Summary

This week, Newstalk's Off The Ball and Virgin Media's 6 Nations presenter Joe Molloy joined Jarlath for a rare long-form conversation about his life and career. With a refreshing honesty, Joe outlines his mixed feelings over the 'tricky' infamous Roy Keane interview which "wasn't a good night" for him, the overwhelm he felt in Newstalk after the sudden departure of the Second Captains team and his thoughts on how social media has turned angry in recent years. From the beautiful story of how he was headhunted for his Virgin Media role to the art of interviewing, turning to Enda McNulty for help and much more, this is a fascinating conversation with one of Ireland's top sports broadcasters.
