David O'Doherty

podcasts there are millions of them some might say too many i have one already i don't have any because there are enough politics business sport you name it there's a podcast about it and they all ask the big questions and cover the hot topics of the day but nobody is covering the most important topic of all why is that are they scared too afraid of being censored by the man

Day before yesterday, Max?

Nope.

The greatest and most interesting day of your life?

Like Blackadder, certainly.

But then the Friday Night Live shows on Channel 4, the fact that they sort of introduced me to stand-up comedy as we know it.

In particular, he introduced an Irish stand-up called Kevin McAleer.

I mean, it's just, it's such a huge seminal.

The Young Ones, I still remember so many bits.

They come to my mind of that show.

What a life.

Because that's only, he's written 16 novels, I believe.

Stuff like We Will Rock You.

I mean, are you shitting me?

Yeah, I am intrigued to find out what he did yesterday.

We are doing this chat to coincide with the paperback release of his autobiography, What Have I Done?

And that is a name with some resonance considering some of the absolute losers we've had on this podcast.

If he is trying to rip off this podcast, I'm going straight to the back, the index, and I'm seeing about washing information, what temperature...

What spin cycle?

And I'll put it to him during this podcast.
