As you’d expect, Louis Walsh does not hold back in our conversation for this week’s episode – he dishes out the detail on everything and everyone, from his relationship with Brian McFadden and Keith Duffy, to negotiating his X-Factor salary with Simon Cowell, and also what he thought of Britney Spears after spending a couple of days with her on America's Got Talent. But we also find out about the young Louis Walsh, what his parents did for a living, what he was like in school and even how, if he hadn’t become a pop music mogul, he might have become a priest! COMEDY As the Six Nations gets under way, David McWilliams reflects on his hooligan behaviour at international rugby matches in his youth The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey of Audiobrand. www.audiobrand.ie
