This much I know: Mary Wilson, broadcaster

Hilary Fennell sits down this week with RTÉ Radio 1 ’Drivetime’ broadcaster, Mary Wilson, to chat about the wisdom she’s gained through her career.

I wanted to be a journalist from a very early age.

I grew up in Tipperary, on a farm, and we only had RTÉ 1 on the TV in the 1970s. When women like Nell McCafferty and Mary Kenny appeared on The Late Late Show, they made a big impression on me. I admired those mouthy women greatly and they inspired me.
