The people of Ireland clearly have great taste, as I was invited to appear on another two Irish radio shows!

The first was the Red Rooster Show on Cork’s Red FM.  This was a really fun interview with two very amusing hosts: KC & “Lenny from Blarney”!  My part was phoned in using my mobile phone, so I hope the sound quality was good enough.  I was asked what the ultimate blag would be, and I said that I would love to blag a holiday, somehow.  I hate to think how much buttering up would be required to score a holiday, but I do love a challenge!

The second interview was for Dublin’s Phantom FM.  This was a very relaxed interview with Roisin O’Dea about the Silly Beggar concept.  I discussed the book’s penguin theme (obsession?).  It amused me that when I looked up the station’s website to provide a link, I saw that I was billed thus: “Plus - we’ll be chatting to James Spence, author of “Silly Beggar”, who spent a year getting by on handouts.” I did?  My memory must be getting worse!  I love this ‘Chinese whispers’ description of the project!
