Podcast Corner: Second Captains mark 10 years in fine style at Olympia
George Hamilton gets the crowd singing along at the Second Captains gig at the Olympia.
Podcast live shows are big business. A couple weeks removed from Cork Podcast Festival, where I’m Grand Mam and Blindboy sold out the Opera House, and My Therapist Ghosted Me doing five (5!) nights at the 3Arena, the sports-focused Second Captains celebrated their 10th anniversary at a long-sold-out Olympia Theatre on Thursday.
Paul Kimmage, their first guest of the evening, says what we’re all thinking: Fair play to the fivesome - Eoin McDevitt, Ciarán Murphy, Ken Early, Simon Hick, and Mark Horgan - for trying something new, and finding a new path when they left Off the Ball and Newstalk in acrimonious circumstances in early 2013.
