I love this podcast!

Top class podcast! The contributors use clear language that means us non-rugby players can understand what’s being said. I look forward to my Friday morning walks to bring them along.

Love it, love it, love it.

Generally ok but forget it behind a paywall

I understand they are going behind a paywall. I used to listen to Newstalk golf podcast with spawells Damian McGrane (?) etc but then they went to acast? And behind a €3.99 paywall. Forget it. These subscriptions at €50 per year are poor value compared to Spotify and Netflix. Goodbye Newstalk golf ( who wants to listen to Troy Merritt) and Murray. You guys clearly (for me) do not understand price elasticity Of demand and your show is not worth adding to increasing subscription gouging on our limited $$$$.

Hugely Munster-centric. Will probably unsubscribe soon as most content going to paid membership only.
