It was too early in the morning for me to consider the concept of a Tumbling Paddies Podcast ploughing episode
Heather Humphreys by comparison has so far only done long form podcast interviews with the Irish independent and the Irish examiner. She also appeared on the tumbling paddies podcast (for approximately 2 minutes) during their ploughing episode.

reminds me, how, according to Tim Pat Coogan: Michael Collins was the straightest man who ever lived and had so many girlfriends
"Collins's biographer Tim Pat Coogan said that he found in the course of his research that the IRA commander was "aggressively heterosexual" and that he "had several more women friends than people realised"" ["No evidence' to back up David Norris allegation that Michael Collins was gay", Irish Independent, 15 Oct 2012]
