Episode 1656: It’s a Saint Stephen (Kenny) Day Special
If it’s St Stephen’s Day, then it simply must be time to play our brilliant interview with Stephen Kenny, our current Ireland u-21 manager, soon to be our next senior manager.

Stephen spoke to us in front of a packed house at our final Liberty Hall live show earlier in the month, and this is one not to be missed, as his passion for his current job – and his next one – shine through in every answer.

We discuss his advice to young players, why loan deals can be a poisoned chalice, why you shouldn’t be punished for being an Irishman, his commitment to his attacking philosophy, and how the u-21s performances have been a rare bright spot for Irish football this year.

As ever, our stuff from the live shows comes courtesy of O’Hara’s Brewery in Co Carlow – and there’s also Die Hard, yoga, and shirtless Murph, live from the Second Captains log cabin.

Why did the simple Tory messaging cut through? Was there ever a path to success for Labour? And what might the outcome mean for Scotland and Northern Ireland?https://t.co/as9bIxds5K pic.twitter.com/5k0VVh3sMa
