The Buildup is our brand new weekly podcast, with Ladbrokes, where we preview all the major sporting action for the weekend ahead. We'll be building the hype, whetting the appetite and making some bold predictions for everything that's happening.

On this week's show we talk to Stephen Ferris ahead of Ireland's opening World Cup warm up game against Italy (35:49), Mark and Mick preview the first weekend of the Premier League (5:20) and their Ladbrokes 1-2-FREE picks (31:09), while Maurice Brosnan is in studio to give us his value bets for the All-Ireland football semi-finals (54:41). 

Mick also tries to get us hyped for some random sporting event (1:08:45) and Mark has been tasked with 'The Big Shout,' where he must come up with some crazy odds prediction (1:14:00).
