Michael Duignan, living with cancer, Tomas O'Se as manager, Shane Lowry's role -ARMAGH!!!

In a deeply personal and revelaing podcast, former Offaly All-Ireland winner Michael Duignan explains the loss of his wife Edel to cancer. The decade that preceeded it and letters written by Edel, to be read after her death. The "guilt" of moving on and faith of Edel, in Michael, and his ability to raise their two sons alone. It's moving, powerful and brutually honest. The podcast also examines the challenges when a high profile former player moves into administration, Tomas O'Se has potentially the next Offaly manager and a brilliant story on Derry captain Chrissy McKaigue. Duignan confirms a six-figure sum donated by Shane Lowry and the role of the former Open champion with his native county. There's also a look ahead to this weekends All-Ireland hurling semi-finals, that hand-shake between Henry Shefflin and Brian Cody, and Duignan backs Galway for Sam Maguire. Oisin reflects on a frantic weekend for Armagh, that row and the Tiernan Kelly incident. It's funny, it's moving, it's packed- another brilliant episode of the GAA Social
