The Keith Walsh Podcast
Eugene O'Brien
Ep. 136
•
You'll love this guy! As a big fan of the play Eden and the TV show 'Pure Mule', I was delighted to get the opportunity to talk to the man who wrote them, Eugene O'Brien. They say never meet people you admire (hero might be a bit strong) but Eugene was extremely sound. We chatted about his new book, Going Back, a story about Scoby Donoghue's return from Australia to the midlands town where he grew up. We also touched on topics like mental health, small towns, the booze and the brilliant story of the time he met William S Burroughs. Ace! I loved the chat and you will too!

48:34It's been a while but I finally found the time to record an interview for the podcast and it was well worth it. Recorded at the start of the summer it's taken me a fair while to get around to publishing the feckin' thing and for that, I apologise to John. Time, time, time! I actually blame John for my tardiness! He told me to relax, be in the moment, and publish podcasts really late. At least I think that's what he said. Either way, 'tis out now! We had a crackin' chat about his new book The Stream of Everything and covered some of its themes. The main messages from the interview are: Love yourself, spend time on a river, be more present and be even more silly.The Stream of Everything is out now and is published by Gill.134.
