Colm Tóibín: Free State Special
Episode description
Colm Tóibín is one of Ireland’s greatest living writers. He joins Dion on this Free State Special for a wide-ranging chat on Ireland today, what he believes is keeping Sinn Fein out of government and the time he spent with Alan Black, the only survivor of the Kingsmill Massacre. He considers happiness and introspection, the rise of Ozempic and the reason why you can’t talk about it with users in America. He also talks about becoming one of Oprah Winfrey’s favourite writers as well as a Tik Tok sensation and why he wouldn’t be on any social media site owned by a fascist.
Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
