Second Captains

Enjoyed the Philly McMahon interview. McDevitt always gets the most out of the interviewee.

Didn't they say at the start of the World Service (which, aside from some episodes being short has easily been worth every penny and more) that they would try to do podcasts about whatever the subscribers wanted, which is how we got the politics podcast?

I'd love to hear some sort of music effort, I think Eoin said Ken worked for Hot Press or something once? Not so much on good music. Basically I just want to hear Ken's thoughts on rubbish like Coldplay and Ed Sheeran and that.

And I still think whoever suggested the politics pod should be called "Yes we Ken" was right.

Maybe send them a tweet or email then?

Was there much in it? I like Dublin and all but rarely listen to any sporting interview as they're all just pre done lines about 'taking games one step at a time' and praising opponents, and I can only imagine how much further into the bland it goes when you're under orders from Gavins PR man.

Very little about football, mostly about heroin.

He's had a fair bit of personal tragedy in his life - brother dying etc, etc - and he's been very open and upfront about it, he's got more to say than the majority of GAA heads flogging a book.

Does anyone know when Ken had that interview with Roy Keane where he called him out on Saipan? It's in the audio mash up. Is it available anywhere?

Take it to the next level and imagine the interview was with Stephen Cluxton. Although that may run the risk of inducing a persistent vegetative state...

I listened to the Colm Tóibín interview, and it was okay. But I listened to Eamon Dunphy's interview with him on the same topic on his podcast, it was much better, even though they covered the same ground more or less.

Ken could talk about most things and it would be entertaining.

Neville Southall becomes a social justice warrior. A week later he finds himself on second captains.

Ken went off on one again today. His personal feelings for people can shroud his judgement sometimes. Surely even the most ardent Messi fan would not agree that Ronaldo is "nowhere near" him. They're pretty feckin close in fairness

I love second captains but by god they've got their politics all wrong.

Arghus

Don't have a problem with their political views myself.

I do. It's text book student politics. Middle class boys, left leaning and pious

I'm delighted that they seem to distress/trigger the snowflakes of the right, who, as always, can't seem to engage on the merits of what's being discussed.

I'm fairly centre, like a lot of people. Identity politics is well down my list of priorities.

did you get that from a text book?

Dots1982

Ah it’s just funny. I had to unfollow people on twitter because they were retweeting every single one of Neville southall’s attention seeking tweets and then bang second captains gets him on the show.

A barrel of laughs was it anyway?

Should be banned from Internet discussions, along with 'fake news."

I believe you've mixed up what side the snowflakes are on.

Not in the slightest. For instance, see mewling above.

I'm not sure who you're referring to... I don't left or right, somewhere in the middle, you know sensible. Sensible about immigration, sensible about gender politics etc. Just because a former footballer sends out some tweets about gender identity I don't think it warrants getting him on the podcast to kiss his arse. It's ridiculous.

someone's sensible is another one's insanity.

Arghus

Everyone thinks their own political views are sensible.

No one has posted here saying it was a worthwhile interview? Is that telling or have people not listened yet?
