Hello our little party poppers, and welcome to episode 100 of BGC! Yes, can you believe it's been 100 years since we first started? ...Ahem, that doesn't seem correct... Anyway, let's carry on. To help us celebrate this historic show we are joined by our own Scottish kilt: Blind Gordon, the Bambi Thug of the podcasting world: Kevin Sherwin, and our own personal Accessibility Discovery Centre: Brian Dalton, not to mention the wonderful Clodagh O'Donovan, about whom we can’t think of anything to say that won’t get us in trouble! It's a show of reminiscing, with a little sprinkling of Euro football and Dutch politics on top. Clodagh kicks it all off with her favourite topic; Christmas! And believe it or not, she actually got to meet Santa recently and they had a robust conversation regarding the non-delivery of long-promised snow over the past few Christmases. Poor Santa 😢 We also remember our interviews with the wonderful Lady Veronika Hyks; that time Stuart climbed Mount Kilimanjaro; our wonderful conversations with Prof John Sweeney, Prof Luke O'Neill, Irish government Minister Roderic O'Gorman, Jenny Axler, the Pope, Albert Einstein, The Minions, and so very many more.
