February 14, 2025 FROM THE ROAD TO THE RING; Gerard Healy street fighter to pro boxer to boxing promoter | Ep.120
Gerard ‘Boom Boom’ Healy is an ex-pro boxer. He talks about growing up in the notorious West Belfast area of Lenadoon. While growing up, fighting was the quickest way to earn respect in the community. Gerard gained a reputation for being one of the best fighters in the district. Although he had become known for fighting, Gerard was anything but a bully. Many of his street fights resulted from standing up for people being bullied.

Gerard’s reputation for being a good street fighter led to someone suggesting he join the boxing club. He decided to try it and instantly fell in love with the sport. Being in his early 20s meant he had a lot of ground to make up, as most of the boxers had been competing since age 11. But this didn’t him off. Gerard went all with boxing and picked up an amateur title.

He decided to turn professional, winning his debut. He mixed it with some of the best in Ireland during his career. He even fought Liverpool boxing legend and former world champion Liam Smith.

When Gerard decided to bring down the curtain on his career, he stayed involved through coaching local lads. Some of the lads had shown some ability, but they lacked experience. This led to Gerard starting his semi-pro promotion, W & H Promotions.

His promotion gets fights for people with no experience and ex-fighters.
W & H Promotions has been going from strength to strength over the years and is preparing for its biggest event. An open-air PPV show at Seaview Stadium in North Belfast.

Tune in to hear Gerard’s story.

January 24, 2025 LIVING WITH MY ABUSER: Haileigh Lamont tells her story || Ep.117
Trigger Warning: themes of psychological and sexual abuse.

Haileigh Lamont’s stepfather began grooming her when she was just 7 years old. After a few short years, he began to abuse her sexually. The abuse continued well into her teenage years, right up until she left home to start university.

Haileigh says she was too afraid to tell anyone about the abuse because her abuser told her that he’d kill her if she mentioned it to anyone. This fear kept her silent until she left home and began life as a student. She no longer had to live with the worry of being left alone with her pedophile stepfather.

This newfound freedom allowed her to enjoy her life for the first time. Living and studying away from home helped build Haileigh’s confidence. So much so that she found the strength to go to the police and tell them everything that had happened from age 7-17. The police then charged her stepfather, and he was brought in front of a judge. He was found guilty and given a custodial sentence. Haileigh’s bravery and confidence were so that she waved her right to anonymity.

After the conviction, Haileigh started ‘Renegade Advocacy,’ an organization that is dedicated to helping other victims and survivors of sexual abuse. Haileigh’s story is one of triumph.

January 17, 2025 POPPING BOTTLES TO BORN AGAIN; GED shares how he went from party boy to follower of Jesus! || Ep.116
Ged became ‘TikTok famous’ by posting his party boy antics. He was already working in the content creation space by doing online marketing for different companies. But when he moved into a penthouse apartment in Belfast city centre with friend, Geady, they decided the should post clips of the fun they were having. The videos of them hitting the Belfast club scene proved very popular and instantly made the lads online celebrities.

Everyone wanted to party with Ged and Geady. They were getting invited to nightclubs, the drinks were on the house, and so were the drugs. Their apartment became the exclusive after-hours spot; everyone wanted to be on the entry list.

While the lifestyle sounds like a young man’s dream, Ged was still feeling an emptiness inside. Something was missing, but he didn’t know what. After being invited to a church service, he felt that hole being filled. He knew he wanted to give his life to God, but he also didn’t want to miss out on the social events he had coming up with. So he tried to hold off until he couldn’t hold off. He got baptized and became born again. Since committing to his faith, Ged hasn’t been happier. He is still creating content, but now it’s all about spreading the word of Jesus.

Máirtín MacGabhann talks us through his, Dáithí’s, journey, from finding out about his rare heart condition at the 20-week scan to his emergency surgery after he was born and the numerous surgeries throughout his young life.

He tells us about the agonising wait to get his boy on the transplant list which led to him and partner, Seph, spearheading the organ donation campaign. Celebrities and sports stars, both local and worldwide, got behind the campaign and helped promote it.

The campaign was successful and resulted in ‘Daithi’s law’ being put in place. Máirtín also talks about being a proud member of the Gaeilgeoir community and playing Gaelic games during his youth. He speaks about having a conversation with the King of England and getting his support for organ donation.

He talks about the controversy over accepting an MBE whilst being from the Ballymurphy, the very republican area situated in West Belfast.
