WTS 350: Petesy Carroll
Petesy Carroll is back on WTSpod and there’s plenty to catch up on. Petesy talks us through Katie Taylor’s incredible night at Croke Park, why she might be the greatest unifying force Irish sport has ever produced, and what it was actually like being there as she walked out in front of a packed stadium. He also gets into the changing world of MMA in Ireland, combat sports tribalism, and why covering Irish sport for an international audience can be a dangerous business. Plus England and the World Cup, 1916 Rising, Danny hates religion, parenting and a few other rabbit holes along the way.

WTS 349: Ruth Codd
Actress Ruth Codd joins Danny & Mero to chat about wheelchair basketball, horse riding, cooking three-day Christmas dinners, and the joys of trying to navigate a world that still isn’t built with disabled people in mind. Ruth gets properly candid about her two amputations, accessibility on film sets, travelling in a wheelchair, influencers and festival frustrations, and why she’s finally stopped being afraid to speak up when something isn’t right. We talk a bit about The Traitors, Ruth's TV experience and there's a lot of talk about doughnuts.

WTS 348: The World Cup Warm-Up
The lads chat summer gigs, the rise of Irish pop phenomenon CMAT, concert etiquette, and why some people seem determined to spend half a show queuing for pints instead of watching the band. Then the conversation drifts towards the upcoming 2026 FIFA World Cup — and whether either of them can muster much enthusiasm for it. From memories of USA '94 and Roberto Baggio, to modern football politics, FIFA, ticket prices, and the influence of figures like Gianni Infantino and Donald Trump, it's a wide-ranging discussion on how sport feels very different in 2026. Along the way there are detours into Bruce Springsteen, Christy Moore, Roy Keane, World Cup nostalgia retro football jerseys, and the kind of random tangents you've come to expect from a guest-free episode.

WTS 347: Bruce Wardrop on "The Steroid Olympics"
The Enhanced Games, a bizarre cocktail of performance-enhancing drugs, elite sport, billionaire backed bullshit, and techno-utopian nonsense, landed in Las Vegas recently and delivered... well, not a whole lot. To talk about the spectacle we’re joined by Bruce Wardrop, Lecturer in Sports and Exercise Science at South East Technological University and specialist in performance physiology. Bruce helps us unpack what the Games actually were, the science behind doping in elite sport, and the very real health risks tied to chasing marginal gains at any cost. We also get into the billionaire backing behind the event, the promise of “safe enhancement”, why the performances largely failed to live up to the hype, and what all of this says about modern sport, biohacking culture, and the increasingly worrying social grifting.

WTS 346: Two to tango
This episode blurb was written by Chat GPT because Danny had no sleep and wasn't able to. Thanks. No guest this week just Danny & Graham going full old-man-yells-at-cloud mode. 😅 From Trump grifts and culture wars to Bertie doorstep disasters, World Cup ticket madness, wrestling docs, The Boys, Eurovision burnout and why Pico Lopes making the World Cup is actually class… this one is pure rambles, rants and random tangents.

WTS 345: Richie Malone
This week we chat to rockstar Richie Malone. Like a lot of kids growing up, Richie idolised his favourite band, but unlike most Richie actually joined them! For the last 10 years, he’s been carrying the torch for Status Quo’s legendary rock and iconic sound, stepping into the role left by his hero Rick Parfitt and bringing his own energy to stages around the world. We talk about the surreal moment he got the call to join the band, what it’s really like on the road as a musician, how people reacted to his news and his new music venture, The Richie Malone Band. *An earlier version of this episode was published with some "bonus behind the scenes" content due to Danny having sausage fingers in the edit. Thanks to the listeners who got in touch to alert us / take the piss.

WTS 344: Hilary McGann
Hilary McGann is back! And so is the chaos of the global news cycle... well, that never really went away did it? We catch up with Hil on all we can cram into an hour - from life as a new mum and the return of her Booked In podcast to the deepening instability in U.S. and Israeli politics, this episode covers a lot of ground. We dig into Trump, polarisation in politics and society, media pressure, religion in the corridors of power, and why so much of the world right now feels like history unfolding in real time.

WTS 343: Richard Boyd Barrett
This week we welcomed People Before Profit–Solidarity TD Richard Boyd Barrett back to WTSpod. We spoke about returning to public life after cancer treatment, the reality of going through Ireland’s public health system, and why better access to cancer care still matters. We also get into the Cherrywood arena controversy, public spending priorities, Ireland’s neutrality, Trump, and the growing impact of toxic online culture on real-world violence.
