## Resource

What a podcast! Two of Ireland's greatest voices coming together - George Hamilton and BBC commentary legend Conor McNamara! The other Connor (Phillips) got to ask two of the greatest to ever do it - what it is like to be behind the mic at some of the worlds biggest football matches? Did you know Conor McNamara is from broadcasting royalty? His dad is legendary DJ Micky Mac aka Michael McNamara. Conor talks about how his dad was an inspiration to his future career! George shares with Conor (and Connor) some of the best moments he has had behind the mic and Conor (McNamara) returns the favour. What is it like when you support a team you are commentating on - does it make it hard to stay 'impartial'? How effective are co-commentators and do they work? Have all commentators been accused of the 'Commentators Curse'? What is the difference between a radio commentator and a TV commentator? Both George and Conor (McNamara) help answer some of these questions. With the World Cup on the horizon - what a great opportunity to find out about one of the best broadcasting skills in the world. And Conor McNamara 'does' his best George Hamilton moment! To contact or sponsor: itsthere@fiocar.com Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
