Joe is joined by Michael Verney and former BBC racing correspondent Cornelius Lysaght to preview Cheltenham 2025, which kicks off next Tuesday. Michael and Cornelius discuss the issues facing the festival and what organisers are doing to improve things, while Joe asks whether the continuing Irish dominance is turning viewers off in the UK. Constitution Hill's Champion Hurdle bid and Galopin Des Champs' attempt to complete a Gold Cup hat-trick are on the menu too.

Join Joe Molloy and guests for a daily take on the biggest sporting stories, Monday to Friday.

How Cheltenham is changing | The problem with Irish dominance | Townend targets history 🏇

Joe is joined by Ronan & Conan for this Friday installment of Bits & Bobs.
The lads discuss whether there’s a need for the nation to Czech expectations ahead of the big playoff game next week, the backstory behind predator boots, and the skill level required to play darts.
They also dive into Heimir Hallgrímsson contract extension, reach into the mailbag for some listener emails - and of course, talk through Derry’s Ulster championship draw.

Colm Keys, Conor McKeon and Frank Roche assemble alongside Joe for the Football League Panel.
From permutations, to post match comments and the value of ‘perfect piggery’ in the kickout - the panel discuss the lay of the land throughout the divisions heading into the final round of games.
GAA coverage on the Indo Sport podcast is sponsored by AIB.

Joe is joined by Jonathan Wilson, fresh from a dismal night at Stamford Bridge for Chelsea, to discuss the unimpressive front put on by Liam Rosenior and his team, as well as Pep’s perceived pressure to bring more European titles to City. He also breaks down the technicalities of CAF's ruling to award the 2026 AFCON title to Morocco after Senegal were deemed to have forfeited the final.
 
Beforehand, Daniel McDonnell gives us a quick temperature check one week out from Ireland's showdown in Prague.
