Show notes

Matt Cooper is a broadcaster, journalist, and author. Matt talks about his early days in Cork, becoming Ireland’s youngest newspaper editor at 30, and the gamble that led him into radio. He shares stories from his days in the newsroom and the time Dennis Rodman nearly got him arrested in North Korea. We chat about food, family, work ethic, and what keeps him curious after decades in the public eye.
