Episode Notes
Kevin McGahern: Comedian, TV presenter, writer and actor perhaps best known for hosting RTÉ television's Republic Of Telly, appearances in Hardy Bucks and Bridget And Eamon and for currently co-hosting The Lovely Show podcast with Justine Stafford, Kevin’s parents’ music purchases while he was a child in in Cavan turned out to be a huge influence on his own record collecting later in life. And while he may claim to be a particular fan of especially loud and sad music, his shelves reflect a far more diverse taste.
