Episode 3056: Dara Ó Briain’s Summer Of Sport, Selling Irishness, J’adore Inchicore, Vince Watch
We have all nurtured dreams of checking out of normal life and spending an entire summer going from one major sporting event to another. And this summer, Dara Ó Briain did just that.
Well that was just incredible. I genuinely don’t think I’ve ever been at a more consistently tense sports event. The margins of error are minuscule. And such a sweet, deserved win. No wonder he’s grinning! pic.twitter.com/xcLepg7Eat

He spoke to us at the EartH theatre in Hackney earlier this month about attending the Euros, the All-Ireland Hurling Final, and the Olympics in Paris in one magical three-week spell.
We also discuss hurling on the BBC with Dara and Oisin, meeting Michael Johnson, Paul Mescal’s big baller move and the most tense 46 seconds of Olympic sport ever witnessed.
Plus there’s Inchicore – it’s so hot right now, and Eoin sets out some time in his hectic schedule to binge-watch the new Vince McMahon documentary series on Netflix.
