Free State is a podcast for the curious that stimulates, provokes, challenges and entertains, while never taking itself too seriously. Free State covers topics from sport to politics, love to loss, the human condition and how to fix the world, with guests from across the planet including Nigerian princes, former Prime Ministers, ex convicts, footballers, boxers and extraordinary people from every walk of life.
Free State is presented by Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning. Brolly is a barrister, an original thinker with a fascinating backstory, who donated a kidney to a stranger and then led a crusade to transform organ donation on the island of Ireland, and Fanning is an award-winning interviewer and author.
They are not motivational gurus or life coaches. They will never try to sell you a penis scented candle. They are two people from very different worlds, with one core belief uniting them - this is not a high performance podcast.

Brilliant Dion excellent and insightful
Jesus dion i feel your frustrations... Is this a brolly interview or a sexton interview ffs take a break brolly and let your guests talk 🙈
a brilliant insightful podcast ,especially of a unionist leader who has been to hell and back , involved in wars that temporarily dehumanised him ,forced up close to kill or be killed ,yet doing his best to be a decent person despite the demons that constantly haunt him This podcast introduces us to such people in an understanding, non judgemental manner. Really brilliant stuff lads
If Your talking about Captains look no further than Billy "Cesar" Mc Neill 🍀, led 11 Lads from within 30miles of Celtic Park to Rule the World, Won leagues as a Player and a Manager.
I'd love brollys rose coloured glasses for a while, the high profile assaults by hurlers footballers, not to mention the cocaine usage nor the thuggish behaviour on the pitch coupled with attacks week on week of referees, hilarious brolly...
Jesus brolly will you allow dion finish a sentence ffs...
Very little content now sadly...
Just as well the Christmas break is upon us sadly this podcast which started of famously is now a parody of itself, still to the bitter end Joe must overpower everyone and every conversation, when you reduce Roddy Collins to a mute observer you are some waffler joe... Dreaful stereotypical tripe
Very enjoyable as always! What's the music at the end, please?
These podcasts should of course be on the school syllabus but then the public would see this society for what it is and the golden circle don't want that under any circumstances...
Absolutely brilliant lads best podcast by a mile... Gotta get you into vicar St...
Brilliant again lads... Hard to find fault with anything within this podcast,
This will be shared with many of my friends and will make it's way across the 🌍.... Brilliant... Bravo.... Can't wait for part 2
