In this episode host Emmett Scanlon talk to Sean Finegan, a comedian who is one part of the very successful and very funny comedy trio Foil Arms and Hogg. Now together for 12 years, the men found each other and began working together in the concrete bowels of the Belfield campus in University College Dublin. At the time Sean was studying architecture but on the Richview campus, a twenty minute walk or so from the drama society where Sean tells me he found himself hanging out more that he thought he should, choosing drama over drawing, strutting over structures. Recorded from a room he recently built at the back of his house with architect Ryan Kennihan, Sean talks about his time studying architecture, working with an architect on the design of his house, he recalls the atmosphere of design crits in college, how to be critical to be kind when working with other people and how Dermot Bannon just might be untouchable when it comes to sketch comedy.
