In a wide ranging podcast- recorded 36 hours after a heart-breaking All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Kerry- this is remarkable stuff from one of the best players in Gaelic football- in Gaelic games! Brendan Rodgers should pick-up an All star award in midfield later this year after a dramatic change of position in 2023. His performance against Kerry was scintillating. We reflect on that defeat, his move to midfield and who he believes will win Sam Maguire (and Liam MacCarthy) The podcast examines a season in red. The referee performance against Kerry, will Ciaran Meenagh remain as manager, the feeling within the camp when Rory Gallagher was replaced as coach 48 hours before the Ulster final- and its impact. Can you play both football and hurling and what's it like being a five-time world champion in Irish dancing. Brendan brings us into a world of pressure! All-star awards- will Brendan pick one up later this year? Does he care? He's an interesting response. Planning a wedding when you've just one free week per-year and his decision not to drink alcohol is interesting. His Sunday night was a cup of tea, a traybake (because it was earned) and off to bed. Different. What's vibrant about this podcast is the brilliant personality of Brendan Rogers. Devoted to Slaughtneil and Derry and an absolute belief he will climb the steps of the Hogan stand for both club and county. He's also a healthy look on life, perspective and being level.

Philly McMahon has lived, and living a remarkable life. Under Pat Gilroy and Jim Gavin he thrived. We dig deep into both managers- what they brought and why they were different. Gavin is specifically interesting. Bringing the Dublin team to the Battle of the Somme in France and camping in an army barracks. The team to sleep outside and work life out for themselves. He was trying to pick his captain. Remarkable insight into Jim Gavin as a manager. Born in Ballymun, his Father joined the IRA, was shot and escaped from a court appearance. He spent 30 years on the run. His travels to Belfast on the train, his father was his ‘Uncle Frank' From that background- one of the most successful footballers burst into life. At underage and senior level Philly started life as a forward before reaching his true calling in the full-back line. Eight All-Irelands with Dublin, 12 Leinster titles, Five Allianz League titles and double All-star. He was also nominated for Player-of-the-year but didn't get it. Why? The Kieran Donaghy incident possibly. Does Philly regret it? We ask him. We're not so sure about the answer. There's more in this feature length episode of the GAA Social. His best player, marking Colm Cooper, the Aidan O'Shea incident still irks. There's more. What his father had in his wallet that was found a year after he died and who (apart from Dublin) Philly would like to see win the All-Ireland. Will he be manager someday? Could it be Antrim?

In one of the most powerful GAA Social podcasts to date, former Armagh manager Brian Canavan joins Thomas and Oisin. He talks football, one of the most high profile shootings in his bar during the Troubles- weeks before the signing of the Good Friday Agreement. Brian also talks living with Cancer, refereeing and perhaps unusually, there's plenty of laughs too. In 1998, best friends Damien Trainor and Phillip Allen were killed in a shooting in Poyntzpass. The LVF burst into the Railway Bar and shot dead the life-long friends. Brian Canavan owns the Railway Bar. Both Damien and Phillip were innocent locals, discussing the upcoming wedding of Phillip. Damien was due to be best man. It's one of the most high profile shootings during the troubles. It occurred weeks before the Good Friday Agreement was signed and notable because of David Trimble and Seamus Mallon, together visiting the homes of both victims. Canavan brings us back to that day. It's a remarkable moment in time. Canavan along with Brian McAlinden managed Armagh to back-to-back Ulster championships in 1999 & 2000. It's 23 years since Armagh beat Derry on that famous day at Clones. Oisin McConville scored the winning point after a dubious free was awarded. This week marks a special occasion for Brian. For the first time, he discusses his cancer treatment and on Wednesday May 4th will receive his final radiotherapy treatment. That's the plan! Brian was BBC co-commentator for almost 30 years, we reflect on those days, the battles when in charge of Armagh and a refreshing outlook on life. Brian and his wife Geraldine go away for a night once a week, date night and still the best of friends. Life lessons. It's an absorbing story of love, loss, football and life.

The Galway star sits down with Thomas Niblock & Oisin McConville in a reveal all podcast, providing a rare insight into one Gaelic Games most influential sportsmen. There's much to discuss. Shane transferred from his club Kilkerrin/Clonberne to Kilmacud Crokes after Galway's All-Ireland defeat to Kerry (although his mind was made up before the Armagh game) the transfer shocked the sport. Why? How did he feel about the abuse aimed towards him, his new club- and will he go back home in the future, if roads lead back West? There's the All-Ireland club final with Glen. 17 players. Was it cheating? Would the Leinster champions fulfil a replay- if that was the Call? With nothing off-limits Shane opens up to the GAA Social about hopes for Galway in 2023, that battle with David Clifford and the influence Ronan O'Gara had on him the night before the All-Ireland final with Kerry. Oisin loves O'Gara and reveals his own admiration for the former Ireland number 10. The importance of imagination, a lesson he learned as a six-year-old and the influence of Padraic Joyce is all packed into this podcast. Also, how did Walsh manage a substantial break during the inter-county season and could we seriously have lost him to another sport?

What does success look like and with championship just around the corner and a difficult draw against Derry- is a first ever provincial title possible in 2023?

What a podcast. From Gingers (African sunset) to going on the session before the 2008 All-Ireland final- and lying to Mickey Harte. Owen Mulligan is brutually honest but after coaching Tyrone to the All-Ireland U20 title- there's a bit more to 'Mugsy' than many perhaps know. A facinating insight into on of sports greatest rivalries & what he really thought of Oisin McConville. The story of how his Tyrone days came to an end is incredible and how his stubborness prevented a return to red and white. With laughter throughout- this podcast is a colourful hilarious journey into the life of Mugsy and more importantly a new direction on the sidelines- and one he's pretty good at. Oisin believes he won the good looking competition.

There's “Paddy Power”, the Irish bookmakers known for revolutionising the gambling business and their outlandish marketing campaigns; and then there's Paddy Power the man.

How does he feel about the journey of this humble family business to the global force that is today. In this candid interview with comedian Jarlath Regan he gives us a rare and personal insight into his journey with his father, the business and the dark shadow of addiction that comes with it.

Armagh Chairperson Sinead Reel is also on the podcast and explains how Armagh became the first and only inter-county ladies team to have their own bespoke facilities. No travel expenses- the boys get their food for the week- the girls don't. It's one of a number of points to come up in a brilliant podcast listen.

It's a strange one. The most laughs in a single podcast- yet cancer is the topic!

Keeping positive helps and is his own unique way, Mark explains every step from diagnosis to 'the great day' Del boy & Rodney make an apperance via Oisin McConville, who remains confused about where Armagh actually are at? He does know where Banagher is- eventually! Recording was in Dungiven where stories of pints are told.
