Sounds of the Summer: The Shefflin era at Kilkenny, the Herity influence and is it the right time? | Paul Murphy

Welcome to our Sounds of the Summer podcast, a look back, and look forward, to some of the biggest GAA stories which dominated 2026.

In this episode, All-Ireland winner and Hurling Pod regular Paul Murphy joins Colm Boohig and Ger Gilroy to dig into Henry Shefflin’s appointment as Kilkenny manager, and the big question: is now the right time?

Murphy chats backroom-team possibilities, what Shefflin learned from Galway, the importance of puck-out strategy and tactical flexibility, and why a “reset” could be exactly what Kilkenny’s panel needs after a season that felt like a crisis of confidence.
