In the first episode of his podcast, a fundraiser for Temple Street Children's Hospital (Donate here!), Mike Quirke is joined by American basketball coach Rus Bradburd. Having been an assistant coach at top-level colleges in the States, he later moved to Ireland to take up the role of head coach with the Tralee Tigers. He reflects on his time living here, how being a "terrible player" in high school got him into coaching and his current career as a writer.
