The How Is He Podcast | Ep. 59
🎙️ With your hosts Podge & Poppa – from the Ampifi Studio!

This week, we sit down with Shane O’Connor – a Cork man who lived every young footballer's dream, starting out with Liverpool’s youth and reserve squads (2006–2009) before breaking into first-team football with Ipswich Town.

But this episode goes far beyond football.

Shane opens up about his deeply personal journey through gambling addiction, how it took hold of his life, and the incredible strength it took to come out the other side. What follows is a truly unforgettable conversation – insightful, heartbreaking, inspiring, hilarious, and raw.

From the highs of professional football to the lowest moments of addiction, this is a story about resilience, redemption, and the importance of speaking out.

🎧 A must-watch/listen.
❤️ Huge thanks to Shane for sharing his story so openly.
