Joe is joined by Ruaidhri O'Connor from Canberra and Eddie O'Sullivan to reflect on the Lions' win over the Brumbies. Despite a decent night for the Irish and a fourth consecutive victory on Australia soil, Ruaidhri and Eddie both think the Lions are a long way off their best.

40 years of low fares and high drama: How Ryanair changed Europe one controversy at a time

40 years ago this week, at 8.30am on July 8, 1985, a 15-seater aircraft with a full complement of passengers took off from Waterford airport to London Gatwick on the inaugural flight of a new Irish airline called Ryanair. Air travel, and in some ways Ireland itself, would never be the same again. Fast forward four decades and you’d be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn’t travelled with Ryanair and, let's be honest, complained about them. But, despite the extra charges, minimal leg room and marketing stunts, we just keep coming back for more. Host: Kevin Doyle Guest: John Mulligan See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is Netflix trying to take over live sport? | Katie Taylor sets sights on Serrano three-peat 🥊

Acclaimed Irish boxing analyst Eric Donovan is on hand to assess this weekend's headline meeting between Katie Taylor & Amanda Serrano, as two of the sport's modern greats renew hostilities at Madison Square Garden. Joe & Ronan also delve back into the controversy which shrouded the first Taylor-Serrano sequel, Rosie Perez's inexplicable role in that, and the overall appetite for another rematch. Our e̶r̶s̶t̶w̶h̶i̶l̶e̶ esteemed colleague Dave Hanratty from the wider Indo podcast network also stops by to chart the extent to which Netflix's continued [and growing] involvement in sport is a portent of more significant things to come from the streaming giant.

The bankrupt Dublin Jeweller, the fake gems and the missing diamonds

In recent weeks, The Sunday Independent revealed that a customer took legal action against Empress Fine Jewels, which was ordered to pay her nearly €35,000, after diamond rings she entrusted to the store were reported stolen while being taken by a pensioner to another location to be cleaned. She received a call the next day from the jeweller, telling her the rings had been stolen from the pensioner on a Dublin Bus. Another customer of the same Dublin-based jeweller was “disappointed but not surprised” to learn that a €3,000 emerald and diamond ring she purchased contains fake gemstones. Ali Bracken joins Kevin Doyle to speak about her investigation into Empress Fine Jewels. Host; Kevin Doyle, Guest; Ali Bracken See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
