The YBIG Football Show unites Irish soccer fans across the globe to bring to listeners the most passionate views. The show has made the headlines in various Irish newspapers such as the Irish Daily Star because of its special guest interviews.

So far, Irish legends Ray Houghton, Dave Langan and current Ireland international Stephen Hunt have all been on the YBIG Football Show. We have also had contributions from Sky News Journalist Enda Brady and international Journalist Phillip O’Connor who is based in Stockholm.

 

On Talking GAA, Dave chats to GAA fans across the country to get their views on all the happenings in the GAA calendar. The show covers football, hurling, ladies football, Camogie and handball (the only GAA sport where one can before a work champion).

Dave O’Grady has been involved in the media for the past 8 years. He has worked on many funded radio projects in Ireland and abroad. Currently, Dave is involved with several programmes.

For Newstalk, Dave is the Broadcast Assistant for Síle Seoige’s ‘Shenanigans’ Saturday show. He believe’s that the show is unique in it’s own way and stands out from other programmes out there.

“It’s a great show to be involved with, it really does appeal to both men and women and we see this through the texts we get in. Working with Síle Seoige and Claire Sutton (Producer) is a priviledge. They are both so down to earth and their energy is reflected in the show”,Dave says.

He also spent some time in the online department of Newstalk helping to develop, market and manage Newstalk.ie.
