It's been a while. Huge apologies for our two month absence but we're back with a banger.

For our 200th Episode we are celebrating the long awaited arrival of our new passports with an Irish Athletics Special.

We're determined to be the best new fans possible so have invited Irish athletics luminaries from all generations to give us tips.

King of the Irish Athleticos Seamus Carey is here to explain the huge surge in fans appearing on our TV screen over the last few years.

2006 World Indoor 60mh champ Derval O'Rourke tells us all about the new crop of athletes that we can now support.

1983 World 5000m Champion Eamonn Coughlan takes us on a history lesson and gives us lots of homework.

And lastly 400m sensation Rhasidat Adeleke joins us all the way from Texas to tell us about her upcoming season.

Something for everyone or as Dana would say 'All Kinds of Everything'.
