Indo Sport podcast: The Eamonn Sweeney interview – a crippling travel phobia, a GAA summer and what happened next
Today at 15:39
Joe is joined in studio by Sunday and Irish Independent sports columnist Eamonn Sweeney to discuss his new book, The Last Ditch, and how it helped him overcome a crippling travel phobia.
Eamonn explains how a terrible panic attack in the summer of 2000 grew into a condition that left him increasingly unable to venture far from his home in Skibbereen.
The opportunity to write a book chronicling the championship summer of 2024 prompted him to get back on the road and he outlines how he was able to overcome his fears.
