Podcast Corner: Waffly versatile Tommy Tiernan shines as he adapts to lockdown era   

By his own admission, he's 'waffling'... but the Navan man's podcasts have been attracting big audiences for a format that seems to work particularly well during lockdown 

Tommy Tiernan's podcasts are a regular fixture on top of the charts. 

"This is how I pass the time, wafflin' in an unchallenged way," Tommy Tiernan says halfway through 'Fear', the most recent episode of his titular podcast.

Tiernan has been making a living out of his own acclaimed form of wafflin' for decades, from renowned standup sets to his critically acclaimed Saturday night chat show on RTÉ. And when the standup tours were halted due to Covid-19, Tiernan found himself hooking up with his old pal Hector Ó hEochagáin to start The Tommy and Hector Podcast last September. We've covered that show already and it's continuing with its jovial, down-the-pub conversations.
