The Andy Farrell interview
13 oktober 2025 · 56 min
Ireland coach Andy Farrell joins Joe Molloy in studio to chat about his new autobiography ‘The Only Way I Know’, his grounding in life & grounding in rugby, as well as how those early beginnings paved the way for a most unique career path. From his stunning teenage debut for Wigan Warriors & the meteoric ascent which followed, navigating his experiences of early fatherhood, through to the many milestones he achieved on the rugby pitch. Andy delves into the challenging transition from league legend to fledgling union player, and how his injury-impacted spell on the sidelines crystallised elements of his coaching philosophies to this day. He also broaches the origin of his time with the Ireland team, from embedding aspects of his own ideology within the Joe Schmidt school, through to taking the reins post a tough 2019 World Cup, and the journey the team has embarked upon under his stewardship.

A Closer Look | Netflix, Trump, Dana White, boxing, WWE, Entourage, Saudi Arabia, & the monopoly of combat sports
9 september 2025 · 1 uur 12 min
Combat sports have never been solely about what happens between the ropes. From sleight of hand negotiations to billion-dollar networks, the real battles have often been fought behind the scenes. In this episode, acclaimed combat sports journalist Ariel Helwani is on hand to chart the evolution of that power struggle, from boxing’s turbulent past, through to the origin of UFC and WWE as most unlikely business partners. In just a couple of years, their parent company TKO Inc has evolved from a merger to a media empire, with UFC brokering billion-dollar broadcast deals, and WWE breaking new ground with Netflix’s first-ever live sports investment. Now, TKO is turning its sights to boxing. Backed by Saudi Arabia, and set to launch with Canelo Álvarez vs. Terence Crawford this weekend, the move could change the sport forever. But is this actually the promised 'revival' of a fractured boxing landscape, or rather the beginning of a hostile takeover? To unpack it all, Ariel joins Ronan Mullen & Dave Hanratty to examine how WWE, UFC, and now boxing are being reshaped by politics, media, and money on a global scale. Lees meer
