Daniel M Bradley is guest #35 on Behind The Mic. 

Daniel has had a far from straightforward life. From his first exposure to murder at 13 to dabbling in alcohol and drugs at 15 he quickly went down a dangerous track. 

Like anyone exposed to this type of life early on he becomes a product of his environment which culminates with his house being searched by Gardai at the age of 21. 

At the age of 23, he begins his 4-year sentence for drug possession in the most infamous prison on the island of Ireland. Mount Joy. 

In this episode, Daniel details the highest and lowest points in his life, from addiction to marathon running. 

A true redemption story.

In this episode, I spoke to Gavin about his entry into property investments, his rise and fall, and the role of health, fitness, and wellness in his life and redemption.

On the 23rd of December 1996, French socialite Madame Sophie Toscan Du Plantier was found murdered a couple of hundred meters from her holiday home near the coastal town of Schull in West Cork. The investigation later showed that Madame Du Plantier received several lacerations to her body, and received several brutal blows to the head which ultimately resulted in her losing her life.

Welcome back everybody…. after a small two-week hiatus I am back with another podcast.

This week's guest is Claudia Savage, a journo in training.

Claudia has gathered a handy number of followers on TikTok (16,700 to be exact) over the last few months as she provides regular updates to her followers on all of the main current events and political stories across The Uk and Ireland for the most part.

This podcast is an interesting one. Claudia is from Northern Ireland and reveals how much abuse she gets online for sharing stories from the Republic of Ireland and The Uk. People from both countries are seemingly willing to dish hateful comments here way the second they hear her accent.

In the episode, she also reveals some of the vile DM’s she has received for creating videos regarding male immigrants being welcomed into communities around Ireland.

As has become customary on the latest episodes of Behind The Mic we delve into the left and right divide currently witnessed throughout politics in the western world.

Now my reach out to you.

Please share the podcast, not only does it help me grow my podcast but it also helps many of these other young Irish creators increase their reach and grow their platforms.

You can see it on the usual platforms, Spotify and Youtube. Drop a rating and subscribe people.
