Colm Toibin - ‘The problem in life is always middle aged men’
About this episode
Colm Toibin returns to the Free State studio for what is now the traditional Christmas interview.
He reflects on the year when he turned 70, why there is too many men watching rugby on television and why it’s important to take the 99 out of Irish politics forever.
He talks too about the death of his father when he was 12 and how the great Irish psychiatrist Ivor Browne tried to open him up to the trauma in the most extraordinary way.
