Glendenning was born in Birr, County Offaly and attended Cistercian College, Roscrea, and then studied for a degree in Arts at University College Dublin, but did not complete.
He is perhaps best known for his work on the Guardian's football podcast Football Weekly hosted by James Richardson. He also regularly contributes to the site's satirical daily email service, The Fiver. He is often found at the helm of the Guardian Unlimited "minute by minute reports", which feature live text coverage of Premier League and Champions League games and internationals.
He can also be heard co-hosting the Warm-Up with Max Rushden on Talksport on Sunday mornings 11am - 1pm.
The Guardian printed an apology in response to complaints regarding comments made by Barry in a segment about Sir Jack Hayward on a football podcast, when Hayward was described as having been "quite openly xenophobic and racist". Glendenning also later apologised for his choice of words.
He is a supporter of Sunderland AFC. He is also a Seinfeld fan having once mentioned the show on a podcast.
