Talking Bollox Podcast

Craig was one of our first guests when we started the podcast and we recorded with him in a salon - We've come a long way and Craig has been on his own journey leading up to his recent fight in the 3Arena.

Addiction and a life of crime seemed to be on the cards for Craig but boxing and the commitment the sport demands took him down a different path and changed his life for the better. He now uses his experience for the good in his role as a youth worker.

He told us about meeting Dana White, the fights he's hoping for in the new year and everything else he's looking forward to in the future.

We’re back. After a long hiatus, the bonus episodes return. To ease ourselves back into the swing of things, Terry opens up with a list of grievances he’s built up during his time away from the studio.

Calvin has his own list, of the growing number of examples of “The Talking Bollox Effect” being seen around the world.

We have some interesting facts about world altering coincidences, and potentially lethal sounds, and Terry accidentally wanders into heartbreak as he casts Kusi in the wrong Hollywood blockbuster.

Calvin has a dark vision for a potential gameshow format, and despite his best efforts Terence dreams up Saturday night TV entertainment that’s unavoidably crimey.

In a special episode of Talking Bollox the lads have teamed up with Science week 2024 for a chat about gene editing.

What exactly is it? What can it be used for? What are the future plans for it's use and are reports of a future of 'designer babies' true or false?

To answer these and many other questions the boys are joined by Annie Curtis, a Professor of Circadian Immunology at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences to brilliantly break it all down.
