Description

Darren Conway and Joe McGucken present Stall It.

Whether it’s a deep dive into mystery, a dose of nostalgia or a wander through the strange worlds of Darren and Joe, Stall It is silly about the serious stuff and serious about the silly. 

It's the podcast that can go anywhere, with a conversation about an air fryer leaving you discussing your chances of survival in a zombie apocalypse, a childhood memory leading you to re-designing Dublin as a theme park, or a bit of historical trivia leading you down a mysterious rabbit hole.

As Joe puts it, it’s “like falling asleep on the bus and waking up in Kimmage, you don't know how you got there."

Some EXCELLENT listener questions have the boys' brains working overtime this week as they get to be a fly on some very interesting walls whilst also trying to work out how to get home to Finglas whilst entirely naked.

The lads are feeling a little out of place this week in their new studio and Joe soon storms out over the building rules about his (inappropriate) parking of his (surprisingly large) scooter.  Joe asks what would be the one big thing that would give away that you're not Irish, and gives a fiery defence of why he can't get the bus or train when floods block his route to work. There's a debate on whether it's weird to see someone you know with no shoes on, or even worse, in their togs at the Aquatic Centre, and a listener send us in a Simpsons and Father Ted quiz that tests if the lads are the super fans they claim to be.  And don’t forget to join us for our live show at Vicar Street on February 12th.
