This week, for the final episode of Season 2, I sit down with Suzanne Kane — a lifelong radio lover, self-confessed audio anorak, and one of Ireland’s most genuine voices both on and off the airwaves.
Suzanne’s story began in a shed at 14 years old broadcasting as Sue Jackson. From driving promo vans to becoming Spin FM’s very first Spinny, she built her career from the ground up — nothing was handed to her.
In this episode we talk about:
🎧 Her deep love of radio as a place of true connection
💬 How being told “women don’t like women on air” shaped her — and how she’s rewriting that story
🌿 The reality of leaving a long-term show and navigating what she calls “the in-between” — the lonely, quiet space between endings and new beginnings
💖 Her commitment to kindness, even in difficult spaces, and the incredible wave of support she’s received from women saying, “We see you, we miss you and we know\"
Suzanne opens up about the cost of toxic work environments, the courage it takes to walk away, and the rediscovery that follows when you finally say enough is enough.
This conversation is raw, real, and filled with heart — a reminder that sometimes the most powerful chapters are the ones that come after we stop performing and start reconnecting with who we truly are.
