David O'Doherty (Part 2)

The Socially Distant Sports Bar
Contains very strong language and adult humour

Available for over a year

Part 2 of The Socially Distant Sports Bar with David O’Doherty. As well as a hugely successful stand‑up career and frequent appearances across television and radio comedy, David is also co‑host of the podcast What Did You Do Yesterday?, where guests recount the details of their previous day — a format that highlights his talent for drawing humour from the everyday. That same curiosity feeds into this part of the conversation, which moves into the more unexpected side of sport — including a surreal look at cricket that highlights how baffling games can feel when viewed from the outside. There’s also discussion of a standout long‑form sports interview, opening up a wider conversation about storytelling, journalism and the figures who shape how sport is remembered. As ever, it’s less about analysis and more about the humour, perspective and ideas that come out of it.
