from The Sideline Live Podcast · host The Sideline Live
On episode 173 Off the Ball journalist Eoin Sheahan joins the podcast to unpack his captivating podcast series, Diverted, chronicling his travels across Latin America through the lens of sport, culture, and personal discovery. We dive into the creative process behind crafting a documentary-style podcast on the move, exploring stories from Palestine football in South America, basketball in Guatemala - where their average height is 5 feet, Alexis McCallister and his family football academy, Juventus in Belize where they all speak German, Mayo hurling (yes Mayo hurling), interviewing the Belize senior men’s football manager in his house and more. Eoin shares the challenges of capturing authentic audio in unpredictable environments, immersive storytelling, sport as a method of connection and understanding culture. We also discuss tailgating at GAA games and bringing an American style to the All-Ireland final weekends. Halftime show? Tailgating? Saturday evening games like the 2019 football replay under sunset/night sky? Tune in for a rich conversation about South American sport through an irish lens, obscure sports, an international influence on local teams, culture, creativity, hitchhiking, and the art of narrative in a world of constant change.Listen to diverted on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6rjuEV2OLCMSahhGJYD8n2?si=8bcb8b27f6e44f10 Find Eoin here https://x.com/EoinSheahan https://www.instagram.com/eoinsheahan/ [email protected] Follow The Sideline Live Social Media channels: https://twitter.com/thesidelinelive https://www.instagram.com/thesidelinelive/ Recorded using Samson Q2 microphone, Edited using GarageBandIntro music, Watered Eyes by a talented Irish artist, Dillon Ward check him out here .
