Late last month, we travelled to south Derry to spend an evening embedded with CLG Sleacht Néill to learn about the ties that bind the community and the GAA. From longstanding club members, to All Star footballers, to the next generation, Joe chatted to people of all different ages to get an insight into why Slaughtneil is driven by not only maintaining and excelling in all four codes, but also a love of the Irish language and how the GAA can bring people together.

Mickey Ned O’Sulluvan joins Michael Verney for a special tribute episode for Pat Spillane, who this week turned the big 7-0. Spillane recalls memories of his start in Kerry, the hit that made him the man who picked up Sam Maguire in place of Mickey Ned, and the phone call O’Sullivan made to drop Spillane from the Kerry squad - and the fire that ignited inside him. There are also memories of recovering from a cruciate injury in the 1980s, the transition to television and the difference between what you see on screen and the real Pat Spillane.

Dublin football legend Ciaran Whelan joins Joe in studio to chat about his memorable life and times. A self-acknowledged 'Dublin Inbetweener' who missed out on All-Ireland glory during his time in blue, he relives the emotions of watching his former teammates end a 16-year wait for Sam Maguire, the indelible marks of near misses which predated 2011, and some of the iconic games he partook in during the vibrant nineties & noughties. Ciaran also talks about how football has evolved during his time in punditry, the critiques which have followed, and his recent ascent to the rank of Sunday Game 'senior analyst'.
