Episode 2262: The Richie Allen Show Thursday July 9th 2026

Richie was joined by his childhood friend, Nigel Coad, who comes from one of Ireland's most celebrated footballing families. The Coad's of Waterford have produced League of Ireland stars and international players, earning immense respect and affection throughout Irish football.In 2018, Nigel's older brother, David, died in tragic circumstances. Deeply loved and sorely missed, David remains very much in Nigel's thoughts. Last week, however, something extraordinary happened—an experience so remarkable that it left Nigel, ordinarily a sceptic when it comes to such matters, convinced that David was reaching out to him.Nigel shares his deeply personal and compelling story with Richie. Richie's fiancée, Caroline, a researcher with a longstanding interest in metaphysics, also joins the conversation to explore questions surrounding the afterlife, signs from departed loved ones, and whether those who have passed on may still find ways to communicate with us.
