Second Captains Booking Agency Profile
Second Captains has produced five series of the IFTA-nominated "Second Captains Live" for RTÉ 2 television, as well as radio shows for RTÉ Radio 1. They have also hosted TV shows and live events in various locations, including the UK, San Francisco, New York, and throughout Ireland.
The team of five previously worked on the award-winning "Off The Ball" show on Newstalk national radio station for nine years, leaving in March 2013, which caused major ripples in the Irish media industry. During their gardening leave, they received a great deal of speculation about their next move.
Second Captains celebrated its fifth birthday in 2018 with interviews featuring famous individuals such as Ken Loach, Vincent Browne, Lynne Cox, Michael Chieka, and Paul Kimmage. Additionally, the company launched "The Second Captains World Service" podcast feed in 2017, available only to Second Captains members, and added other programming, such as "The Player's Chair Podcast" hosted by Richie Sadlier, and Ken Early's Political Podcast.
Second Captains has a diverse range of regular guests, including Shane Horgan, Richie Sadlier, Oisín McConville, and Brian Murphy from San Francisco's KNBR radio station, who speaks weekly on US sports. The company's success can be attributed to their excellent content production, high-quality sports broadcasting, and engaging audience interaction..

"How much does it cost to book Second Captains for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final Second Captains booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Second Captains charge for an event. An example fee to book Second Captains is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Second Captains agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Second Captains manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Second Captains for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Second Captains agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Second Captains, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Second Captains booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Second Captains, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
