Ronan Brady: Episode 387

Physical artist Ronan Brady has toured the world and graced the biggest stages with his one of a kind cyr wheel performances. Today he joins Jarlath to discuss how he went from normality and comfort of being Roscommon county footballer and school teacher to a travelling circus act respected across the globe. Ronan opens up for the first time about his struggle to write his best-selling new book 'Worlds Apart' (4:00), the lack of true emotion he found while playing GAA at a county level (22:00) and his discovery of circus performance (29:00).

This is one of the most unusual yet uplifting stories ever told on Irishman Abroad.
