Really good to chat with Rhasidat Adeleke about the highlights of a medal-filled year, the battles of body and mind being waged to win the ones that got away, and why crying on TV is an absolute no-no. www.thetimes.com/article/4d5d...

These books might sort a Xmas present for someone. Available at all the usual online book stores if they're not in the shops, and obrien.ie.

Great to chat with Katie-George Dunlevy, surviving all sorts of horrendous obstacles to deliver one of the most remarkable sports success stories of the year. www.thetimes.com/article/149a...

An emotional chat with Brian Fenton explaining his decision to retire, the joys and demands of an all-time great career, hanging with Clifford and the Kerry boys and finding the edge that turned Dublin from era-defining team into footballing immortals. www.thetimes.com/article/daca...

The Go Games of Leaders' Debates. And they all stood I for a lovely photo as well.

The insanely epic History of Rock Music in 500 Songs podcast (it's taken 6 yrs to reach #177)😓) threw up this gem. I only knew Rockin Around the Xmas Tree, but in the 1960s only Elvis, the Beatles and Ray Charles sold more singles in the US than Brenda Lee. open.spotify.com/track/4ZiDhG...

Ouch. They could still do with him.
