Description

Colm Parkinson joins Conan in studio for a wide-ranging chat about the unique journey he undertook to become one of the GAA's most high-profile & outspoken voices. From precocious early days as an underage starlet with Laois, through a tumultuous senior career, as well as the flight risks & fallouts which followed. We also delve into his rollercoaster relationships with legendary figures like Mick O'Dwyer & Jim McGuinness, why he doesn't subscribe to shying away from conflict, the flaws in modern GAA coverage, his own novel journalism path, and the reasons he believes RTE would never hire him.
