Second Captains Part II

I do love any time there's a 'Keys to the Kingdom' segment. I've never actually gone to the trouble of reading it, but it always seems to confirm what a tool he is.

What episode was this, I missed it.

Anyone else notice that when Rory Smith is on he constantly slaps his hands together or something similar as you can hear it throughout?

I noticed too, I thought he was clicking a pen.

Ep 2004...

I love a good auld Paul Kimmage interview on Second Captains. DOD's interview with him was thoroughly enjoyable, he did a great job with it and Kimmage, as always, didn't hold back and made an interesting guest. It was not as intense as when Kimmage appeared on the Player's Chair with Richie, nor was I expecting it to be, but it still had moments of someone letting their guard down - such as the segment when he mentions his brother.

I was surprised at the nature of the interview, it just seemed like two blokes shooting the breeze (or to quote Eoin's overused phrase from last week "Shooting the sh!t") and the it was a lot more of a conversational format than the standard 'Interviewer & Interviewee' approach.

DOD was a brilliant interviewer. Didn't expect him to be so good, although obviously Kimmage was extremely giving. They had a nice moment at the end talking about DODs dad etc. Good heart to the conversation.

Wasn't going to listen at all, no interest in cycling. Only did out of loyalty to the Isolating podcast.

15 mins in, I'm thinking about buying a bike.

Yeah it was very accessible even if you're not a big cycling fan. After about 40 mins I had jabbed my arse with EPO and gone tearing off up a mountain.

It was a brilliant companion piece to Sadlier's interview, which was also brilliant. The difference here was that O'Doherty is a huge cycling fan so by extension it was easier to come across as two cycling fans shooting the breeze.

There was a lot of honesty and reflection from both sides, a genuine pleasure to listen to.

Couldn't listen to any of those DOD isolation casts but this interview with Kimmage is a great piece of work.

But then I always love listening to Kimmage.

Kimmage is such a compelling guest you could hear his real anger and real hurt in some parts and DOD really just let him talk and they gelled very well, more enjoyable than Sadlier interview as DOD was a geniune fan of cycling and his enthusiasm came across with his anecdotes

Great stuff

i listened to this while out on a run. i found the part about his brother hit me very hard. compelling as always with kimmage. superb stuff.

Has Kimmage ever been a regular guest on SC? I love listening to him, wish he was on more often (but not too often 😂)

Hit me hard as well. One of the things that always makes my blood run cold is stories of people leaving home for mundane routine activities and never coming home..

DOD and kimmage was a great pod - I love a good cycling book always find them compelling (but not a cyclist).

Why it worked I felt dod knew loads of really specific stuff that just wasnt handed to him by a researcher.. kimmage really opened up too

Yeah very unlike Richie who just brings everything back to himself.
