Why, asked Rory McIlroy these past few days, have one Masters title when you can have two? And why win smoothly when you can terrorise your home country instead?

It was another wild and ultimately joyous weekend for McIlroy at Augusta and we’re joined by The 42’s Gavin Cooney live from Georgia and The Sunday Times’ Michael Foley to take it all in.

Plus there’s old green-fingers Paul McGinley, the agony and the ecstasy of ace-shootin’ Shane Lowry, and the return of Van the Man.

There’s no contracts, no hidden fees and shows can be listened to on all good podcast apps, on Spotify or through our website.

You’ll also be supporting the development of our longer-form work, such as our international series’  ‘Where Is George Gibney?’ and Stakeknife.

Lars Sivertsen and John Brewin join us to talk about the weekend’s football. Why did the Emirates boo at the end of Saturday’s game? Have Arsenal’s efforts to hype up their title run-in fixtures proved counterproductive?
