Former Limerick hurler Seamus Flanagan joins us for a quick chat about just how tough Kilkenny’s Daragh Joyce was to mark — and what might have been for the Cats had he not headed for the AFL.

He also gives his take on this year’s championship and why, in his view, we badly need two high‑quality semi‑finals.

Derek Lyng stepped down just hours after last week’s podcast was recorded, so this episode captures Mickey and Eddie’s first reaction.
