What started as a simple thought to create an Irish League podcast, then approaching my friend Johnny McMurray to see if he’d host it, has grown into something far bigger than we ever imagined On The Spot Football Podcast.

By coming together with our incredible team — Kirstie, Natasha Stewart and Rab McMurray — we’re now taking the show to the Waterfront Studio tomorrow night 💙

We’re honestly amazed at how the podcast has grown, reaching tens of thousands every single week, and more importantly, helping so many people through the subjects we’re tackling.

💙 100% of all proceeds from tomorrow night go directly to su***de prevention and men’s mental health charities.

Dream big 💙

Second Year Running — Irish Karting Grand Prix ✅🎥🏁

Delighted to have delivered another successful production of the Irish Karting Grand Prix this year! Over the two days, we used a 7-camera, multi-angle setup to capture every moment — all made possible my incredible team working behind the scenes.

Huge thanks to the Irish Karting Grand Prix Committee for once again trusting Arkmedia with the broadcast services. We ran this broadcast via our Starlink satellite — ensuring a strong, stable connection throughout.

The feedback has been amazing, and we truly appreciate every message and comment we’ve received. No job is too big or too small for Arkmedia.

If you’re planning a livestream or event broadcast, feel free to drop us a message — we’d love to be part of it.
