I love Shane Lynch. Used to be a Boyzone fan in my teenage years. Also, his accent melts me 🤤🤩

He's got thru his dark times, and knows how to deal with them from now on. Great interview. So humble, and easy on the eye, too 😍😁✨

Well done James we need to discuss the topic of depression and mental illness in men! Far too many lost that just never spoke out 💯

James English is officially the guy who removed me from sitting in front of the TV and got me watching these podcasts

James English is a million times better than joe rogan! James podcasts are the best on KZfaq

I loved this ,Shane was always my favourate .What a humble man he is too

Shane seems such a good guy, always comes across as deep thinker too me,looking forward to this

Loved this. Shane seems a great guy. Could watch him for hours. Absolutely gorgeous too!

Shane is so right, James you have no idea how much you help others by bringing light to situations, i know for me with depression and Anxiety how hard to give a shit each day and then feel shit because you feel selfish and not thinking of others, i been in my house 12 years only ever went out for hospital appointments, i still don`t go out i stay in my safe zone, so watching listening to yourself and Shane removes that stigma that depression has, you know we get fed up getting told get a grip of urself or wisen up move on so hats of to you guys thank you xx

Another one that surpassed my expectations! Shane is a top fella and very down to earth. Wish him well for the future.

One of the best interviews you have done!! Loved this. Being a sufferer of the black dog I know what its like to feel negative all the time. Thank you for sharing. The addict in me cannot get enough of your podcasts!!! ❤️

Excellent podcast James. Shane was always my favourite, and what a nice guy he is. Thank you Shane for sharing and to you James keep creating, and mire power to you brother 💕✊🏾⭐

Aww no questions about Eternal and marrying one of them. part 2 Please 😁

Shane Lynch is a class act. Very real guy. You're doing a great job James. You're getting real content. 👍👍

Thanks very much Shane.brillant interview.proud of u.well done James English.up the Scottish and Irish.love the Scots.

Shayne Lynch has the biggest heart. My 2 boys have dyslexia,1 became a clown and sometimes aggressive, the other was like Shane, but threw himself into drama classes at school,he once showed me how he read,as a book lover I was amazed but with sheer guts,determination and me grassing his dyslexia up ,he wouldn’t admit it,he got to Uni and got a 2:1 in drama and theatre. I’d love to work with Shane and schools to get the best out of the kids with dyslexia. As u said some of the most intelligent people in history suffered but made a difference. Thanks for opening peoples eyes.

God I used to love boyzone ❤️

Not even started watching but respect to any man who can admit their flaws and weakness a very hard thing for us to do

"The most powerful people on this planet have been kind of ***ked up" That is so true James! Remember that quote... "If you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree it will spend its whole life believing he is stupid" ... Another great watch Xx

One of the most realist men you've had on 💪

Six minutes in and I already love this dude , respect 💙💚

It's funny how you go from all these hard men to a boy band member but it's still great. Actually refreshing. Really enjoyed this.

What an awesome awesome interview. My prayers are definitely there for you, shane that you will continue to Reach out to the platform that you have the capability of reaching. I'm sharing the word of god as you do.

Excellent podcast! Two very decent blokes being real! The world needs more of this! Thank you James 🙏

Good times growing up listening to his music in my household as a kid my mum and sister have passed now but boyzone really did make us happy back then with the little we had. Thankyou shane Yet again james great podcast Love Rose X

Rip Wildman

Probably my fave podcast yet. Shane dropping some truth there in the last quarter.

Once again pulled it out the bag. So deep, real and gripping 👌

This is amazing James, from feeling like a interviews, this is the first time it felt like it was just a conversation. Both give and take and opening up. James keep it up you are doing so much good. Shane is such a good lad, and open about so much I could take a lot from myself with what he was saying.

You really are my favourite at the minute MR ENGLISH, thankyou for giving me something too look forward to whilst I'm furloughed from work 👌❤️

BOOM WE’RE ON!!!! Never cease to sunrise me with your guests James! Loving it mate top work as always brother!!

Like this guy .Genuine person. Christian. Can't wait to hear his life story James .Another peach guest . Your on your way pal . Greetings from yoker Davie boy..

Loved this podcast James could listen to Shane and that Irish accent all day long.. Keep them coming James 👍

100% looking forward to this.. Keep up the GREAT Work M8 These Podcasts have kept me Sane this Year 👌👏👏👏

Great interview AGAIN! Shows how big the podcast is getting, boyzone we’re megastars and Shane seems a top bloke hope he continues on his great path...keep them coming James my favourite podcast by far listened to all of these on nights at work 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Nice one Shane u r a tru inspiration ! Hallelujah

Great fit for you James, Shane is a deep thinker and exploring mind. Well done on getting Shane on your show.

'Ah fuck it, let's give it a go' truly are wise words to live by!

Lads brilliant brilliant interview...I'm part of the fellowship myself....from Dublin...............I like Shane, it took a while lol but I started to understand Shane. Yeah there was some controversy surrounding Shane early doors Boyzone. Some interviews and awards where Shane was't very nice or came across as a badboy on camera cursing etc...But great show lads really enjoyed it

Irish accent brilliant love it 💕

Loved this thanks James.

Iv got a lot in common with Shane. Very bad dyslexia and depression I get what he says 100%

Another great podcast James. I thoroughly enjoyed this. It's great to hear the truth behind media stories. You've kept me entertained whilst I've had a few days off work prepping for Christmas. Thankyou x

This is 1 of the most interesting podcasts yet! Always been into his drifting career and who’d have thought he’s got issues like the rest of us, keep it banging brother. Love the show

Excellent - another pod cast I would never have thought on listening to because 'I didn't think I'd like the person etc' just shows you!!

Love these podcasts James they really help me in my own recovery..

Great interview. It's true, really does help others to relate. x

Churning them out faster than I can watch them James. Was never a massive fan but was very interesting to watch and good to hear the bad times as well as the good x

What a good dude and yet another great podcast! I think one of the best thing about podcasts apart from listening to people's story is you became a fan of people you wouldn't have before listening....

Another great Podcast James. Never knew how down to earth Shane was. Really enjoyed watching it mate

Great interview. Watched the whole interview. This sort of media is growing and it’s nice to see new talents and formats

Enjoyed that, Shane seems like a top bloke. Goes to show you shouldn’t judge people until you see the real person, not the one the media portray

I went to see Boyzone in Inverness the tour after Stephen died and you could see the pain they were all going through but more so Shane, he looked broken. So glad to see he's speaking up and working on his demons. Keep up the good work James

Omg what a man!!!! Beautiful podcast 🥰

Everyone seems to struggle no matter what. It seems to be life in this world. Love your pod cast james. Your so real. Jean.. lpool

One day I was going out for a meal with my dad and his Mrs . And when I said I would drive he asked me what was wrong ! He said that’s not our way and made my old man feel awkward that’s strange because he didn’t understand how anybody could enjoy a conversation without drinking ( Irish mentality) it’s the old school way of thinking but I couldn’t break that until I moved away and could do as I wished ! At home I wasn’t strong enough!

Shane is still a ride, Mammy potato one of the biggest boy zone fans ever💚 Shane or Keith married them a few times in my head 🤣🤣🤣

Enjoyed this.. very grounded,. ( 28.17 ) Think the term he is looking for is 'Imposter Syndrome!' Shayne comes across very well...Good heart and sound roots coming through...

Sounds like a top guy Cool dude as well

Great interview, I am dyslexic and can identify with you both and I was same in school acting class clown to mask my insecurities with being dyslexic. It's good to see the real ppl behind what we see on tv . Great guest and great podcast and keep up good work.

Brilliant so far, great guest to have on your show, So funny.

Love James’ podcasts 👍

Inspirational best yet james x

Very interesting James, bet he’s got some crazy stories from back in the day! 😜🔥🙌

Enjoyed that James - can you play an instrument No - can you you sing No - that’s what you call winging it. FairPlay to you Shane and good luck in your new journey ❤️

Interview r so good I think as u have been to much urself u understand u come across so good keep up the good work

What a great chap. Awesome podcast 👊🏼

Good on you James and Shane you are one of many greatest artists today

Another brilliant podcast excellent James 👍👍

Enjoyed this one. "You reap what you sow" ODAAT 💚 🙏

What a top guy, love an Irish accent

Another 5 STAR podcast by the best ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Life is a rollercoaster, just gotta ride it - Ronan Keating 😂 cheers fellas, very enjoyable podcast.

Heard a lot about this kid on KZfaq James English, thought I'd give him a go, so glad I did. There are a lot of these type of podcasts about but when you find one as good as his are, with the massive range of guests he has on. Total Breath Of Fresh Air....keep it going James the stratosphere is awaiting. Move over Joe Rogin there is a new kid on the block. 🤙

Fantastic interview 👏👏

Fucking love Shane.... Loved Boyzone.. This is brilliant 👏🏼 I shaved my eyebrow to be like him 🤣🤣

Cracking interview. Got lost in it for ages

Just great stuff James keep doing u. 👍🇺🇸🗽🇬🇧👍

Loved boyzone back in the day good luck to yer Shane 👍👍

Best podcaster going. Great guests lately

Great interview James 🇮🇪🇮🇪

Will give this a listen tonight! Cheers James

looking forward to this one

The main problem with depression is you know when your going down but hard as you try you can’t stop it you just have to have the strength to believe it will pass as quickly as it came.be strong it always passes

Another absolutely brilliant podcast James, thought Shane was brilliant 👏 x

Great podcast again james

Great podcast as per James ☘

Great story to tell top works

Great interview

I'm the same age as Shane and like most men and women our age, we would have very poor memories of our times in school. I actually ended up becoming a school teacher myself down the line! I can assure everybody that the standard of teaching is way superior to what went on before. I can also say that schools are much more caring and compassionate places now. I also think that a lot of the people who worked as teachers back in our day would never have entered the profession in this era as they would have been far better advised on what careers to pursue. That goes for management and government as well.

Mental health is bloody horrible to live with .addiction .so glad more people are speaking about it .back 20 years ago .I was pretty much hidden

Lookin forward to this, hope yir intae cars James cos that man can peddle. 🤙

That was excellent, the big guy Lynch came across well.

I only ever knew Shane from boy zone as I was coming up ..was never my genre . But glad to see there’s a lot more fibre to his fabric than I’d thought . I’ve struggled with dislexia through my life ..in the same schemes as you James . Good to hear people talking about it and there experience with it . Good luck to you Shane and to you James 👌🏻

Sleep in the Church brilliant.............love it

A great podcast And a great interesting guest Keep it up 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Am watching this video on March 30, 2024. Hope Shane Lynch is OK.

Really good podcast!! Knew Shane would've been a good interview!!

ONE INTELLIGENT BLOKE, I WILL TAKE GOODS THINGS FROM THIS TO HELP MYSELF. FANTASTIC.
