Episode Notes
Michael Lyster: While everyone knows him as the former RTÉ Sport presenter – especially for their Gaelic games coverage – when Michael got his first job in RTÉ Radio 2 (as 2fm was known then) in 1980 as a sports reporter, all his friends in Galway assumed it was as a disc jockey such was his love of music growing up, a love that led to his initial stint in media as a music correspondent in the local Tuam Herald. Today, while he occasionally digs out some of his old vinyl up in the attic for a spin, most of it is replaced downstairs by CDs.
