Michael Verney is joined by 2007 Hurler of the Year and current Waterford selector Dan Shanahan, who reflects on how much the sport of hurling has given to him. 
Memories of seeing poverty on tour in South Africa, being haunted by how things ended with Justin McCarthy and his motivations to go from not playing to Hurler of the Year are all talked about in a wide-ranging chat, where we also dive into Waterford’s current ambition - Munster or bust.

John Mullane (in a hot van) and Pat Ryan, fresh after walking the dogs before the sun rises, join Michael after a stellar final weekend of round-robin hurling action.
Dublin’s monumental win over Kilkenny is top billing, as the lads ask what next for Kilkenny as their summer is over. Verney, in his colours, also gets the ball rolling on analysis of lively Offaly as they reach the quarter-finals.
In Munster, Cork and Limerick booked their spots in the provincial final - who will come in as favourites? The lads also look at Clare’s chances in the All-Ireland series

Fresh off the news that Donegal and Kerry face no further sanctions or suspensions after Saturday’s clash, Pat Spillane & Dick Clerkin join Michael for a high-paced football episode.
The siege mentality from Jim McGuinness, Kerry’s missing talent and the reaction to the sanction news are all on the menu for the rematch of last year’s All-Ireland final.
Elsewhere, Tyrone defeat Roscommon and Cork rebound in what is turning out to be a wide-open championship. Pat then remembers his old opponent and team-mate Frank McGuigan
