As Oscar night comes ever closer, Josh and Andrew travel down the “Rocky Road to Dublin” for the most-nominated film in Academy history, the much beloved (except by Variety) barn-burner Sinners! Getting deep into the hot, sweaty beauty of Ryan Coogler's Delta blues drama/horror mash-up, our hosts praise the film's celebration of Black music, its timely views on racism and cultural appropriation, an Andrew-approved take on vampire lore, and the effortless visual splendor and acting. After, they have One More Thing, recommending another Carpenter-esque horror with the Master's Prince of Darkness and Slidebean's video essay on home video, The Biggest Mistake in the History of Hollywood.Next up, The Take-Up goes under pressure with Disc-Connected's Ryan Verrill to talk about the A24 drama Aftersun. Until then, read on at thetake-up.com and follow us @thetakeupstl on Instagram, Twitter, Letterboxd, and Facebook.

Gary Cully could write a book about what's happened since he last joined us. He'd have a chapter on the best win of his career and perhaps his worst defeat. We'd hear about the realisation that a drugs cheat cut him down in his prime, derailed his momentum and potentially cost him millions of euro. Eye surgery, getting engaged, becoming a dad, developing his businesses, making peace with his inner pain, starting the game of snakes and ladders a few rungs down, rediscovering his passion for boxing, moving up in weight, hustling behind the scenes… it's all part of The Rocky Road the Kildare man has travelled in recent times. As always, a compelling listen from the engaging Naas boxer who's determined to put his name up in lights again soon ahead of his 3Arena return to the ring on March 14.

After one bender too many, one doghouse too many, Paddy Gallagher decided enough was enough. He was quitting the gargle for good. But when he made that decision, he never really expected what would follow – a boxing comeback. However that's exactly what's going down, with the Pat Man ready to return now at the Waterfront, Belfast on February 27. He's been out of the ring since 2019 so there's bound to be some ringrust to shake off, and he'll need to rediscover his timing in there – not that he ever had any to begin with, he jokes. The Rocky Road spends a savage hour with the West Belfast boxer, going over his great amateur career that culminated in Commonwealth glory in India in 2010, turning professional in the Carl Frampton era, tournament boxing in Prizefighter and at the WBC World Invitational in Louisville, and becoming close with Gary Murray, who nearly lost his life after a fight with today's interviewee. Now 36, Gallagher outlines his short-term ambitions in the sport and tells us why he's been inspired by the feats of fellow Belfast men Anthony Cacace and Lewis Crocker during his absence. We also delve into the psychology of the comeback, and the alternative - leaving your dreams behind when you feel you could've done just a little bit more. He hasn't gone away, you know…(Podcast image by Jordan Swain) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

John Cooney died in February 2025 after suffering a brain injury during the first defence of his Celtic super-featherweight title against Nathan Howells. It was his 12th professional bout, and In total, he boxed 60 rounds across his dozen pro bouts, winning 11, right up to his final contest at the Ulster Hall in Belfast. John was just 28 years old when he passed away, the first fatality in an Irish ring in 70+ years. These are the facts. To find out about the man himself, The Rocky Road visited his gym in Inchicore, Dublin, where coach Steven O'Rourke and best mate Ryan O'Rourke talked about his cheeky character, his punching power and his love for cookies and cheesecake. One year on, the pain of his loss is still deeply felt, while his memory drives them on. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
This is The Rocky Road to Dublin, Part 3. It's going to be a big night of boxing at the 3Arena on March 14, headlined by the world title fight between Anthony Cacace and WBA champ, Jazza Dickens. Parts 1 and 2 dealt with the main event and co-main event featuring Pierce O'Leary versus Mark Chamberlain. We also brought you interviews with newcomers Adam Olaniyan and Bobbi Flood, who'll be making their debuts on the night at the old Point Depot. But wait…there's more! Jono Carroll will be back in Dublin for the first time in over a decade when he'll take on Belfast's Colm Murphy for the IBO world super-featherweight title. It's a fight right out of leftfield for King Kong, who's been on a measly diet of one fight a year for the last three years. He's eyeing a clash with the winner of the main event - and came close to taking on Cacace in this one before it became a title defence for Dickens. Carroll's had a big career so far - announcing himself on the stage at the 3Arena with victory over Declan Geraghty in 2014, going on to win Prizefighter, boxing on the Tyson Fury v Vladimir Klitshko undercard in Dusseldorf in 2015, challenging Tevin Farmer for the world title in 2019, and beating Scott Quigg in impressive fashion the following year. He's not exactly in last-chance saloon at the age of 33 - Cacace is testament to that, as he'll be 37 on fight night - but he knows it's time to strike. Murphy meanwhile is not one to overlook. Posh Boy may not look like your everyday scrapper but he's had to overcome a late start to boxing and battles with dyslexia, dyspraxia and doubt to make it this far. He's highly motivated and hugely dedicated. He and his manager Mark Dunlop explain to us why they're going to claim a notable scalp on their own journey to the top. We're also delighted to see a comeback fight for Dublin heavyweight Thomas Carty on the bill. Across 2023 and 2024 he enjoyed three knockout wins at the 3Arena and it appears a simple promotional slogan - No Carty, No Party - has come true. But this has truly been a Rocky Road back to Dublin for the popular northsider. With his momentum growing, he headed to New York for a Paddy's Day showcase last year - where disaster struck. In a clash with 410lb monster Dejuan Calloway at Madison Square Garden, his knee went, and Carty left the ring in agony. Today he tells us about his brutal recovery spell and why it means so much to be back, one year on. Finally, we've got a man who, all going well, will be back headlining in Ireland in his own right in time. Cork's Steven Cairns, AKA The Irish Takeover, has quietly gone about his business since turning professional back in the Covid days of 2021. The light-welterweight has built an impressive 13-fight winning streak, with eight knockouts, and looks sharp as a tack. He boxed at the National Stadium last year, taking out Francisco Javier Lucero in the third round, and his quality really stood out to all at ringside. We talk to Steven about his pro boxing apprenticeship, boxing all over the world, his epic celebrations and why social media management is a must for every young fighter who wants to make it to the top.

St Pierce's Day weekend is coming. It's going to be a big night of boxing at the 3Arena on March 14, headlined by the world title fight between Anthony Cacace and WBA champ, Jazza Dickens. The chief support bout sees Pierce O'Leary fighting in Dublin at long last. The local boxer takes on Portsmouth's Mark Chamberlain for the IBO world title at light-welterweight. Big Bang has previously held the European title and is one of the leading lights in a red-hot division, where UK rival Dalton Smith recently became WBC champion with a sensational knockout of Subriel Matias in New York. Other belt holders in the division include Teofimo Lopez, who holds the WBO strap, and Richardson Hitchins, who's the IBF kingpin right now. Ireland's also got talent in there, with Sean McComb clearly a match for anyone given his recent performances, and he's been heavily linked with a showdown with O'Leary which could possibly go down later this year. Gary Cully, who boxes on the Dublin card, is also hoping to join the mix after moving up a weight class. But first, while the headliner is a mouthwatering contest, for many this is the O'Leary show. Promised a homecoming for several years now, he's linked up with Brian Peters, who brought big-time boxing back to Dublin in the 2000s with Bernard Dunne and did it again in recent years with Katie Taylor. Now O'Leary is the man to take the mantle. His performances in recent years have absolutely warranted it, his popularity is undeniable, and now it's here. Today he'll tell us why he's ready to deal with all the pressure that comes with it, why he and his team get annoyed with being typecast as simply a banger, and why he'll finish out his camp back in his hometown. We also hear from Chamberlain. The 27-year-old from Portsmouth, with 17 wins, 1 defeat and 1 draw, is by some distance O'Leary's biggest obstacle yet. He tells us why he feels all the pressure is on his opponent, how he's dealt with his own experiences of pressure after being anointed as Saudi powerbroker Turki Al-Sheikh's favourite fighter, and how he came to boxing as a way of dealing with potential bullies as a kid. Last week we heard from a young Dublin heavyweight who'll be making his professional debut on the show, in Adam Olaniyan. Today it's the turn of rising light-middleweight Bobbi Flood, who'll also be joining the paid ranks on March 14 after signing with Queensbury Promotions. Flood's name is well known within Irish boxing circles and he's ready to announce his name to the world, going in with the aim of becoming world champion inside five years. He's been sparring with pros since his mid-teens and, after a spell working as a mechanic, realised he had to go all-in to pursue his dream. This is The Rocky Road to Dublin, Part 2.

Season 9 just wouldn't be complete without an epic conversation with Shannon Beahen of Humminghorse, this time about the rollercoaster ride that is recovery from a significant health event in our horses. Both Shannon and I come to this conversation with very real and personal experience of this rocky road in our own bodies, and with members of our herds. As you'll hear, I've been in the stressful beginnings of this walk with my new gelding Reykur, and Shannon at the (hopefully) end stages with her gelding Ivan, and this chat felt like an important one to share our experiences and support others that might be going through something similar. We get right into the big stuff as we unpack the very real issue of caregiver fatigue, the guilt/shame/isolation that so often accompanies caring for an unwell horse, how to be with wanting it to be different, and what to do when you don't know what to do. Shannon also outlines her process of observing nuances in condition, vitality and movement as a way to track progress and change, how she knew that Ivan wanted to stick around even when he was struggling and how she went from questioning her life decisions to feeling a sense of deep privilege to care for and learn from her herd. I share some of my main take-aways from my journey with Reykur and how his health event is actually changing our connection for the better, as challenging as it's been. This is one of those conversations packed with goodness and wisdom and hard truths and I truly hope you take the opportunity to listen. If you haven't listened to my previous conversations with Shannon, check out episodes 121, 92 and 81 of the Whole Horse Podcast, or dive right in to today's episode. Shannon Beahen is an alternative horse trainer, online educator, academic and writer. She specializes in teaching her own "high vibration" approach to natural dressage and liberty as well as the creation of species-appropriate habitats that promote dynamic movement and sovereign equine lifestyles. She is passionate about exploring and articulating the ethics of embodied horse-human relationships. Her hope is that through teaching a deeper awareness of human-animal and human-environment relations, equestrian education ceases to be a privileged pastime; and instead may just provide some of the seeds to birth a new earth.

Anto Cacace is starving. And not just for the Nando's he's been waiting all day for. The former IBF world super-featherweight hit The Rocky Road to Dublin to publicise his March 14 clash with Liverpool's James ‘Jazza' Dickens at the 3Arena, with Dickens putting his WBA world title on the line in what's sure to be a mouthwatering clash. ‘The Apache' tells us why he's hungrier than ever to keep making history, why he's skint again after spending all his winnings to date on bricks and mortar, bringing the boys down the M1 for a fight night and why he'll be dedicating his performance to his late friend, Paul McCullagh Jr. We also sit down with Dickens, who knows hunger all too well. He's ready to defend his championship belt at the old Point Depot and he tells us about how he used to actually park up his van outside the place back in the day and sleep there on a mattress in the back. Jazza, who's half-Dub at this stage from his time in the capital under Pete Taylor, is cut from the same cloth as Cacace - a veteran who's paid his dues, and these two are ready to put it all on the line. Plus we're joined by brand new heavyweight Adam Olaniyan, who's making his pro debut on the card. The Tallaght, Dublin boxer stands at 6ft 6in, has won everything at underage level in the amateurs and has pro sparring experience with the likes of Joseph Parker. We hear about his lofty goals in the sport but this is a young man with his feet planted firmly on the ground. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Irish Stew Podcast is “Off the Beaten Craic” in Co. Longford for the sound of the low whistle and the sight of an Iron Age roadway at the Corlea Trackway Visitors Centre, located a half hour's drive north from their home-away-from-home in Athlone. There they met their guide Noel Carberry who opens and closes the interview with his virtuosity on the larger, lower-pitched variation of the traditional tin whistle.Noel is a 26-year-veteran of the Corlea Trackway Visitors Centre, a “life sentence' as he jokingly calls it, but beyond the bog he's best known as an expert musician of the uilleann pipes, the Irish tin and low whistles, and bodhrán.He brings Ireland's Iron Age dramatically to life through his expert commentary on the Corlea Trackway, the widest prehistoric road of its kind discovered in Europe. Laid down in oak planks between the autumn of 148 BC and the spring of 147 BC, this one-kilometer wooden roadway once stretched from dry land to dry land across the bog, a monumental and mysterious statement of power and belief in the Hidden Heartlands.“What you're talking about is a prehistoric planked road, for all the world like a railway track upside down, with planks of oak laid down on runners of ash, oak, or silver birch,” he says.Noel tells of growing up in the nearby workers housing of Bord na Móna, the Irish agency which extracted peat to fuel power plants. That same industrial extraction uncovered the buried trackway in 1984, when milled peat operations stripped the bog down to the level of the ancient timbers and a worker with an interest in archaeology realized their importance.For Noel, the ancient trackway may have been less a simple road than a display of dominance, possibly built with timber taken from defeated neighbors, their sacred oaks regarded as the reincarnation of ancestral spirits.On view at Corlea are eighteen meters of preserved roadway saved from industrial destruction and maintained, presented and compellingly interpreted by the OPW, or Office of Public Works.With tales of ancient kings, bog bodies, and spirited tunes like “The Rocky Road to Dublin” echoing through the Centre, Noel makes a compelling case that Ireland's true story runs not just around the coasts, but through the deep, mysterious middle.With thanks to Noel and the OPW, the podcasters depart for the final Off the Beaten Craic stops in the Hidden Heartlands series with episodes coming up next in County Leitrim.LinksCorlea Iron Age Roadway and Visitors CentreFacebookIrish Stew LinksWebsiteInstagramLinkedInMedia Partner: IrishCentralEpisode Details: Season 8, Episode 2; Total Episode Count: 144
A new boxing year is upon us and a slew of Irish fighters are looking to break those chains and bring home some major titles. Among them is Tyrone titan Feargal McCrory, who's KO'd inactivity once before and is determined to do so again. Since ‘Fearless' last appeared on The Rocky Road, he's fought three times at Madison Square Garden, boxed for a world title in Washington and proved why he's one of the most popular Irish fighters around with his willingness to fight anyone, anywhere and his determination to get up off the canvas and keep marching forward, no matter what. We hear about his next move, the pain that drives him, the snakes that frustrate him behind the scenes, his withering assessment of Josh Warrington and why he's in favour of the Zuffa Boxing move into the sport and why he feels the Ali Act didn't help him, among lots of other themes in another fascinating conversation with one of Ireland's most thoughtful, independent fighters.

Thirty (and a bit) years on from winning the WBC world bantamweight in Japan, Wayne McCullough sits down for a Christmas chat with The Rocky Road. We go back to his breakthrough as a teenager in Belfast, sparring with pros at the Eastwood Gym, his two Olympic Games which culminated in a silver medal at Barcelona 92 and moving to the US to train under the legendary Eddie Futch. What made his mentor tick? And how did they plot his route to championship glory? Wayne then recalls the night itself, how he leapfrogged the various tricks the home crew tried to play on him, and why he wants to return to the Land of the Rising Sun for a reunion with the champion he toppled, Yasuei Yakushiji, who never fought again following their July 1995 bout. Wayne acknowledges Kieran Joyce's role in giving him his Pocket Rocket nickname, pays tribute to his old Ireland team-mates and explains why he wants a role in the future of Irish boxing after Zaur Antia announced his retirement as IABA high performance head coach earlier this year. Plus Wayne also details his struggles with mental health, which he spoke about at the time when such topics were rarely discussed, and he tells us that every day's a battle on The Rocky Road to happiness. We love a Legends interview over the Christmas period, so enjoy this conversation with one of the Irish boxing GOATs. And Merry Christmas, to all our listeners, from Kev and Simon at the podcast.

The Tomás MacCurtain Boxing Museum opened in Cork last year, and The Rocky Road went for a guided tour with father-and-son duo, Tommy and Mick Kelleher. It's not just a tribute to the Rebel County's achievements in the ring but a testament to the impact Irishmen and women have made all over the world in the squared circle. The museum contains pieces from across the amateur and professional domains, from Mick Leahy's Lonsdale belt to Zaur Antia's tracksuit from Paris 2024, where Kellie Harrington won her second Olympic gold medal in a row. The lads tell the story of Paddy Kenny, who boxed at the Rome Olympics in 1960 and is said to have shared a dressing room with a young Cassius Clay, and the ‘Yank', Maurice Walsh, an American football coach who formed a boxing dynasty after moving to Cork – with treasured artefacts from both. There's so much more besides, including the hurling corner which is something of a shrine to Glen man, Christy Ring. If Walls Could Talk, this place would burn the ear off any Irish sports fan for a week, but listeners can instead enjoy Tommy and Mick's guide to a unique attraction on Leeside. Hosted on Acast.

In Part 2 of The Rocky Road with Kieran Joyce, Cork's Boxer of the Century, we tell the story of his career from the 1984 Olympics onwards, from Los Angeles to Seoul, where he boxed at his second Games. By then Kieran was a six-time Irish Elite champion and a dangerous man. He'd picked up experience all over the world and had beaten several future world professional champions – including Dublin's Steve Collins. But again – spoiler alert – the dreaded split decision verdict was waiting in the wings for him. Kieran pulls back the curtain on a legendary amateur career, revealing his secrets and stories: why sugar was his weight-loss secret, and how he gave Wayne McCullough his ‘Pocket Rocket' nickname (the bill's in the post, Wayne). We delve into what made his Sunnyside BC coach, Albie Murphy, such a great influence, and the dedication his parents put into his, and his siblings', lives. Kieran also discusses why he hung up his gloves while still a young man, why he probably doesn't get enough credit as a coach, and why a move into the professional ranks just didn't happen. Finally, in a poignant and moving segment, Kieran pays a deeply felt tribute to his beloved daughter, Emma, who tragically died in 2021 after contracting meningitis. This is a must-listen journey through triumph, heartbreak and resilience. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Kieran Joyce was named as Cork's Boxer of the Century in 2014. A product of the Sunnyside Boxing Club, he boxed for Ireland at the 1984 and 1988 Olympic Games and is fondly remembered by fans as arguably the most exciting boxer to ever grace the National Stadium. The Rocky Road visited Kieran at his home to hear his story: developing his strength early by working in the family coal business, coming from a family of 12 – six boys and six girls – and learning how to scrap, working under the great Albie Murphy and finding success, and meaning, in the boxing ring. Part 1 of Kieran's story brings us right up to Los Angeles 1984, where he'd gone with one clear goal – to bring back gold to Fairhill in Cork. At that stage he was a two-time Irish senior champ (he'd ultimately win six in a row) and a European bronze medallist. He was throwing opponents around the ring like bags of coal. The Russians and Cubans were boycotting but there was a young American dangerman in his welterweight division by the name of Mark Breland. Joyce had no fear – let me at them, he said. But then, he met his match, and not for the last time: amateur boxing judges bearing split decisions. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Rocky Road took a trip to the Rebel County to sit down with the Godfather of Cork Boxing, Tommy Kelleher. He's been coaching for five decades and took his first steps in the sport more than 70 years ago. Tommy has coached more than 30 Irish champions and internationals and led Ireland's boxers at the 1987 and 1988 Gaelic Youths before guiding the senior team to the 1989 World Championships in Moscow, where Michael Carruth claimed a bronze medal. We hear about Tommy's boxing philosophy, how quickly he can spot the will to win in a young contender, setting a fighter's nerves before the lonely walk to the ring, coaching a young Roy Keane, impressing Christy Ring, appearing on The Young Offenders and why he's still putting his life and soul into coaching up-and-coming talents at the Glen Boxing Club on Cork's northside.

Zaur Antia – your mission is complete. You created universal boxers and delivered medals by the bucketload. Ten Olympic medals came Ireland's way during your time in charge of the boxing team. As news filters through that the Georgian guru has stepped down as Irish boxing's head honcho, The Rocky Road spoke with Beijing 2008 Olympian John Joe Joyce, who was there on his first day in Ireland 22 years ago, to hear the incredible, remarkable story of Zaur. How a man with no English could command a room of young boxers. How he convinced them to back themselves, trust their skills, dedicate themselves and keep improving via the skills he was imparting, and the discipline he demanded from them. How he led the way as Ireland won an astounding ten Olympic medals during his time with the team. John Joe takes us from the early days to the current ones, as it's turned full circle now and his club boxer, Patsy Joyce, recently bagged one of Antia's final medals as Ireland's king of the cornermen. He reckons the Georgian is Irish boxing's Jack Charlton. But we know there's only one Zaur Antia – and we salute you. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this powerful message, Dr. Charles Stanley teaches that following God's will is often not a smooth or easy journey—it's a rocky road filled with challenges, testing, and moments of uncertainty. He explains that obedience to God doesn't guarantee comfort or instant success, but rather spiritual growth, character development, and deeper faith. Dr. Stanley reminds believers that God's path is designed to refine and strengthen them, not to harm them. The “rocks” along the road—disappointments, delays, and difficulties—are tools God uses to shape humility, trust, and perseverance. He urges listeners to remain steadfast, even when circumstances seem to contradict God's promises, trusting that every hardship is part of His divine preparation. Ultimately, Dr. Stanley emphasizes that walking the rocky road with faith and obedience leads to maturity, blessing, and fulfillment of God's perfect will.

SECRET PROJECT IN DISCORD: https://discord.gg/muD2TYgC8f Is this the AI slow down? OpenAI's GPT-5's first week was kind of rough but Sam Atlman is working on it. GPT-4o is back for those who missed it but AI might not get to the Singularity as fast as people think. GPT-5 *did* crush Pokemon & a new version got a gold medal in the International Programming Competition. Plus, new Anthropic Claude updates, Sam & Elon are feuding again, Apple's new tabletop robot, Matrix Game 2's playable AI worlds, Meta's AI permissions fumble and maybe… most importantly… Robots can now do our laundry.

What does it really take to scale toward $100 million while staying aligned with your values, vision, and calling? In this candid episode of The Kelly Roach Show, Kelly pulls back the curtain on the real journey to her $100M goal: the messy pivots, crushed dreams, and the moments of divine direction that shaped her path forward. You'll hear how she went from running six companies at once with no clear “one thing” to identifying thecornerstone of her next era of growth. She shares why she walked away from the idea of scaling her high-ticket coaching model to $100M, faith-led decision-making and why she's embracing a decade-long vision instead of chasing big, immediate results.
