American Rugby Insights & The Power of Seaweed | Feat. Martin Pengelly & Paul Mullen

Join us for a unique "Happy Hour" as we explore the intersection of American rugby culture and the secrets of the sea. We kick things off with a custom introduction song that left our guest speechless, before diving into an engaging conversation with writer Martin Pengelly in our new segment, "The National Maul" about his "The National Maul" Substack, his passion for rugby writing, and his fascinating background covering American politics for The Guardian.

In the second half of the show, we’re joined by Major League Rugby veteran and marine engineer Paul Mullen to talk about Old Glory DC's playoff rubn. We move from the rugby pitch to the coast to discuss his roots in the Aran Islands and his innovative work using seaweed as a powerful bio-stimulant for crops. Tune in for a blend of insightful commentary, sports anecdotes, and practical gardening wisdom!
