    14/07/2026 | 58 mins.
    Eddie Keher, one of the greatest hurlers of all-time. Six All-Irelands with Kilkenny, ten leinsters, All-Ireland winning captain, All-stars, Railway cups, met Muhamaad Ali and introduced him to hurling, growing up in old Ireland and what he makes of this years All-Ireland final. Inistioge is home, and what a place it is. Beyond beautiful. The future of the game is discussed, Eddie hopes there will be more hurling in the summer months. July All-Ireland finals are worth a rethink. His granddaughter Caoimhe Keher-Murtagh is playing Camogie with Kilkenny, proud grandfather and Eddie names his all-time greats. St Kieran's College, Team of the century, team of the Millennium, a volt of memories but most striking is this kind, considerate man. He's coming 85 soon, you certainly wouldn't think it. His memory is incredible. This podcast was an absolute delight and once of the nicest days we've worked on the GAA Social. The great Eddie Keher

    Paudie O'Mahony. Winning five All-Irelands- surviving alcoholism. Owning it.

    07/07/2026 | 55 mins.
    This podcast takes a turn around the 30 minute mark. The Kerry Golden years, the evolution of goalkeeping, dropped because of injury and never really making it back. It's all interesting reflections. Scratch a little, then the brutal impact of sitting on the sub bench becomes clear. It's not an exaggeration to say being a sub, contributed heavily to Paudie O'Mahony becoming an alcoholic. It cost him dearly, something he accepts. He's now 12 years clear from drinking, a fabulous accomplishment. Life is really good now and it leads to some really honest reflections. He loves Kerry, his club Spa, hates goalkeepers hitting frees, it's all Cluxton's fault, explains why Jack O'Shea wasn't good at the start....but then he was. His love of the Dublin team of the 70's & 80's also shines through. Paudie O'Mahony- what a voice!
