The go-to guy

THEY seek him here; they seek him there — an apt phrase for businessman and broadcaster, Anton Savage.

He’s a regular on Ian Dempsey’s Gift Grub, the running joke that he’ll stand in for anyone. Mario Rosenstock’s skits are spot on — barely a week goes by without hearing Savage’s voice on air. He regularly steps in to the presenter’s chair for Matt Cooper, Ray D’Arcy and Ryan Tubridy.

Now he’s got his own, regular radio gig, having jumped into the driving seat of the Sunday Business Show this month — the most turbulent time in Irish business. “I’m not sure if it’s good or bad timing, on my behalf, but to be in the middle of a story which three or four generations of Irish people would never have believed possible, is amazing,” the 33-year-old says.
