The GAA Social - Richie Power- Kilkenny legend, a life of success, 8 All-Irelands and keeping a secret. I'm addicted to gambling
This podcast started with Richie Power & his amazing career. 12 inter-county All-Irelands, double All-star, an All-Ireland with his club & coming from a family of hurling royalty. The Podcast ends with Richie, for the first time, talking about his gambling addiction. In an emotional, frank and honest interview, Richie explains how the addiction took hold of his life, where he ended up and reaching out for help. Richie and his three-time All Ireland winning father drove the car North to meet Oisin McConville in the Carrickdale hotel- a cry for help. Oisin McConville remembers that meeting and is alongside Richie as he explains a life in turmoil. Richie also explains to Thomas Niblock how his career was cut short because of injury, the power of the club, his struggles to cope and life outside the black & amber. It's a powerful podcast with fun moments and the harsh reality faced by many in society, who suffer from addiction. Richie Power, legend, father, All-Ireland winner, Allstar, addict. This is his story.
