Episode 1727: The Japanese 40-Year Olympic Curse, Murph And Mal’s Movie Club, Beethoven And David O’Doherty, Eoin’s Marathon Tales
It’s been a long week for people, but spare a thought for the organisers of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics. Their relentless (and almost entirely baseless) positivity has inspired us all, but they’ve been working under a dark cloud – that of the Olympic curse that strikes Japan every 40 years. We reveal all on today’s show.

Murph and Malachy Clerkin join forces for a new slot which aims to answer the question on everyone’s lips – “any good Netflix recommendations?”
Ken is eager to tell us about the complicated but incomplete legacy of the composer Ludwig Van Beethoven, plus there’s the video-tape given to every man, woman and child in Monaghan, Spurs v Anderlecht in the 1984 UEFA Cup final, Eoin’s marathon tales, and O’Driscoll’s hat trick night.
