The Athenry Junction Podcast SonicHam Media

The Athenry Junction Podcast, the podcast equivalent of Iarnród Éireann. Rarely on time, uncomfortable, and smells a little bit.


The podcast gets over the mid-30's hump as the boys try and rearrange the furniture on the Titanic to try and give themselves some credibility. This week, the boys are joined by immensely talented Co. Tipperary Singer/Songwriter and all round sound man Cormac Looby. Cormac discusses the how he has navigated the pandemic, how his songs are forged into existence, and why Japanese Fart Music will be the sound of 2021. Padraig reminisces on the boys old band 9 Ideas, while Cormac calls Dylan out for name-dropping. Daire also ponders why Cormac hates him.

The Athenry Junction Podcast, the podcast equivalent of driving a Nissan Micra round the Nurburgring. You may not make it to the end but you'll have a story to tell atleast.

This week, the boys decided to open open the door to the echo chamber of sadness, and despite the smell of farts and mouldy Boojum wrappers, Caolán Walsh walked in and began to put his thoughts inside us. Friend of the Show™ Caolán makes his long-waited debut on the Athenry Junction Podcast, discussing the return of the Boom and its implications for terraforming Mars, the works of Carl Jung, and assisted by Dylan brings us a spectacular TWTBWS on Adrenochrome. Daire puts on record the influence of the TAJP on worldwide crypto prices. Wish.com makes its much anticipated return in a blaze of incoherence and poorly translated Mandarin thanks to Padraig, while The Mandela Effect and Shane McGowan's Chronic Orthodontal Hydroplosion also get a doing. Ye might want to wear a Johnny for this one.

Dylan and Padraig tog out in a two man full forward line as Daire has enough sense to take a break from this every now and again. This week, Padraig reminisces on an unhealthy energy drink addiction and Dylan tells people not to cook themselves in "That's what the boys were saying". Daft Punk, Justice for Jack Carty, and the post-Covid landscape all get a looking at. It's a scattered one this week.

The under-funded live action muppet show that is this podcast crawls into it's mid-thirties and has all the battle scars to show it. The boys wonder where it all went wrong as they lose the diesel money for the week investing in DogeCoin. Padraig gets nostalgic about Pimp My Ride, Dylan can't quite figure out how the internet works and questions the Irish Rugby Team selection*, and Daire pokes a few holes in the alleged work of a child genius. *These comments have aged very very well.

The Connacht Snap, Crackle and Pop are back again this week to numb the torture of existence with another hour of absolute manure chat. Dylan gets very detailed on the diet of strongman Eddie Hall, Padraig gets all Stephen King when discussing the impact of lockdown on his local pubs, and Daire considers who'd he get a bating from for a few pound.

The malnourished, 3 legged, covid-riddled collie pup that is this podcast stumbles its way into a fourth calendar year. The three bucks are back to confuse and annoy the listener once more. Padraig gets introspective about small talk, Daire delivers a sad piece of news relating to the fuel prices, and Dylan chairs the first meeting of the Mec Lir fan club, as the boys get scientific about their latest album, "LiveWire"
