This week’s guest on Behind the Lines is Ciarán Murphy, of Second Captains.
We talk of how he found his way into broadcasting, the drama of his and colleagues’ exit from Newstalk and the huge success they have made of Second Captains, their latest project being an investigative series made with BBC Sounds, Where is George Gibney.
Although the true reason you should listen to this is to hear Murph go fully Larry David around Domhnall Gleeson.
His picks were: “The Silence”, by Roger Angell for the New Yorker; “Steven Gerrard and the 'top, top' chop” by Ken Early for The Guardian; Malalchy Clerkin’s Irish Times report on Galway’s 2017 All-Ireland semi-final win over Tipperary; The Bogey Man by George Plimpton; “The Case for Reparations” by Ta-Nahesi Coates for the Atlantic.
