Steve Ahern caught up with Aussie Fyona Smith, who is now in based in Dublin as Managing Editor for Bauer Media's Today FM.
Fyona previously worked in sales, as an announcer at SCA and ARN, a music director and Head of Radio at AFTRS. She left Sydney to work in Ireland about 5 years ago.
"One of the things that's different about the Irish audience is their absolute love of radio, it's still at pre-internet levels. Spoken word content and the connection to radio is really embedded in culture here, that hasn't been disrupted by all of the streaming choices or all of the entertainment choices that we've got with multiple devices now. That really fascinates me.
Listen to the full interview between Steve Ahern and Fyona over a pint of Guiness in a Dublin pub.
