Episode description

Richard Ford, the Pulitzer Prize winning author, joins Joe and Dion on this week’s Free State.

Before he became a novelist, Richard was a sportswriter. He talks to Dion and Joe about why he will defend America when people attack it, his views on President Biden and an extraordinary and hilarious encounter with Muhammad Ali in 1969.

We also find out what happened to Joe’s own unfinished Great Irish Novel, a novel inspired by the works of Richard Ford.

Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.
