Joe in NYC, The Finale | Madison Square Garden magic, reading lines with Robert De Niro – John Duddy’s one-off journey

On today's episode of the podcast, we bring you Joe Molloy's last dispatch from New York City, where he caught up with former Irish boxing star John Duddy. After leaving Derry for New York at 21 to pursue a professional career, Duddy became a favourite among the city's Irish community, headlining Madison Square Garden four times. On the verge of a world title, he shocked boxing by retiring at just 31, insisting the passion for fighting was gone. Now 47, Duddy has rediscovered his love for the sport as a coach at Trinity Boxing Club, working with everyone from aspiring fighters to Parkinson's patients. Along the way, he's also built a successful acting career, appearing alongside Robert De Niro no less. Joe meets John in downtown Manhattan to discuss that remarkable journey, and the fulfilling second act he's built beyond the ring.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The DJ Carey Story Part 2: The Cancer Lies

It’s the mid-2000s and hurler DJ Carey is still playing at the top of his game for Kilkenny. He’s divorced from his wife Christine but is in a new relationship with the multi-millionaire Dragons’ Den star, Sarah Newman. They’re one of the Celtic Tiger’s golden couples, and Carey is fast becoming famous for his off-the-pitch activities. He is living the high life, owning several properties in some of the most exclusive addresses in Ireland and abroad. But not everything was as perfect as it appeared. The financial crash of 2008 hit the country hard, and Carey was not immune to the global meltdown. His businesses were coming under strain, as was his relationship with Sarah Newman, and soon stories about Carey’s health would circulate privately - stories that Carey would tell sympathetic people as he convinced them to part with their money. Today on The Indo Daily, we bring you the second episode from our special three-part documentary on the rise and fall of DJ Carey. This episode of The Indo Daily was first released in November 2025.

Extra: Inside the court as Daniel Kinahan charged and jailed

Daniel Kinahan sounded bemused when he described the frenzy around his life as “movie stuff”, but the scenes that accompanied his trip back to Ireland were undeniably cinematic. A trip on a €53m government jet that was tracked by the public in real-time, a ring of steel around parts of Dublin as he was escorted in a bomb-proof convoy, and a long-awaited appointment at the Criminal Courts of Justice. Perhaps the most surprising aspect, however, was the alleged criminal kingpin’s affable back and forth with the judge. So, where does Daniel Kinahan go from here? The Irish Independent’s news and security correspondent, Robin Schiller, was present to see it all unfold. He joins host Kevin Doyle on this Extra episode of The Indo Daily to break it down.
