“I grew up with the radio always on in the background:  Sunday Miscellany, Radio 1 news, and radio documentaries were often the springboard for conversations between my parents. 

“My first-ever audio recording was done with our local parish priest in Mayo, when he interviewed myself and two classmates about our upcoming Confirmation. He played it at Knock Shrine over the loudspeakers. Fr Doherty was ahead of his time and recruited a few chatterboxes.
