Anna Daly is in for Alison Curtis on Weekend Breakfast and she has two bold brats in studio as she welcomes Irish rugby legend Gordon D’Arcy and writer Paul Howard for a chat that starts with World Cup sleep deprivation!

The writing duo are back with 'Let’s Play Football', an interactive, co-reading adventure where kids take the free kicks, dodge setbacks, and lift the trophy at the end — with Ash Chacko's fabulous video-game-style illustrations bringing the match to life.

Plus, Paul talks Bad Sisters: how Sharon Horgan brought him into the writers’ room, and why Ireland has never looked better on screen.

TV and radio personality, designer, speaker, activist, documentarian --- "maker of things" --- the fabulous Brendan Courtney joined Shelly Gray (in for Alison) on Weekend Breakfast for a Pride Month chat.

Brendan spills the details on the GCN ( Gay Community News) Roast Battle Royale, at the Abbey Theatre on Sunday 21st June — a one-night-only, no-filter and feral comedy fundraiser celebrating community and 40 years of GCN.

It features a killer lineup including Emma Doran, Shane Daniel Byrne, Gearóid Farrelly, Andrea Horan, Niamh Kavanagh, and more.

He explains why Pride is still a passive protest, but also why Ireland can be a beacon of hope globally.

Shelly Gray is in for Alison on Weekend Breakfast, and she spoke to Munster and Ireland rugby legend Simon Zebo.

Simon is the Irish Yogurts Clonakilty Street Carnival Ambassador, celebrating its 10th anniversary today June 13.

He tells Shelly his love for the gorgeous Clonakilty — his family life - will the kids take after him on the rugby pitch? - his new favourite loves... Podcasts and Padel!

Simon also talks retired life: rugby punditry with “no filter”, the odd angry message, and how he’s keeping busy with golf, and five-a-side — plus his reaction to the James Lowe news.
