    Great chat with Michael Foley yesterday, I thought.
    Downloaded his podcast series as well, be interesting to hear about the events of 100 years ago in podcast form. Find it easier than reading articles or information online

    The book is fantastic

    Ya, was fascinating to listen to him. Very passionate speaker too. Will have to go grab his podcast.

    Yeah it's an excellent book. I'm interested to hear what the podcast is like.

    I just searched for the Bloodied Field in the podcast app so I would say wherever your podcasts are you can search for it there. It’s also on Spotify now that I’ve searched there to check

    Looks like the return of the Isolating podcast will be in Dublin rather than Achill with his parents.

    Still good to have it back tomorrow but it would have been great to be back in Achill for vegetable garden update & music with his father.

    I wonder is there any prospect of the lads returning to two podcasts on a Monday now that there is quite a lot of sport taking place each weekend.

    I hope Eoins “drunk at the bar” is a regular character/feature on shows from now on.

    Released a football pod today. Still have the weekend's GAA and rugby to cover. Last few weeks they've usually done GAA on a Tuesday and rugby on Wednesday I think.

    I agree though it's defnitely time for 2 pods on a Monday now.

    Is the Bloodied Field podcast worth listening to if you have already read the book?

    Don't really understand how Ken thinks Jota's first goal should have stood. Was a fairly obvious foul

    He probably saw three bodies throw themselves at the ball and pretty much all of them clatter into each other. It's not very clear, to me, that Mane was the only one who committed an offence.

    I have previously read the book but I have forgotten most of it. Listened to the first two of these and it really brings it to life. Great production on it too.

    Might be just my phone, but the volume appears too low. Struggle to hear it when walking outside if any kind of loud noise is close by i.e car or strong gust of wind.

    Besides that, really enjoying it so far

    Rant alert: they seem to always spend an AGE dissecting Man Utd, OGS, and Pogba after a United defeat. Basically the whole Monday show?

    They tried to stay on arsenal in fairness but United are the bigger "story".

    ps totally agree about going back to two pods on monday i'd almost forgotten that was a thing

    Ah, yeah, I wouldn't pay too much heed. He might have a point, but I think writing City off completely is just plain silly.

    I vividly remember him picking Newcastle United to win the league in 03 back when he wrote for the Sindo. Newcastle were a way better team back then, but even then you knew that a was a daft prediction. So I've always doubted his prediction game.

    Sure what are predictions really. An absolute shot to nothing and a talking point more than anything.

    Ken wading in with some trolling hot-takes improved the rugby chat immeasurably.

    Was nice having the dream team of Wilson and Brewin on today’s pod. In my opinion they should be on together more often. They definitely used to be regularly on the same pod a couple of years ago

    I don't mind Brewin, but he is a bit dour. Focuses on the negative a lot.

    Was just gonna post how much I liked having both on the show, particularly liking Brewin. He's sincere, funny and nice to listen to. Don't necessarily agree with them being dour. - I actually find him kinda merry at times! He's nowhere near Wilson levels, or Barney Ronay (who I like) or the god awful Barry Glendenning. Found it nice how Brewin knew of Eoin's jokingly fondness of Moyes. He must listen to the show a good bit himself.
