When Paul Kimmage sat down with Richie Sadlier for an episode of the Player’s Chair, we were unsure just how it would go. What we got was an emotional roller-coaster as Richie and Paul talked about where the anger and passion that drives Paul’s best work comes from, visiting Tom Humphries in jail, and the loss of Paul’s father, who he still misses terribly.
‘But part of it is in the act of turning the pedals, how that helps me process the things that can overwhelm me when my feet are on the ground.’

I loved today’s @secondcaptains pod which featured Eamon Dunphy & the phenomenally good @damiendelaney8 reviewing ‘Only A Game?’. One of my favourite shows of 2018?????????????https://t.co/aXCn8koH31 pic.twitter.com/UzizLCPwCw— Mark Horgan (@Younghorgan) December 20, 2018
Eoin fears Mike Phelan may be the victim of baldism…..
