Matt Cooper: 'My ambition is to be as popular as Vogue Williams and Joanne McNally'

As Matt Cooper brings his live podcast to his native Cork,  he is sure about his role models, even if he won't be using inflatable dolls at his show

Matt Cooper is one of the participants in Cork Podcast Festival. 

The seeds of Matt Cooper’s success as a broadcaster were sown at an early age, when he was a schoolboy at St Joseph’s NS in the Mardyke, Cork.

“I remember there was a couple of us who had a pretend radio station that we used to do during breaks when we were in second or third class. I was listening a lot to radio at home with my parents, and I was reading newspapers avidly from an early age. I always had that desire to be a journalist.”
