The refffferreeee's a legend!You don't tend to hear nice things about referees but I for one will only have good things to say about my guest today!David has been a ref for years and is one of the most respected in GAA.And he won the respect of the LGBTQ+ community when he publicly came out in 2015 in the campaigning for the Marriage Equality Referendum.Since then, he has been fighting for Pride in the GAA and in sports. This week a documentary aired on TG4 with David at the helm, called Misneach: Bród sa Spórt, which looks at our sports and if they are a safe place for gay players. You can watch it back on the TG4 player. In this chat we discuss everything from doorknocking for permission to get married, to why it's harder to ref a small club game than a full house at Croker.I hope you enjoy.Please share, rate, review and comment.

I am BACK! That is right, season 6 is here!I have missed recording weekly for you all so I brought an amazing guest along! The wonderful Glen Power from The Script is here to talk about how he got into music and the band, the highs and lows of being on the road, shunning fame and of course, losing Mark Sheehan last year. Glen often stayed in the background in the band so it was wonderful to hear his thoughts, his gratitude, his fears and his feelings on so many topics. This is one that #TheScriptFamily will love but even those who are not huge fans.Please do share, rate, review, and comment and make sure to follow The Tis Yourself podcast wherever you get your podcasts and on social media.
