John Duddy was once the most famous Irishman living in New York when he made the brave move there to become a professional boxer. The rest is history.

John outlines how Conor McGregor abused boxing for his own needs (1:16:00) while also explaining that his love for the sport suffered following a fallout with his management (14:00).

Last year, Annalise Murphy won a silver medal in the Rio Olympics and her journey to get there was far from plain sailing. In this conversation, Annalise speaks about how she very nearly packed it all in just months before she won silver (11:00), dealing with sexism in sport (44:00) and her difficulties with being on a diet for the last eight years (12:00).
Annalise explains the importance in letting kids come to a sport, rather than forcing it on them (9:00) and the incredible sacrifices that she has made for her love of sailing (36:00). From the surprising career path she wishes to take upon her retirement from the sport (42:00), to being conscious of her role as an ambassador for Irish female athletes (34:00) and the pressure of protecting her public image (52:00), this episode offers a rare glimpse into the mindset of one of Ireland's hardest working athletes.

Tadhg Kennelly is a man who truly knows the highs and lows of a life in sport, not to mention the passion and dedication that it demands. This week Tadhg joined Jarlath to speak about his sports-mad background, which saw him have a stint at Blackburn Rovers at the age of 15 (3:00) before setting his sights on pro-football in Australia (9:00), which he left behind 10 years later to return to Ireland with the sole aim of winning an All-Ireland medal with Kerry (30:00).
Tadhg speaks frankly about how winning the All-Ireland became an obsession (40:00), how he spent 9 months learning how to kick the round ball once more (38:00) and the origins behind his "f*ck the begrudgers" attitude (10:00). From explaining the reasons behind why he felt more pressure in one year in Kerry than he did in 10 years playing professional down-under (48:00) to revealing the truth behind hitting Nicholas Murphy in the jaw (56:00) and much, much more, this is a fascinating conversation with one of Ireland's biggest sporting exports.

As an aspiring journalist growing up in Northern Ireland, Jonathan Drennan could only dream to one day write for a local newspaper. Now living in Sydney, Jonathan writes for the Irish Times and The Guardian, having also been a correspondent for Australia’s Channel 7. To say Jonathan struggled with his mental health is an understatement, this week he outlines his battle with depressive tendencies despite growing up in a positive family environment (4:00) and how it eventually led to him being numb to everything while captaining a rugby team in London aged 26 (9:00).
Jonathan explains his incredible meeting with Freddie Roach, which was helped by the boxing legend’s mother taking a shine to him (26:00) and why his take on the furore surrounding Tyson Fury is not in line with the popular opinion (32:00). With a refreshing honesty, Jonathan also speaks frankly about the process of understanding one’s emotional triggers (50:00) and the true impact of Irish people over-doing it when it comes to self-deprecating humour (51:00).
