Dara Ó Cinnéide- All-Ireland winning Kerry captain. Turning 50. Life
Dara has turned 50- what does that mean? In this podcast we explore life in Kerry. A child star growing up- who made it! Now it's chairman of the club, helping out with the senior team, climbing mountains and digging into a very delicate question- what actually is Gaelic football, what does it say about us and what does it really mean? There's plenty of craic along the way, Kerry's chances in 2025, losing out to Oisin's Armagh in 2002, working in media and an insight into the great Páidí Ó Sé. Apart from anything else, this man has one of the greatest voices in broadcasting- and what a footballer too.

Galway-Mayo Clinker, Title 86 for Kerry- Skorts or strike?
What could have been for Mayo in a frantic Connacht final. They had their chances but Galway came through- led by the superb Paul Conroy and Cillian McDaid. There were others. Their reward is the group of death. As for Kerry, it was more straight forward in Killarney- but Kerry look really good. In the camogie Leinster semi-final, both Kilkenny and Dublin players wore 'shorts' not 'skorts' and the game was almost abandoned. The game eventually took place, after the players changed into skorts. Are we looking at strike action next?

Jimmy Barry Murphy. One of the most successful GAA players of all-time. All-Ireland winning manager, the glory of Cork hurling and still involved at 70 years young. This was a brilliant sit down with JBM. All-star trips, the best he ever played against, dealing with the hurt of criticism, dog racing, dropping players, a son coaching in the Premier League, Denis Irwin as a footballer and hurler with St Finbarr's and being the best mate of Roy Keane (kind of)It’s a packed podcast with one of the most genuine people you could ever hope to meet. Is there a better accent in Ireland than Cork? The great Jimmy Barry Murphy on the GAA Social Podcast

Conor Gormley- A Tyrone rivalry with Oisin & Armagh explained. A Brilliant listen
Two men who really didn't like each other sit down in a room. This is some podcast. Conor Gormley won three All-Ireland's with Tyrone and when the Armagh rivalry was at it's height- he was the enforcer. He marked the dangermen and said the 2005 All-Ireland semi-final was the most intense game of his life. Gormley, quiet by nature explains being overlooked by Mickey Harte as a minor, exploding onto the scene because he marked Peter Canavan at club level and feeling almost bitter about saying goodbye to Tyrone. He struggled to watch them for years. Oisin named Gormley, Ryan McMenamin and Brian Dooher in his autobiography for 'verbals' we explore that touchy subject. Conor also explains the moment when his father took a heart attack during a club game. Conor jumped the wire and attached the defib. We talk ‘that block’ against Steven McDonnell in 2003. It was the moment, which secured a first Sam Maguire for Tyrone. On the week Tyrone play Armagh in an Ulster semi-final, we look ahead to that game from an iconic footballer. One, until now, we knew very little about. 15,000 eggs a day, a hurler, refusing drink, and the question he asks his kids after every game. It's Conor Gormley like you've never heard him before
