Fair play to the lads, they deserve the rewards they are getting. I might be wrong but arent there 6 of them involved, I wonder do they split it equally and they are even hiring more staff too which is good sign
If OTB followed the same model they wouldnt make it past one month
I like the Irish as a way to end out the show.
Sure it'll be gone after today when Eoin is back anyway.
I thought this was something to wind Ken up at first but he's really doubling down on it
Ok Murph we get it you can speak Irish.
Jamie and his Simpsons references has to be a deliberate thing at this point. I think apart from one episode he's referenced the Simpsons every time I've heard him... And I'm ok with that 😁
Jamie got his Simpsons reference in early this week.
I do agree with him on the 'He's not that type of player' nonsense.
Depressing that the price of a pint is €5+VAT but we are where we are...
This quote jumps out "They have succeeded in securing a place on people’s individual media habits. That’s the key.” Most of us are creatures of habit. I love sitting into my car after work, throwing on the podcast on the commute home. I would genuinely feel a void in my life if I didn't have Second Captains. I listen to a wide variety of podcasts, and a few other sports related ones, but the first one I always go to is SC as I know what I am getting is excellent 9.5 times out of ten. For the price of a pint it is an incredible service.
€110k salary, plus director's fees, plus the extra money they get for the likes of their gigs on TV or columns/etc - they're all doing alright here. Makes me happy for them. I'm also pleased they still split things evenly...
But also, fair play to them!
I'll happily continue to provide my fiver (plus VAT 😉) for many years to come - they provide a great overall service
Holy moly how long ago is that photo in the article!
The men have aged gracefully in the meantime! :D
Delighted for them. €5 a month (plus vat) is great value for the amount of content, insight, laughs, they provide.
I reckon Eoin is gone on a two week bender to celebrate.
The longer they keep the whole thing going the better.
Fair play to them. I never feel like I'm getting short changed for the content.
Fair play to the lads, I'm delighted for them
It’s working for them. I’d love them to push the boat out and try doing the odd live watch along and drink along of big games rather than always a daily podcast format but probably not going to tinker with a winning format.
Great, they deserve it. Nice one.

I pay for it. Their world service feed comes in hours after the "free" one does for me so I end up listening to that more often than not.
As Bill Burr would say: "Oh, you have a problem with my FREE podcast?"
I don't think I know any free podcasts without ads.
Great GAA pod yesterday, Paul and Oisin are top notch
Did notice Murph trying to out trump Ken with his Irish sign off again, as discussed by other previously but Murph has done a decent job in the absence of Eoin
Miguel's is very noticeable. I don't think anyone here is moaning about it for the sake it, he's currently their most regular football contributor but has the worst audio. He should make some attempt to fix it Tim Vickery, Dion Fanning, Jonathan Wilson etc don't have any issues with their sound
On headphones
Do you listen on a poor speaker like your phone?
The sound quality is awful and he could fix it for a couple of hundred quid and making sure he's in a room with lots of soft furnishings.
Am I the only one who doesn't even notice these audio problems until I come here and read about it?
Yeah, I really don't understand why he doesn't get a decent mic.
I don't mind Miguel, but a long term gripe has been the fact his phone line or whatever mode of communication he is using is unfailingly awful. As a professional journalist who appears on multiple podcasts a week it's really not good enough.
Miguel seemed to be dialled in from a submarine in the Mariana Trench yesterday.
What do you think of the journos who turned up at the LIV golf event last weekend and asked questions ? Do you think they should have stayed away if they believed it was a sportwashing exercise for the Saudi regime ?
For example, see below.... So turn up and ask questions or stay at home and tweet stuff about it.
