Welcome to the first solo episode of the Off The Lead podcast. I've been toying with this idea for a while now and lent gave me the excuse to bite the bullet and give it a lash. So let me know what you think, good or bad. Without a guest I've no self correcting mechanism so I'm very much on my own and could do with a bit of a point in the right direction. Tell me what you like/dislike, what you'd like to hear more or less of etc.Either way, hopefully you'll enjoy them as your getting another 39 of them whether you like them or not!Get engaged and send me an email - [email protected] off the lead,Fran.

This episode could be summarised as a 'tech' episode, but we also somehow managed to squeeze in porn, the Tànaiste, racism, , 'summoning the demon' and lots, lots more!Des is one of a kind and most certainly a man Off The Lead.Check out his YouTube channel {not representative of what's on YouTube} if you have a sense of humor and no patience https://www.youtube.com/user/ogdezAs always, I hope you're enjoying these conversations.

Kev is a 'car enthusiast' (he really didn't like being introduced as a 'boy racer'). We went deep into the world of 'twin cams' and motor sport generally. I was amazed at the width and breath of the term 'car enthusiast' and could have talked endlessly to him.His enthusiasm is contagious and he has since opened up a whole new world to me. So much so, that early in the new year we intend to go round the Nürburg ring in Germany. The world's most famous (and possibly most dangerous) race track.As always, I hope your enjoying these conversations. Any and all feedback is much appreciated and can be sent to [email protected] off the lead,Fran.

Roger is a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt under the infamous Marcelo Garcia. As well as being an absolute ANIMAL on the mats Roger is a complete gent. The atmosphere he's created in his gym is second to none and the welcome I received by his members is a tribute to both Roger and Paul Fox {another MG Black Belt}, who between them run the Royal Grappling Academy {www.rga.ie}.In this episode we talk about his journey from training in traditional martial arts to competing on the world stage in BJJ and how Brazilian Jiu Jitsu {BJJ} might not be for everyone but is absolutely for everybody to try. A true ambassador of the sport and great craic, despite his apparent grumpiness!Comments and recommendations etc to [email protected] for listening and your continued support, over 1,000 downloads across 16 countries and growing every week!Fran.
