in late 2017, Michael Colgan was all over the Irish media, for reasons to which I alluded to start of the programme I made to be broadcast at Christmas 2017 as part of my series The Joe Jackson Tapes Revisited. it was pulled at the last moment by RTE. They had “sound problems” I was told, a phrase that can be read in many ways. I protested.  I argued that an interview I did in 2003 in which I set out to probe the psyche of Michael Colgan “would be of public interest and even perform a public service!” To no avail. it was never broadcast. I now am delighted, during this age of podcasts, to finally be able to get to the public programme that should have been heard in 2017-  despite its "sound problems." Enjoy.
