How Joe Duffy changed Irish radio forever

Back in 2007, I interviewed Joe Duffy in the seafront house in Clontarf, where he still lives with his wife, June, and where they raised their triplets, Ellen, Sean, and Ronan. The broadcaster, who will step down as host of Liveline next Friday after 27 years, was then 51 years of age, and he was his usual very good company. He yarned and cracked jokes ("Isn't it funny how Gay Byrne only became a household name when he retired?") but he was also very passionate about his radio show, a mix of the deadly serious, the light-hearted and the plain odd that embraced all human life. However, as soon as I clicked my tape recorder off, Joe put on a show of mock indignation and said: "I'm annoyed that you didn't come to look at my fire engines..." And there they were, ranging from the vintage to the modern, and taking up two shelves in his living room - Joe Duffy's collection of model fire brigades. "This one cost a ton," he said, lapsing into Dublinese and picking up a cute little red number that might have caught his attention when he was a child growing up in Ballyfermot. Fire engines, eh? The metaphor was almost too clunky to mention, but impossible to ignore as Joe Duffy has been putting out fires and starting a few of his own as host of Liveline over the past 27 years. And now it's all coming to an end next Friday when Duffy (who is now 69) will hang up the phone, but maybe not the mic for the last time. Politicians, publicans, bankers, TV producers (take that, Normal People!) and just about anyone who has provoked the ire of the great Irish public is not safe or sacred on a show that truly cuts to the heart of public access radio and public service broadcasting. In its soon-to-depart host's own words, Liveline was "a brilliant weathervane for subterranean Ireland". It is a phone-in show that is never phoney, and with Joe at the helm, it really became the sound of a nation talking to itself. Duffy was the everyman at the end of the phone who could cut to the heart of a story with journalistic rigour and an avuncular approachability. His empathetic sigh punctuated many an afternoon, and his slowly, slowly, catchy monkey approach to teasing out the heart of a story and giving all sides their say made him a brilliant listener, but with antennae tuned to the right questions to ask. He uncovered harrowing stories of institutional abuse, medical scandals, and helped right wrongs for consumers left out of pocket. Scammers were scorned, and politicians were all but banned from Liveline under Joe's watch. As he often said, "I am disliked equally by the banks, the powerbrokers, the newspapers and RTÉ itself." If people couldn't get a reply from a company, a TD, or a minister, they would call Joe. Liveline also became the place to tell the stories Ireland wasn't always ready to hear. From survivors of abuse, institutional neglect and discrimination, Joe gave them a place to talk openly and without fear of judgement in a country that is often too quick to judge. Just last Tuesday, Liveline lit up with discussions about the Israel-Iran war, organ donations, and, well, a pregnant Irish woman's craving for Erin's mushroom soup in Zimbabwe in 1988. Liveline was a lifeline for the dispossessed and the plain pissed-off, and it made Joe Duffy a household name. This was a show that could go anywhere and often did. Sob stories, incredibly sad stories, mad stories and bad stories – all guided by Duffy's journalistic rigour and keen ear for a human interest story. Anyone who worked on the show over the years will tell you that they wouldn't have a clue what was going to happen seconds before they went on air. That or they didn't have anything to talk about. But this is Ireland, so that never lasted very long. As he said on The Late Late Show in May, "I go into the studio with an idea of how it might start, but no idea how it will end. It could end in laughter; it could end in tears." How did he do it all these long years? You'd need the patience of a saint, not to mention an industrial bulls*** detector. "I come out of the show every day kicking myself," he said during that 2007 interview. "I miss myself when I do try to kick myself. I come out every day thinking, 'why didn't I say this, why didn't I move to that quicker?'" But he was always on the side of the caller and not some remote figure up in Montrose, despite being the highest-paid person in RTÉ over the past few years. The former student activist and prison social worker was the perfect host for Liveline. Then again, he had an accent you didn't hear very often on the radio, least of all from the host of the second most listened-to programme in the country. Neither was Joe given to slick patter or the kind of aimless musings that fill up too much airtime. Joe, who always wore his intelligence and love of culture lightly, was never the story. Liveline is about giving ordinary people the power to break stories, vent frustrations and speak their truth in real time. He let the nation do the talking - the now semi-mythologised "woman from Clontarf" has long since become the Irish equivalent of the man on the Clapham omnibus. Now the "most curious boy in the class", as one of his school teachers used to call him, is bowing out. It's no exaggeration to say that he changed Irish radio and helped change the actual country forever and for the better. The show celebrates 40 years on air this year, and Joe can depart the hot seat in the knowledge that it is still the second most listened-to radio programme in Ireland. Speaking live on air the day he announced his retirement last May, he said, "People felt they could pick up the phone, ring Liveline, and share their lives, problems, stories - sad, bad, sometimes mad and funny, their struggles, and their victories. I never took that for granted, not for a single minute." The triplets are now 30 and making their own way in the world, and Joe is 69. It's time for a change of gear for Duffy, but there is a quip from his late mother Mabel that he always circles back to and one that never gets old. "My mother always had a great line," Duffy said. "She was down at the shops in Ballyer years ago and someone who had just returned to the area after a few years said to her, 'Mabel, I hear your Joseph is working in RTÉ - what's he doing?' And she said, 'He answers the phones.'"

Gay GAA star admits nerves at football return after 'coming out' on podcast

Gay football star Kevin Penrose has opened up about his nerves returning to the sport after launching his podcast. The Tyrone player admitted he felt like he had to 'come out' all over again when he did his GAA Social podcast earlier this year. Kevin had told his family, friends and team-mates in 2022. He said of going back to playing: 'I remember the first match back… I thought, OK, the majority of these lads have most likely listened to this podcast in the past couple of weeks and I know they know. 'So I felt nervous walking across the pitch and in the changing rooms, you get that bit of paranoia. 'But everything was grand. You meet different lads at the changing room doors, they'd shake your hand and say well done. 'It brings you back, you just don't know what to expect.' Since launching his own podcast, the GAA Social, the travel influencer, 31, said it has helped many people feel comfortable with their sexuality. He added: 'Even to this day... like the podcast was how many months ago. 'I came out three years ago, but the podcast felt like I was coming out again but to a much larger audience and really honing in on that GAA demographic, which is teenagers to 60 plus year olds. 'People even come up to me in person and shake my hand…it's hard to know what to say to them in those moments because every journey is different but I'm glad they're finding some sort of comfort in it that they can see there is so much goodness and joy on the other side. 'I was guilty of it myself. I keep thinking that everything would go wrong in my life and you never stop to think that everything could go right so I'm glad that people have taken something from it.' But he said he found it hard reading the negative comments about his sexuality. He added: 'It was more like on Facebook. The comments were completely different to what I'd see on Instagram. 'Again, Facebook is a different demographic and they're older. 'I think people were just saying again, 'Why is this guy making a song and dance about coming out?' Pride month for example, like asking 'why do we need Pride month?' You're sort of answering your own question with your ignorance because this is exactly why we need it. 'I've been very lucky I haven't experienced anything negative. 'The likes of people on Facebook probably didn't even listen to the podcast, they just see the headline.' Kevin was speaking at the launch of SuperValu's new limited-edition Pride themed Bag for Life. Available this month in SuperValu stores across the country, the bold and bright rainbow tote is set to be the must-have bag of the summer and is available to purchase for €3. Profits will go to Belong To – LGBTQ+ Youth Ireland, the national LGBTQ+ youth organisation. Kevin said: 'I am delighted to team up with SuperValu for this important campaign supporting the incredible work of Belong To. As someone who has been through the journey of coming out within the GAA community, I'm incredibly passionate about allyship, and inclusion both on and off the pitch. 'By buying one of these bags and 'Carrying it with Pride', you are sending a powerful message that no matter who you are, you belong. 'I hope a campaign like this not only gives people the courage to be themselves but also reminds everyone to stand up and be proud allies for the LGBTQ+ community.'

From that Small Island RTÉ One, 6.30pm Attention turns to the first Irish diaspora, which ran from 1600 to 1700, a time when thousands of emigrants left the country in search of new lives in continental Europe. The final episode follows John Gallagher's exploration of his surname. He begins by hearing about the family's mention in the Guinness Book of Records before meeting Dr Pádraig Ó Liatháin, who introduces him to The Gallagher Family Commonplace Book, a collection of Irish legends, prayers, poems and recipes. The Gold BBC One, 9pm The drama's final two episodes air this week. Boyce comes face-to-face with an old enemy, just as the police think they're about to make a breakthrough. Later, a Spanish manhunt gets under way, just as a trial begins in London. Skyfall RTÉ One, 9.30pm Arguably the best of Daniel Craig's James Bond outings sees 007 on the trail of a mysterious criminal mastermind, a hunt that becomes very close to home indeed. Javier Bardem plays the villain, with Judi Dench making her last appearance as M. ADVERTISEMENT Saltburn BBC One, 10.30pm Superb black comedy-thriller from writer and director Emerald Fennell. Barry Keoghan plays a working-class student who develops an unhealthy obsession with an aristocratic classmate (Jacob Elordi). Rosamund Pike and Carey Mulligan co-star. Murderer Behind The Mask Prime Video, streaming now True crime isn't just the purview of Netflix, you know, and this Prime Video offering about Elaine O'Hara and Graham Dwyer hits particularly close to home. It highlights how An Garda Síochana meticulously pieced together the truth, turning an overlooked case into one of Ireland's most haunting murder trials. Back in September 2013, the remains of childcare worker O'Hara were discovered in the Dublin mountains. Initially believed to be a suicide, her case took a twisted tangent when fishermen stumbled upon crucial evidence leading to Dwyer, a respected architect who lived in Foxrock with his wife and kids. Beneath his carefully crafted facade lurked a secret life fuelled by a dark stabbing obsession, revealed through his disturbing text exchanges with O'Hara. Over the course of two 45-minute instalments, this Wag Entertainment-produced series purports to uncover how the investigation unfolded and the tragic story behind Elaine's murder. The Waterfront Netflix, streaming now From the makers of Dawson's Creek and Scream, we have this deliciously ridiculous number inspired by true events. It centres on the Buckley family, who have ruled Havenport, North Carolina, for decades. Now, with their patriarch, Harlan (Holt McCallany), recovering from multiple heart attacks (not helped by his predilection for impromptu punching sessions with his son), they resort to drug smuggling courtesy of a surprising face (belonging to Topher Grace). For more glossy, far-fetched US drama, season three of Manifest is available from Monday. The Buccaneers AppleTV+, streaming now Apple's answer to Bridgerton (but with bonus Americans) is here with its second season. Grenfell: Uncovered Netflix, streaming now Exploring the events leading up to the 2017 Grenfell Tower fire, this heart-rendering documentary reveals decisions by businesses and government that contributed to the tragedy. Somebody Feed Phil Netflix, streaming now This time, Phil visits Amsterdam, Tbilisi, Sydney, Adelaide, Manila, Vegas, Guatemala, San Sebastián and Boston, while enjoying a spot of bone gnawing with Ray Romano and Brad Garrett along the way. The Many Deaths of Nora Dalmasso Netflix, streaming now She wasn't rich, famous, or part of the swinger set. Rather 'a symbol of what happens to those who stray from the patriarchal mould'. In other unsolved murder documentaries on Netflix, we have I'm Your Venus, landing on Monday.
