A lot of people come up with great ideas for businesses or creative projects, but only a few of them actually make it happen. Tony Kelly is one of those rare people. An actor and comedian, Tony created a comedy character many years ago call Gar Campion who is a very talented but deeply flawed hurler. He started putting Gar in sketches on YouTube and in the years since he has fought tooth and nail to turn The Hurler into a feature film, set in his native Waterford City. And, against all the odds, he has just made that happen In our chat, Tony tells me the fascinating story of how he did it (and it was not easy folks); we also talk about stand up comedy, the uniqueness of Waterford (Tony's home town) and the power of sheer grit and determination COMEDY – David McWilliams has big plans for taking Tom Hanks out on the tear at the Dalkey Book Festival, and Eamon Dunphy and John Giles analyse the big tv breakup of Philip Schofield and Holly Willoughby.

With all of the crazy things that have been happening in the world over the last few years (Brexit, Covid, war, inflation...), who better to ask what this means for you and I and our wallets than the expert economist who can break it all down in the simplest of terms, replete with catchy metaphors and analogies, and laser sharp soundbites.David McWilliams and I met in studio the other day and recorded a conversation that not only picked through the weighty issues of our time like housing, inflation, social inequality and David's expert opinion on those and more; but David also shared some great stories from his time at the Davos Economic Forum, he revealed why he fell in love with economics all those years ago, and he takes a few calls from the like of Leo Varadkar, Eddie Hobbs and even Blindboy Boatcub!

Today's episode is about good communicators, what makes them good and how we can use that information to improve our own performance. However, I'm not looking at politicians or performers, the people you usually expect to be great communicators; no, I'm looking at an economist, a professor of particle physicist and a clinical social worker. What do they do that we can copy? Simple!

British broadcaster and outspoken Remainer James O'Brien has become widely known for the exasperated monologues and heated debates that feature on his daily LBC radio call-in show. He’ll be appearing next week at the Dalkey Book Festival to discuss his book, How to be Right... In a World Gone Wrong. He talks to Hugh about his unique broadcasting style, the British media landscape, the nature of disagreement and the prospects for Britain.

On economics... and being human. How pivotal is good economics to our everyday existence? How good can society be? Is Brexit England's nervous breakdown? Join - and challenge - well-regarded economists Will Hutton and David McWilliams, moderated by BBC Radio 4 broadcaster Andrea Catherwood, for all the answers...and laughs. Will is the Principal of Hertford College Oxford, co-founder of the Big Innovation Centre and co-chair of the Purposeful Company Taskforce (a group of leading companies examining how best to put purpose at the heart of their business model – and how the wider eco-system could better support them). He has chaired a number of commissions for the UK government, notably on Fair Pay for the Coalition and the Creative Industries for the Blair government, and was rapporteur of the Kok Commission's inquiry into shaping the EU’s knowledge economy in 2005. He was a member of the Scott Trust that owns the Guardian and Observer between 2005 and 2017. He has written seven best-selling books on political economy and business, notably the State We’re In, the Writing on the Wall ( on China), Them and Us and more recently, with Andrew Adonis, Saving Britain - the case for a second vote for the UK to stay in the EU. He writes a regular column for the Observer and is a well–known British commentator and public intellectual. David is an economist, author, journalist, documentary-maker and broadcaster. He is adjunct Professor of Global Economics at Trinity College Dublin. He has devoted his professional life to the objective of making economics as widely available and easily understandable on as many platforms and to as many people as possible – and is having a laugh doing it. He co-founded the world’s only economics and stand-up comedy festival Kilkenomics – described by the FT as “simply, the best economics conference in the world”. He also co-founded Ireland’s leading literary and ideas shindig, the Dalkey Book Festival. The WEF at Davos debased their currency profoundly by making him a Young Global Leader a few years back. As well as writing a weekly economics column in The Irish Times, he was named Ireland’s “most influential Twitter user” in 2016. David uses new ways to explain our economic world for example Punk Economics, deploying cartoons to make economics digestible for normal, non-nerdy, punters.David has written four bestsellers and one of these The Pope’s Children was the best selling nonfiction ever published in Ireland. His writing style is described by Stephanie Flanders, as having “a great knack for bringing a complex economics story to life. He is also funny. In economics, that’s a rare and persuasive combination.” His fifth book, Renaissance Nation, is out November 2018.
