  • An Antarctic Affair with Fergus O' Gorman

    An Antarctic Affair with Fergus O' Gorman
    Nov 7 2021
    In this weeks episode I spoke to Dubliner Fergus O' Gorman. Fergus has visited Antarctica eight times and his current book 'Antarctic Affair' tells his story about his fascination of this white, whole, remote, hostile continent. His love affair goes back now over 65 years and he isn't finished yet! He is also an award winning TV and radio presenter and a member of The Forever Young Club. He and his partner Denise sat down with me at The Mountain Lodge recently and we had a fascinating conversation.

    In this week's podcast I spoke to the inspirational Thomas Fortune. Thomas sat down with me at The Mountain Lodge and explained to me why he’s the happiest he’s ever been after shedding the equivalent of an entire person.


    The Kilkenny native was inspired by his mother’s fight against cancer to lose a whopping 12 stone – and now he’s running half-marathons and climbing mountains.
