Adrian talked openly and honestly about life, how he got the late-night FM104 Phoneshow job?, the highs and lows of 17 years presenting the FM104 Phoneshow.

Then, moving on to host Dublin Talks, a morning radio show on 98FM for over seven years, the effects of losing his job and coming out the other side with a podcast with Jeremy Dixon.
