Navigating New York with Colin Broderick
On this week’s episode I chat to Colin Broderick, a Northern Irish author, filmmaker and playwright living in New York City. Colin is a man I have wanted on the Podcast since I started Navigating New York, his work has had a profound effect on me personally and I was honored to have had this chat with him.
Just 14 years ago, Colin was nearing the end of the road. Lost in the depths of alcohol addiction Colin found himself in the unfortunate position of being completely down and out in New York. From spending time in Jail to asking strangers for dollars around Time Square to fuel his alcohol addiction – Colin describes in this episode the moment his life changed, when he was either going to end his life, or try to recover.
And recover he has; today Colin has written 4 books, ‘Orangutan’ ‘That’s That’ ‘The Writing Irish of New York’ and ‘Church End’. He has written and directed 2 incredible feature films “Emerald City” and “A Bend in the River” and on the morning of our recording, "A Bend in the River" had just received 2 IFTA Nominations.
What I admire most about Colin is his honesty, he never sugar coats how bad things got for him and that makes his journey to where he is now even more brilliant. No one has navigated New York quite like this man and I hope through this Episode and by checking out Colin's work you will be inspired too. . You can check out all of Colin's books and information about his films at colinbroderick.com and I very much encourage you to do so - you won't regret it!
