  • Wonderful

    Honest and frank view into parts of society that we don’t normally hear from.

    Some really hard luck stories but all the people he talks to, have a warmth and openness that’s hard to find these days.

    I wish every podcast was this good.

    Keep up the good work, Paddy.

  • Paddy’s Podcast

    He was always a breath of fresh air on the radio and now it’s just great to hear the stories of normal folk again. He has a great soothing voice.
