Joyce Fegan: Why does 'The Tommy Tiernan Show' get us talking?

The show cuts through the noise of Instagram stories, Healy-Raes shouting, Candy Crush, vaccine delays and ever-changing Met Éireann reports. It cuts through the noise because these are conversations worth having, writes Joyce Fegan

As Tommy Tiernan asks intense, intimate questions of his guests, he asks them of us too.

It takes a lot to get people talking nowadays.

An Irish newspaper used to have a section called 'People are Talking', which covered some of the national talking points from that week.
