Canham’s Final Deadline, Lovin’ Football, Lovely Hurling
Welcome to our weekly World Service taster menu which this week included Ken on Canham, making football great again. Bohs beating Rovers, Paul Flynn on fabulous football, Liam Rushe and Jamie Wall on hurling’s hectic draws, and we have “fun and games” coming on Friday too.
Click the player at the top of the page to play the show. Monday’s shows are free to all. To listen to our programming throughout the rest of the week, join the Second Captains World Service. There’s no contracts, no hidden fees and shows can be listened to on all good podcast apps, on Spotify or through our website. It’s independent, commercial-free and member-led with feature interviews, breaking news, Ken’s Football Show, The Politics Podcast, The “I’ll Tell You Who Wrote It” Book Club and lots of added extras. You’ll also be supporting the development of our longer-form work, such as our international series’ ‘Where Is George Gibney?’ and Stakeknife.
Today we’re joined by one of our best young writers, John Patrick McHugh to speak about his first novel, Fun and Games, which puts Gaelic football right at the heart of its story. pic.twitter.com/Hlj7oMwDpc
