Presented by Eoin McDevitt, Ciaran Murphy and Ken Early, the show will pick apart the week’s main events from popular culture, current affairs and topical stories with the help of a guest from the world of comedy, acting, journalism, music or politics.
Second Captains Sunday’s will also feature This Sporting Life, where the special guest explains how sport has impacted on them – for good and bad.

At the end of the series, Second Captains will crown one of their guests with the prestigious title of Ireland’s Greatest Non-Sportsperson Sportsperson!
Second Captains Sunday will be intelligent, positive and funny with a huge amount of text and tweet interaction and will absorb and reflect the upbeat mood of a Sunday morning.
