“He died three days later. Nobody knew where he came from” - Alice Leahy
23 Nov 2025
Homeless campaigner, and founder of The Alice Leahy Trust, Alice Leahy, tells Brendan about her vocation, her late husband Charlie, and how she nearly became a vet and now reminds people several times a day that she is not a nun. Marking the publication of her new book ‘Outsiders’ she chooses five songs that form the soundtrack to her life, including Ralph McTell’s ‘Streets of London’, ‘The Parting Glass’ and ‘I Dreamt I Dwelt In Marble Halls’.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
