We were so caught up in our own feelings yesterday, in the grisly, depressing aftermath of Portugal 2 – Ireland, that we barely had time to mention the thoughts of our beloved listeners. We put that right today, and with Ken back on Irish soil, he compares the Irish and Portuguese nations (and both end up with a right to feel aggrieved) [0.45].

We talk to the brilliant Caitlin Thompson about the US Open, why Novak Djokovic is getting fans ejected, and what it was like having Naomi Osaka, only the biggest sports-woman in the world, editing Racquet magazine with her [24.30].

 

Plus there’s the desired length of time you should spend in the bathroom, “my brother is a Gene”, angry Hungarians and Frances Murphy’s TV guide to the sporting weekend.
