Who The hell is Donal McCann and Why Should I Care?

My title for this podcast is purposefully provocative. However, it is also rooted in the fact that every time I tried to include this show in my RET Rdio 1 series, The Joe Jackson Tapes Revisited, I was asked "Who remembers Donal these days" and had to substitute another show. That went n for three years. So now, in part as an act of defiance, I am making the whole dam one-hour show a podcast. Besides who the late Donal McCann was, is one of Ireland's greatest actors, and maybe is remembered most as a result of playing the lead role in John Huston's last film, the adaptation of James Joyce's short story The Dead. Donal and I also discuss existential questions that are even more relevant amid COVID 19, believe me. Listen, you won't be disappointed.
