    Have only had a chance to listen to the first 10 minutes of yesterday's pod so far over breakfast. Brilliant stuff!

    Ken really is the gift that keeps on giving :D

    Has anyone tried to use the new Google podcast app to listen to world service I have been using pocketcasts but can't see a way of adding it in the Google one?

    One thing that has come up alot in this thread is Ken's obsession with both footballer and manager quotes. I've brought it up myself a few times in this thread and for once I'm not bitching about them! But it dawned on me yesterday.... He actually really finds these quotes genuinely interesting. That almost should go without saying considering how often he talks about them but jaysus it really only struck me yesterday. I can't remember the last time i bothered watching any manager or player press conference, they're almost always ridiculously dull and the object of the exercise is to say alot while saying nothing. Fair play to him I suppose,whatever makes ya happy.

    I found the golf talk on Wednesday boring enough, but the first ten minutes of yesterday made up for it, Ken was being a knob at the airport, just get to the back of the queue and wait, ya eejit!

    Apart from the "Raheem Sterling hippy crack!" I can't remember laughing so much at a story, especially Pogba's 'who the f*ck is this fella' reaction, can't wait to hear the jingle Horgan makes out of it.

    I've been listening since late 2006 and Ken has always been psycho analysing managers quotes.

    Devastating news ken is departing, guess his irish times gig is taking up too much of his time. Subscriptions will take a massive hit.

    It's a bit weird in fairness. You would expect him to have more free time now the world cup is over.

    ken isn't leaving, or if he is, that wasn't the announcement. just second captains live on august 9th.

    if ken left, i'd cancel my sub immediately. it's the ken early show for me. i wonder do they share profits 5 ways? if i was ken, i'd be wanting the lions share of the money

    Jesus Christ lads! I nearly had a stroke when I read that. Ken leaving would really have put the lid on a sh1t week.

    No it's not true, I was getting flashbacks to the 4th of March 2013 for a minute there.

    That was a dark day.

    Although it worked out for the best. Probably.

    It still irks me when I hear the current OTB lads responding to texts, though. That was probably the SC lads greatest strength, they were hilarious at it.

    I can't stand second captains. They've reach this point now where they're just preaching to the choir with their show.

    Devitt is good. Early just tries to be aristotle. Ciaran I can't listen to.... Just speaks at a hundred miles an hour and he has a lisp.

    I don't listen to them but housemate always has them going and it drives me mad. Much prefer the off the ball lads. They're cleaning up though... They must be making 150k from the podcast alone each.

    Anyone else recognise the old jingle on the pod today from the OTB days? I think it was the 'what's coming up on the football show' and Ken had to give a synopsis in about 30 seconds. I miss those little bits from the radio show.

    I'd say 99% of people are subbed just for Ken's take on the football. They're not subbing for that constant wet mouth droning on about the GAA. I think I originally subbed for players chair. Wtf happened that?!

    I love Ken, but he does his best work talking to the lads. When he's on his own, even when he's interviewing people, it's not as much fun.

    They did 14 players chairs in 12 months so they took a break to let it average out? I dunno. I'd imagine he is on hols after the WC.
