I have a running Google doc of half-baked ideas for potential projects and enterprises. One of these is a podcast called Steak & Chips, in which I would interview GAA players about their pop cultural influences.
I used to love those player profiles that were ubiquitous in Munster championship programmes in the nineties and early noughties, the ones that asked all the important questions: favourite music, favourite film, favourite food. The delightful thing was that there seemed to be a range of acceptable answers that no one strayed too far from, no matter what county they hailed from or position they played. Favourite music was inevitably Christy Moore or Bruce Springsteen. Favourite film was The Shawshank Redemption or some manner of mafia film. Favourite food was always, without fail, steak and chips.
