In this week’s episode of Getting to Know You, hosts Chris Hitchcock and Tony Maycock sit down with the inimitable Brendan Balfe — legendary broadcaster, writer, and voice of Irish radio for more than four decades. With warmth and wit, Brendan reflects on a remarkable career that spanned comedy, current affairs, and cultural commentary on RTÉ, as well as his time working alongside some of Ireland’s best-loved radio personalities.
But beyond the microphone, Chris and Tony explore the man himself — his early influences, creative passions, and the personal stories that have shaped his life and outlook. In a conversation filled with humour, nostalgia, and honesty, Brendan discusses his favourite music, books, and films, sharing a few anecdotes from both his professional and private worlds. Inspired by This is Your Life and Desert Island Discs, Getting to Know You invites listeners to enjoy a relaxed and revealing hour with one of Ireland’s true broadcasting greats.
