This podcast is so close to being required listening, unfortunately Rory O’Neill ruins it completely. He interrupts so much that he even does it to himself, starting to answer a question from the host before rambling off in two or three other directions until the original question is lost behind a wall of ill conceived babble. The man’s a bore, listening to the hurling podcast is like being stuck on a stool in the pub listening to the town drunk droning on about whatever is top of mind. In the post hurling final show Shane McGrath spoke so passionately and eloquently about the game only for O’Neill to ruin the mood with his antics. I’m so glad that RTÉ split the podcasts this year, because I can listen to the football episodes with complete enjoyment. My advice, bring back Jacqui and send O’Neill on a fact finding mission to Antarctica; he’d probably still find someone to interrupt and argue with.
