- He's hit the net more than any Kerry player in history. His accolades are outstanding. Clifford is chasing him down, but hasn't caught him yet. With club and County, Mikey Sheehy achieved it all. One of the greatest Gaelic footballers of all time. This is his life, his story and and what he's learned along the way. The Ups of success, the downs of missing a penalty in the 1982 All-Ireland final against Offaly. The day the dream for five died. The close connection to the Dublin team, growing up and his take on this current Kerry team. His admiration for Mick O'Dwyer and who is the greatest of them all? The great Mikey Sheehy (and Cara, the most well behaved grandchild in the world) on the GAA Social. Lovely

- Three Ulster championships as a player for Tyrone and starring on the biggest day. The 1986 All-Ireland final in Croke Park, didn't work out after the break against Kerry, but Noel McGinn was pure authority in a defence filled with hard men. He was a successful player, school principal and someone respected in gaelic games and in life. He managed Dromore to their first ever county championship- but he refuses to say he "led them." An infamous incident against Clonoe almost cost Noel his job and it's his one big regret. But he's owned it, hasn't hidden and in this honest account of a life in football, Noel McGinn reveals so much about who he is as a person- and there's plenty to admire and love. He's now living with Parkinson's disease, but he looks upon himself as "lucky." This is the story of positivity, life and being a good man. A man interviewing the young and old in Tyrone for TeamTalk. What's that? The great Noel McGinn from Killyclogher

Emma has Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), most managers in womens Gaelic games are men. So, are we in tune to have these conversations? Honest, fair and insightful, this podcast will illuminate the challenges our female athletes must overcome and hopefully, we can bring a little learning along the way. There's much more, Emma transferred to St Vincent's and explains why and there's also love. Conor Burke, Dublin hurler and by the sounds of it, a pretty decent bloke too. A lovely podcast.
