Episode 3399: Trump Booed, Revolutionary Caitlin Clark, Ken On Serie A
As the Irish Air Corps fly over Second Captains Towers to salute our new Uachtaráin, we again turn our eyes to the attention magnet across the Atlantic Ocean.
This weekend Donald Trump became only the third sitting POTUS to attend a regular season NFL game and boy did he make the most of it. Popping up in the commentary booth to offer some Art of War style learnings, before swearing in some young Americans to the military.
Staying in America, we chat to author and broadcaster Christine Brennan about her new book On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution in Women’s Sports. We chat to Christine about why Clark has broken the mould, being a white star in a league dominated by African Americans and why Clark has not been picked for the US Olympic team.
Ken updates us on some non-Ferguson Serie A news and Eoin uses Caitriona Jennings’ incredible 100 Mile world record to remind us of his Marathon PB.
