TFTES 314

from Tales From The East Stand · host Gary Parsons & Karl Reilly

We talk our first league win of the season against St Pat's, and although we're a week late for International Women's Day and World Book Day, Hannah Dunne interviews Rovers players Melissa O'Kane and Fiona Owens ahead of the women's team's first home game in Tallaght on Saturday, and there's a double author feature with two Rovers fans who have written non-football books. With Friday's trip to top of the table Drogheda, Dr Thomas Tormey, who has been Historian in Residence with Louth Library Service since 2021, tells us about "War and Peace in the Wee County", his year-long 90s series with Juz on the podcast, ranking our best ever European results and more. First, Karl catches up with his old primary school classmate Aaron Rogan, author of "Punters", a book about the rise of Paddy Power and the online gambling industry.
