Seven Psalms, Paul Simon and the end of Kerry football
About this episode
The episode explores the connection between great art and sport, reflecting on Paul Simon's performance and the dynamics of Kerry football.
What do great art and great sport have in common? Why do the moments that transport us to another dimension in sport and art have such power? On Free State today, Dion reflects on the spiritual experience of seeing Paul Simon and Joe reflects on writing Kerry off. What does the game between the All Ireland champions and Donegal tell us about the summer to come? And what does it tell us about Jack O’Connor? Has he been found out by the new dynamic Gaelic football or were the seeds of Kerry’s destruction planted long ago? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
