Episode 3613: The Earl Return, The Global North Psyop, Zidane To Tierney
He returns. After six weeks and one day of overseas deployment Ken (and Ted) is back in the studio. We chat through some of his World Cup high/low-lights, the forgotten rules of Baseball, the continuing spiral into madness of the collective Argentinian mind and also Ross Tierney’s Dalymount screamer.
