Episode 3291: Hot Cork Summer, Scoreboard Mayhem, Stop The World, They Paved Paradise
The Cork hurlers have built up a following which some commentators are comparing with Heffo’s Army or, say, the Pope’s visit to Ireland. They travelled from Kent station to Heuston on Saturday with, let’s be honest, a certain cockiness and Dublin’s quick capitulation made for a good day out for the red shirted horde.

And then came “its a madhouse at Croker” on Sunday – our senior analyst Jamie Wall had tipped against Tipp. What’s he got to say for himself now? He’s joined in our studio by Dublin’s Liam Rushe to discuss both semis and the score that never was.
We also discuss lingerie shops distracting Easter Week rebels, turning the GPO into a coffee shop, dressing like an African prince and Murph gets back behind the wheel for another episode of the wildly successful new slot, Murph’s Country Drives.

How did Tupac become hip-hop’s most recognisable icon and how was he shaped by the politics of the environment in which he grew up?https://t.co/LwpaPwqlcr pic.twitter.com/63UtUPM8cN
