This week, three-time All Star and Mayo Captain Aidan O'Shea joins Jarlath for a fascinating conversation about his life and career.
In this rare chat, Aidan speaks frankly about handling the media, nerves and battling with keeping the right mindset as well as the relationship between players and referees.
Aidan also speaks about the frustration of the Dubs, the secrets of various GAA clubs which can be "borderline hostile at times", how the game of Gaelic Football has changed in recent years, rules he would consider changing, his time in America and professionalism.
