Born in 1970, Manchán Magan grew up in Donnybrook, Dublin. He came to national attention in the 1990s with his global travel programmes for TG4. 

Along with travel, his other wide-ranging interests are captured in books, plays, novels, documentaries and podcasts. They include the Irish language, etymology, immigration and most recently the Irish bog.
