You might know him as the co-founder of Bingo Loco, the man who turned a chaotic drinking game into a global phenomenon. But before the sold-out arenas, there was a different kind of chaos.


In this first part of a sprawling, unforgettable conversation, Will sits down with his old friend Stephen to trace the arc of a life that refused to play it safe. They go back to the beginning—watching his car-salesman dad graft in Dublin, the student union days, and working the nightlife scene in Dublin thereafter. But then the story takes a turn. What followed was an 18-month journey that landed him in Pakistan with anti-Taliban vigilantes, couch-surfing in Iranian opium dens, and eventually on the front line against ISIS in Iraq.


This is Part 1 of a two-part conversation about restlessness, hospitality, the stories we're told about the world, and what happens when you stop reacting to life and start living it actively. Pull up a chair. This one's a journey.

Her feast day marks the start of spring, but is St. Brigid of Ireland a Christian saint, a pagan goddess reborn, or a powerful symbol we’ve shaped over centuries? To help us unravel this mystery, we’re joined by historian Dr. Niamh Wycherley. We’ll dig into the earliest evidence, decode the famous legends, and ask what Brigid’s complex legacy tells us about Irish spirituality—past and present. This is an exploration of how one extraordinary figure can hold so many worlds within her story.


Dr Niamh Wycherley is Assistant Professor in Maynooth University. She hosts The Medieval Irish History Podcast and is the Principal Investigator of the Research project 'Power and Patronage in Medieval Ireland: Clonard from the sixth to twelfth centuries' and contributes regularly to RTÉ Brainstorm and television programmes such as the RTÉ 1 documentary Finding Brigid (with Siobhán McSweeney) and was historical consultant on RTÉ's Blindboy: the Land of Slaves and Scholars.

As 2025 draws to a close, Aidan in Vienna and Stephen in Carrownamaddy finally steal a moment to wrap up the year over coffee (watermelon-infused, of course).

In this soulful review, they hold a mirror to their hopes from last January. They talk about the goals they nailed—like Stephen's unforgettable festival-wedding and Aidan's dedication to learning German—and the ones that got away (we're looking at you, dental floss). More than a simple review, this is a raw and moving conversation about the hard trade-offs of a big year, the complex pull of home, and how to find your rhythm again when life throws you off pace.

With some big news at the end of this episdoe it's the perfect companion for your own year-end reflection. Settle in, and let's brew.

This episode goes beyond the highlights with Donegal (dare I say) legend Martin McElhinney. We delve into the emotional landscape of that 2012 All Ireland win over Mayo and the 2014 final against Kerry. We talk about what it is like playing under the guidance of Jim McGuinness, the noise of walking out the Croke Park tunnel, and the feelings that surge when the final whistle blows on your childhood dream. Martin shares his story about playing in these finals and we discuss his career, his thoughts on the current team and a few segways about youth development and more.

There is nothing sexy about either of those but worth having a conversation about them.


Motivation is not the cause of action, it is the result. “Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work.” – Chuck Close


Consider asking yourself or others:

  • What have you been putting off by waiting to be motivated? 
  • What can you do to "self-motivate" instead?

Almost three years ago, we started the Soul Brew Podcast. It was shortly after a period when the entire world came to a standstill due to COVID-19.


A time that forced us to reevaluate many things, including our life choices. Around that time we began to openly explore where we were in life. Stephen, who had just completed his travels, was a very different man back then. In this podcast, we talk about life's changes, how it's okay to change opinions, and, to some degree, how it's necessary for growth. If we cling to the same narrative, we refuse to evolve, grow, and develop. This episode recaps Stephen's growth, development, and choices in life to date. It's a great conversation to have with friends and family to reflect on how much you've grown and developed over the past years. What has happened in your life since COVID-19?

]]> "No man ever steps into the same river twice, for it's not the same river, and he's not the same man." - Heraclitus


Almost three years ago, we started the Soul Brew Podcast. It was shortly after a period when the entire world came to a standstill due to COVID-19.


A time that forced us to reevaluate many things, including our life choices. Around that time we began to openly explore where we were in life. Stephen, who had just completed his travels, was a very different man back then. In this podcast, we talk about life's changes, how it's okay to change opinions, and, to some degree, how it's necessary for growth. If we cling to the same narrative, we refuse to evolve, grow, and develop. This episode recaps Stephen's growth, development, and choices in life to date. It's a great conversation to have with friends and family to reflect on how much you've grown and developed over the past years. What has happened in your life since COVID-19?

Sharon’s research interests revolve primarily around inclusion psychology/inclusion health in the areas of mental health, substance dependence, homelessness and trauma and consequent impacts on service design and delivery and is regularly published in peer-reviewed journals and delivers seminars. 


We discussed how podcasting has made mental health and wellbeing information more accessible and understandable for listeners and a new study has proved that they can in fact improve mental health literacy. The paper, published by Dr Lambert and Naoise Ó Caoilte from UCC, shows that access to information through podcasts has decreased stigma and increased help-seeking amongst listeners. We also talk about topics including stress, mental health, mens mental health, trauma and looking at change on the individual and societal level.

Louize owns co-found PRISM Therapy providing the highest standard in online therapy, matching people with a suitable therapist in a way that works for them. As well as this Louize is a writer and a bassist for The Blizzards, hence the name of the episode.


Louize talks to Aidan and Stephen about the complexity of being a person, our desire to be seen, false empowerment of people, narcissism, one's mind vs body, values and more. Louize insists if we put time into thinking about what we truly value in life we will see improvements and she puts Aidan on the spot with a formidable question about his daily habits.


Finally the lads discuss Coldtober again and their role as ambassadors.
