Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026.
Here, Kerry legend Dara Ó Cinnéide joined Gerard Gilroy back in May to talk about his his latest documentary, a gripping murder-mystery sparked by a chance discovery of old books and a trail that leads from West Kerry to Boston and Oklahoma.
He also reflects on club life as chairman of An Ghaeltacht, the pull of local history, and why “nothing beats being there” when it comes to sport and storytelling.
