Show Notes

Author, journalist and broadcaster, Malachi O'Doherty was born in the village of Muff, Co. Donegal in March 1951.  Did you know that Malachi is a twin? And it was suspected that he and his brother may not survive. Soon after the family moved to Ballycastle while his father worked hard in a Belfast bar to feed an ever-increasing brood of children.

Packed full of interesting childhood anecdotes, this episode touches on Malachi's relationship with his Dad and also discusses the similarities between being a freelance journalist and a barman!
