Episode 3087: Richie Hogan Takes The Mic, LOI-Mania, Club Jordan Core Memory

Richie Hogan is one of the most spectacular hurlers of this century, a player who gave us as many ‘wow’ moments as anyone else in the last couple of decades.  And he’s in the studio to talk to us about his new book “Whatever It Takes.”

We discuss his willingness to go toe-to-toe with Brian Cody, to challenge him on tactics and on team selection, in the process giving us a far more nuanced view of Cody than we’ve ever gotten before.  And there’s the red card in the 2019 All-Ireland final, and why the cost to his body was worth it for the success he had on the field.

Plus there’s Frances Murphy’s TV Guide, Miguel Delaney parachuting in for the League of Ireland finale, Club Jordan, and Sean Gannon’s ridiculous trophy cabinet
