Pull the headphones off and head to the David McWilliams live podcast

Ireland’s leading economic commentator David McWilliams will be grabbing the mic and kicking off the Dublin leg of The Island’s Edge Podcast Tour

Following on from the success of the live Blindboy Podcast in Cork last month, the Dublin-leg of The Island’s Edge Podcast Tour kicks off on June 1st. David McWilliams and his co-host John Davis, will be taking the stage at Dublin’s Lost Lane.

Anyone familiar with McWilliams’s podcast will know he covers topics occupying everybody’s mind in Irish culture at the moment. McWilliams’s grounding as an economist allows him to traverse topics as broad as globalisation, housing to the climate crisis with a dizzying level of fluency, while Davis acts as the voice of the everyman, asking the questions listeners are thinking. The pairing always makes for interesting and informative listening regardless of the topic, delving into themes, patterns and precedents that go above the everyday tumble of the news agenda.

Attendees should expect a thought-provoking event, washed down with a pint of Island’s Edge on the night. Those unlucky enough not to head along, can catch the final-leg of the series, live in Galway, which will see the Off The Ball team of Aisling O’Reilly, Eoin Sheehan and Nathan Murphy joined by three very special sports stars on the night.

Partnering with the amazing talent of Blindboy, David McWilliams and the Off The Ball team, The Island’s Edge Podcast Tour delivers captivating conversation, diverse topics and, of course, delicious pints in the unique pub setting.”
