About this listen
The Sunday Times’ award-winning journalist and author Michael Foley is our latest guest, and we spoke, among other things, about poetry written by Kieran McGeeney’s Da, his favourite interviewee, and how he became the second-most famous Mick Foley on Twitter.
His nominated pieces were: Hugh McIlvanney’s iconic report from the Rumble in the Jungle; a remarkable 1997 All-Ireland hurling final preview by Denis Walsh for The Sunday Times; David Halberstam’s short piece on the traditions of baseball’s opening night; and Jimmy Breslin’s famous column about the death of John Lennon.
