On episode 224 I am delighted to be joined by one of the most recognisable voices in football broadcasting and US media Kevin Egan.

From writing a letter to RTE aged 15 from St. Fintan's High School, to becoming a runner in RTE working with his heroes he would later move to the United States and carved out a career in local broadcasting. He rose to prominence with beIN SPORTS, covering major competitions like the Champions League and La Liga, and also worked in WWE.

Known for his sharp analysis, engaging storytelling, and deep passion for the game, Kevin has built a reputation as a trusted and insightful presenter. He is currently the Studio host for MLS on Apple TV.

But beyond the bright lights, Kevin brings a real honesty about the path — the risks taken, his move abroad, and what it actually takes to build a career in sport and media. We compare sports broadcasting in the US vs Ireland, the American sports culture, insights for aspiring analysts or contributors, what a producer is looking for and more.
