This week’s episode is a special one for me.

I’m joined by a man who, without even realising it, helped shape my path in broadcasting. We’ve worked together many times, but this is the first time we’ve sat down properly to talk about where it all began, from his early days behind the mic to helping build Midwest Radio into one of the country’s biggest stations.

If you’re in the west of Ireland, you’ll instantly recognise the voice. So get comfortable and enjoy my conversation with Gerry Glennon.

In this episode, I sit down with actor, writer, and comedian John Colleary for a wide ranging and deeply personal conversation about his journey into the world of performance. From his early days growing up in County Sligo to his experiences living abroad, John reflects on the moments and influences that shaped both his life and career.

We dive into how he first found his footing in the industry, the twists and turns that led him to where he is today, and some of the standout projects he’s worked on including the iconic series The Savage Eye.

Along the way, we share plenty of laughs, memories from the set, and honest insights into the realities of working in comedy and television.

It’s a thoughtful, funny, and nostalgic conversation you won’t want to miss.

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by Jodie McGuinness. Jodie is the sister of Natalie McGuinness, who was tragically murdered in County Sligo. In this episode, Jodie shares Natalie’s story, the impact her loss has had on their family, and the strength it takes to keep her sister’s memory alive. It’s a deeply personal and important conversation about grief, justice (or lack of), and the human reality behind the headlines.
