I don't find any of them entertaining really. Ex players ore often guarded about what they say, hoping for a pundit role somewhere. Others are full of cliches, half true stories that grew legs over the years and stories that have been heard a lot of times before. Even up for the match, while it is a national treasure at this stage, is fairly predictable in what it serves up.
Out of the pundits I've listened to, John Mullane is one of the most likeable because his passion for the game is and has always been refreshing.
I find the opinions of ordinary fans (like on here) far more interesting because those opinions take far more into account - the cost of attending games, travel times, where to get a pre match pint, the game itself or the experience of bringing children to a game. There may already be one, I don't know, but a podcast without ex players, managers, ex managers or any celebrity would be very interesting.

I dont listen to GAA podcasts, I make up my own mind from watching games, not listening to people some of whom have agenda's of their own. Its the same with studio analysis on TV, no interest at all in it any more, far too safe and predictable.
