I just 'subscribed' but see the last podcast available is such a long time ago... are they not doing podcasts anymore?
Interesting podcast. Lovely memories from her husband Gordon Snell.
The man interviewing is hard to listen to.
His voice is monotonous ,and he sounds like he bored !
Please don’t answer the question FOR the guest. Please edit your questions before the interview so that you can constrain yourself and not spill over into answering FOR them.
The podcast with Joe O'Connor was particularly good. More of the same, please! An excellent forum to showcase literature. Good on The Irish Times for this…no one else is doing this.
