The Pick and Mix Podcast returns early this week to look ahead to a wide and varied GAA period.

This episode focuses on all things not senior so Alan Hartnett is joined by Steven Miller.

They begin with a discussion on the Katie Taylor fight before segwaying into the Kilcavan v Mountmellick IFC game.

The discussion goes on to all of the Junior grades while Alan also speaks about his trip to Rosenallis.

And Steven gets his right of reply after becoming the butt of a joke involving the Colt-Shanahoe lads following their win over Clonad

LaoisToday teamed up with Colm Parkinson of The Smaller Fish for a special live podcast at Electric Picnic – and you can now listen back to the full conversation.

A packed Ah Hear! Podcast Stage in MindField welcomed the former Laois footballer on Friday afternoon as LaoisToday returned to perform at Electric Picnic for the third successive year.

LaoisToday's Steven Miller was joined on stage by Parkinson for a wide-ranging conversation that began right at the start of his story.

Parkinson discussed his earliest memories and influences before reflecting on the various stages of a career that has taken him from inter-county football to broadcasting and, ultimately, establishing his own successful media business.

Naturally, there was plenty of discussion about his time as a footballer and the experiences that helped shape his views on the modern game.

The conversation then moved through his media career and into his current role as the owner of The Smaller Fish, which has developed into a popular home for GAA discussion, analysis and podcasts.

The second part of the show saw the floor opened to the audience – and the questions brought Parkinson and Miller in plenty of different directions.

The future of Gaelic games featured prominently, including discussion around the prospect of further rule changes following the significant changes already introduced to Gaelic football.

The relationship between inter-county players and the media was another topic, with discussion around whether players need to become more accessible to journalists and supporters and how that could benefit the promotion of Gaelic games.

And this being Electric Picnic, the conversation eventually ventured well beyond the confines of the GAA pitch – with Love Island even making its way into the audience Q&A.

The show marked another milestone for LaoisToday at Electric Picnic, with the local media outlet now having performed at the festival for three years in succession.

We previously brought you Paul Dargan's brilliant pictures from the live show – and now you can hear exactly what was discussed on the day.

The full LaoisToday and The Smaller Fish Electric Picnic podcast is available to listen to from Wednesday morning.

After a good two months, we are back with an edition of the LaoisToday Pick and Mix Podcast.

Alan Hartnett is joined by Steven Miller, plus some members of his family, for this one.

The episode begins by looking ahead to Laois Camogie's All-Ireland final against Antrim on Sunday.

Steven also looks back at the 2001 Laois Ladies All-Ireland winning team who were honoured in Croke Park and the lads also pay tribute to the late Liam O'Neill.

There is also plenty to talk about on the pitch with two Round 2 SFC games, one Round 2 IFC game and some JFC matches to discuss.
