Eoin McDevitt and Ciarán Murphy are trying to find the Greatest Non-Sportsperson Sportsperson. Guests from around the world reflect on the sporting experiences of their past, their highlights and lowlights, before having their sporting lives ranked on air. From the multi-award winning team behind the hugely popular SC podcast, Second Captains Saturday on RTÉ Radio 1 is the perfect mix of culture, sport, comedy and music. Listen back below to the incredible roster of guests over the years and some fascinating conversations with a difference.  Former competitors include Malcolm Gladwell, Brendan Gleeson, Sharon Horgan, Conan O’Brien, Anne Enright, Dorothy Cross, Senator George Mitchell, Michael Sheen and Irvine Welsh (reigning champ for 2024 is the "crafty" club tennis player Ardal O’Hanlon).
