    This week our ol' pal Fergal Devitt - otherwise known as WWE Superstar Finn Bálor - is back on the podcast to catch us up on all that's been happening since we last spoke.

    Celebrating his 10th year with WWE, Finn talks to us about the highs and lows of his decade with the company - including his current run as a World Tag Team Champion alongside his former student and fellow Bray man, JD McDonagh (Jordan Devlin.)

    We talk about his rivalry with WWE Hall of Famer Edge and the infamous 14 staples incident, his dream matches, the nuance of storytelling, and we hear about the art of making it all come together in front of a live audience and millions watching on TV.

  • Republished: Chapter 14: Mícheál Ó Muircheartaigh
    Jun 26 2024

    In 2015 Danny & Mero spent an afternoon chatting to the great Mícheál O'Muircheartaigh. Following the sad news of Mícheál's passing, we are republishing this episode from way back when.

    Mícheál is, was, and always be a true great of broadcasting. He'll be remembered fondly and missed deeply.

    Shine On, Mícheál O'Muircheartaigh

    The two lads sat down with Micheál and heard all about his time growing up in Kerry, the history of Gaelic Games, stories across seven decades of sport from golf legend Peter Allis to the greatest hurler of all time Christy Ring. From Henry Shefflin to the great Dublin Kerry rivalry of years gone by. It's not often the two lads are stuck for words but in the presence of greatness, and with a man who loves Ireland as much as Ireland loves him, you sit forward and listen to every word. In his unmistakable Kerry accent, Micheál kept millions of people company on Sunday afternoons and shared in some of the greatest moments of Irish sport ever witnessed, this week, he shared that with WTSpod.
