Finding Fintan O’Toole – Part 2

It was the conversation that was just too good to call time on. When you’re talking to someone as informed and interesting as Fintan O’Toole, time has a tendency to slip away. And that’s exactly what happened when Fintan and I caught up a couple of weeks ago to talk about his new book ‘We don’t know ourselves’ and a lot more besides. We went deep on so many big topics but we also went very personal, talking about Fintan’s childhood stammer, how many of his childhood friends ended up on heroin and in very difficult situations, and also fascinating insights in to his creative process. All of that is in part 1 – this episode is part 2 of our chat, and Fintan in is fine form on subjects like Sinn Fein, patriotism, Boris Johnson, and his critics. This is another good one folks. COMEDY - The most bizarre news of the week has been the advice from Health Minister Stephen Donnelly that Christmas pantomimes should be allowed to go ahead as planned this year, but that children should not attend them. What?? Yes I was as shocked as you - the news has been spreading fast and some global leaders have also been giving their reaction. The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of AudioBrand Hosted on Acast.
