Tom Murphy, as I say in the new intro for this podcast, which itself was pulled from broadcasting at the last moment by one particular power-that-be in RTE, is my favourite Irish playwright and one of my favourite interviewees. And this is one of my favourite interviews, which will appeal in particular to artists in any field. It is an astounding exploration of creativity. I made the show a few days after the man died, in 2018, it was meant to be my personal tribute but it was never broadcast and is now, happily a podcast Enjoy
