This is the second in a series of three podcasts I'll upload today, December 2nd, 2022, during which I read recent articles about my book Richard Harris: Raising Hell and Reaching for Heaven. Or extracts from my book that were published in newspapers. This article was published in the Belfast newspaper, The Irish News. Other recent reports, based on the film, The Ghost of Richard Harris, of which I am an associate producer - I wasn't too fond of the final edit - highlight only the fact that Harris was, allegedly, on an IRA hit list. Here I reveal he was a target for the IRA and Loyalists.
