Some opposition politicians have waspishly suggested that Micheál should save ‘Our Electorate Ghosted Us’ for when he teams up for a podcast series with Leo after the general election
Micheál’s venture is not a one-off. Monday’s effort was ominously and grandiosely described as “his inaugural audiocast”. Presumably a plaque will be unveiled in the studio as soon as the convalescing Michael D returns to public duties.
His occasional series is called In Conversation because he will be conversing with people who are happy to let him hold forth on the questions he has just asked them.Such as: “Smoke Ban Man” or “Fianna Fáil Saved Me from Diphtheria” or “In Terms of...” or “Ad Idem with Me”. On his maiden outing, the former taoiseach was “in conversation” with Dr Mark Henry, a psychologist and statistician whose book In Fact: An Optimist’s Guide to Ireland at 100 was a best-seller in 2021. In it, he examines the achievements of the developing Irish State over the last century.The time flew by so fast it was like falling asleep when your plane takes off and waking up after it lands.
He didn’t. Instead, he welcomed Dr Henry and listeners to their “chat” about “the quality of life in Ireland today through the lens of issues that impact us all such as the economy, education and wellbeing and health. And, of course, the many challenges that face us in terms of climate change, biodiversity, housing and the cost of living.”There was neither cut nor thrust to this meeting of minds.
