GOLEEN captain Padraig Reidy was in great form, along with his teammates, this week as they ended a long wait for the county confined junior B football title with a victory over Ballyphehane in Páirc Uí Rinn on Saturday.The men from the West had lost four county finals in recent years and were determined not to let that number grow as they found the energy to get over the line in a banner day for the parish, beating the city side after extra time.Reidy joins us on this week's podcast to chat about the win, what it means for Goleen and the strong mentality it took to put those previous losses behind us.We're also looking back on Cork's brilliant win over Limerick in the All-Ireland SHC semi-final on Sunday. Star reporter Seán Holland was there as a fan and stood in Hill 16 to witness an incredible performance and well-earned win for the Rebels. He looks back on a great day out and talks about why Cork managed to get one over the Green Machine for the second time this year.All this and more on this week's Star Sport Podcast. Watch above.

The Tories have ramped their anti-immigration rhetoric up to eleven – can it help their election fortunes? With Lee Anderson going all in with belligerence and asylum seekers being moved on to the Bibby Stockholm barge, we pick apart the Government's motives. Plus, who are the elite? Is it you? Is it us? Is being elite bad now? The panel tries to unpack it all. And in the extra bit for subscribers, is doing things by yourself always empowering? “I think the Tories have decided that they want to make immigration their focus of the next election campaign.” – Rachel Cunliffe “This stigmatisation is completely central to their electoral campaign.” – Seth Thévoz “The government certainly is not signalling openness and tolerance with any of its messaging.” – Padraig Reidy “Elite used to be a good thing, right?” – Rachel Cunliffe www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by managing editor Jacob Jarvis with Rachel Cunliffe, Seth Thévoz and Padraig Reidy.

Will the UK's new trade deal with the CPTPP fill the massive, gaping hole that Brexit left? No, probably not. So why are the Tories framing this as a huge win? Plus, Rishi and his mates are acting ‘ard. Will this new tough act win them votes, or is it just pushing us all even further away? That's Oh God, What Now? with special guest Padraig Reidy, political commentator and editor of the literature, science, art and politics magazine littleatoms.com. “The problem here is we're doing an agreement with places that are quite far away.” – Seth Thevoz “This deal is like having a horrible partner rather than dying alone.” – Jacob Jarvis. “There is something very patronising about the whole toughness rhetoric.” – Seth Thevoz. “I think we're in a spiral at the moment of a Tory party just trying anything.” – Padraig Reidy. “They've just run out of new ways of being wankers basically.” – Padraig Reidy. www.patreon.com/ohgodwhatnow Presented by Managing Editor Jacob Jarvis with Yasmeen Serhan, Seth Thévoz, and guest Padraig Reidy.

Reports suggest Google has so far had over 40000 requests. The ruling has pleased some privacy campaigners but others argue it violates the fundamental principles of freedom of expression. Steve Hewlett is joined by Max Mosley who won a case against Google, and Padraig Reidy, a columnist for Index on Censorship.
