't have a lot of votes at the top, then it's going to hurt all the way down the ballot," Galloway said. The former president falsely claimed the Arizona recount showed there had been fraud in Maricopa County voting, and encouraged Georgia GOP leaders to demand a similar so-called "audit" of presidential election ballots here. Panelists: Rep. Teri Anulewicz — State representative (D-Smyrna) Leo Smith — Republican consultant and president, Engaged Futures Group Jim Galloway — Former political columnist, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Tuesday on Political Rewind: Gov. Brian Kemp announced new initiatives in the effort to get more Georgians vaccinated. Residents under the state health plan will receive a subsidy if they get the COVID-19 vaccine. Kemp is also preparing 2,500 additional Georgia National Guard troops to assist hospitals across the state reeling from the recent surge in hospitalizations from COVID-19 cases. In other news, Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker faces new light on his tumultuous past. An investigation by the Associated Press revealed documents detailing accusations that Walker repeatedly threatened his ex-wife and alarmed business associates with unpredictable behavior. How significant will these reports be through Walker's campaign? Also, the Buckhead city movement is gaining some momentum. Republican states Sens. Clint Dixon and Brandon Beach are cosponsoring legislation calling for a referendum on the city's controversial succession. Panelists: Sen.

Friday on Political Rewind: Is Georgia House Speaker David Ralston considering a run for the U.S. Senate? A recent visit to D.C. to meet with Republican congressional leaders and social media posts about the Senate seat currently held by Sen. Raphael Warnock is leading some to speculate Ralston might consider a challenge in 2022. At the moment, there are no well-known Republican challengers to Warnock's seat. We discussed the possibilities with our panel. Meanwhile, conservative leaders across Georgia are focusing their attention on a new issue: critical race theory in state curriculum. Gov. Brian Kemp yesterday urged the state board of education to take steps to assure that the “dangerous ideology” will not take root in state standards and curriculum. But is this a problem in search of a solution? In Cherokee County, the superintendent of schools insisted critical race theory will not be taught in county classrooms as a school board meeting attracted hundreds of people angry about any effort to teach students that there is systemic racism built into American institutions.

Black Atlanta businessman and political activist Leo Smith explains why he is a Republican
Thursday on Political Rewind: Attempts to overturn November election results continue despite repeated setbacks and an absence of credible evidence. Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr is the latest Republican state official to receive a personal warning from President Donald Trump not to interfere with efforts to overturn the results of the presidential election. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports Trump called Carr on Wednesday when he learned the attorney general criticized a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court essentially asking for the nullification of Biden's victory in Georgia and three other battleground states. Republican political strategist and community activist Leo Smith said he would like to see the party win on the merits of their platform, rather than trying to manufacture a win through the courts. "I want to have a competition of ideas, not a competition of who can cheat the best," Smith said. Our panelists included: Ryan Graha, Chairman of Georgia Libertarian Party; Leo Smith, Political Strategy Consultant and CEO of Engaged Futures Group; Dr. Kurt Young, Professor of Political Science at Clark Atlanta University; and Kevin Riley, Editor of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Wednesday on Political Rewind: The spotlight remains focused on Georgia following the general election as two crucial Senate races head to a January runoff. Vice President Mike Pence announced he plans to visit the state to campaign for Republican Senate candidates David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler. President-elect Joe Biden signaled he is open to stumping for Democratic challengers Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock. More influential figures are expected to make appearances here in the next nine weeks in the lead up to the Jan. 5 runoff elections. Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger is responding to criticism from Georgia Republicans over his handling of the November election in the state. He received calls for his resignation from Loeffler and Perdue. The pair accuse him of a lack of transparency and mismanaging the state elections. Raffensperger responded by saying it's his job to follow Georgia law and count all votes, while investigating any potential violations to voting law or procedures. Our panel included: Dr. Andra Gillespie, professor of political science and director in the James Weldon Johnson Institute on Race at Emory University; Greg Bluestein, politics reporter for The Atlanta Journal-Constitution; Rep. Sam Park, State Representative (D-Lawrenceville); and Leo Smith, GOP political consultant and CEO of Engaged Futures Group.
JOE BIDEN chose KAMALA HARRIS for his VP running mate, but who is KAMALA HARRIS? Many African Americans demanded that BIDEN choose a BLACK WOMAN as his VP running mate, but some have question HARRIS' racial lineage to suggest she manipulates here heritage simple for political gain. Our special guests politicos, ERMINA HILL, APRILL SHINES, LEO SMITH, & SHELLEY WYNTER all drop by to address the real concerns as well as the made up concerns about HARRIS. Is she truly a progressive candidate that will fight for the rights of AFRICAN AMERICANS, or is she more in lined with the establishment? Some disparage her for her time as a DISTRICT ATTORNEY, but what is the TRUTH about her time as a DA in OAKLAND? DID she really go out of her way to lock up Blacks, or did she develop progressive programs as DA that actually improve the community? As a congresswoman she also pushed for the study on REPARATIONS, but what is her actual stance? MENTAL DIALOGUE asking the questions America's afraid to ask.

With so many research tools on the market, it can be hard to nail down exactly which ones are right for your team. This week on the pod, Erin and JH chatted with Daniel Loewus-Deitch and Leo Smith, who are the Directors of User Experience and Research, respectively, at a large insurance company. They wanted to learn more about how Daniel and Leo choose the tools with the best ROI for their team. Daniel and Leo have spent a lot of time building out their tool stack. Since they have a lot of experience working for large organizations with many people conducting research and even more consuming it, it was important to them to get it right. In this episode, they talked about how they evaluate the ROI of tools, the summit they assembled to identify the tools their team could and would use, and how important it is to leave your assumptions at the door when tool-hunting. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/awkwardsilences/message

The raven is both agile and majestic in flight but shrouded in mystery, superstition and folk law. How was it that our biggest member of the crow family, a bird once protected as an important scavenger in ancient times, was then persecuted almost to extinction in the British Isles, with less that 1000 pairs clinging onto a precarious future in few remote hills in upland Britain? In this Living World from 2010, Lionel Kelleway travels to the syperstones in Shropshire where thankfully the raven is making a remarkable comeback. Here he meets up with Leo Smith and Tom Wall from the Shropshire Raven Study Group, a group who have been studying these magnificent birds for nearly 20 years. As they walk to an old raven nest in wet woodland, they encounter many ravens on the wing. But the tide has turned and now Shropshire is home to a remarkable wildlife spectacle, a raven roost in a private woodland where Lionel is chorused by over 60 ravens wheeling and displaying in the gathering dusk. Since the programme was broadcast, the Shropshire Raven Study group has completed it's work. In this revised episode wildlife presenter Lindsey Chapman updates the listener with this corvid success story. Produced by Andrew Dawes

The clash of the ash and the pride of local clubs. It's been a golden age for Portumna GAA and its legendary hurlers, All Ireland Club Champions for the last two years and pushing for a third title in 2010. In Club Heroes we meet the champion hurlers of Portumna and find out why, for many players, a club victory is even more important than a county title. As team player Leo Smith puts it 'for a small town like Portumna theres a great buzz around the place. I mean you've grown up with these guys. You'd die for each other out there. It means so much to be out there and representing your club, your county, your province.' In this radio feature we hear the story of Portumna from the players themselves, a story of brothers, like the famous Canning brothers including team captain and corner back Ollie Canning. It's been a golden decade for the club which is now considered one of the most successful teams in the country. The senior hurlers have just celebrated their 3-in-a-row county victory and are aiming for another 3-in-a-row in the All-Ireland Finals. Given that the Club only gained senior status in 1992 its success has been phenomenal. In this special documentary we meet senior team manager, Johnny Kelly, captain Ollie canning and players Leo Smith and Eoin Lynch. For Ollie the bond between the team players is as close, if not closer, than brothers. 'I know if any of the lads where in trouble I'd stand up for them same as I'd stand up for the brothers'. The spirit that binds them together is, they say, more than sport, its about family, locality and belonging. The sense of pride when they bring home the cup is often better than All Ireland county titles. 'Its what we dream about since we were young lads' says Leo Smith 'hurling together in the under 10, under 12. Running out with your club mates that's what it's all about'.
