Terry Prone on allowing son Anton Savage to be in her publicity as a child: ‘I think it was the wrong thing to do’
Listen now
Description
Author, broadcaster and chairman of The Communications Clinic, Terry Prone, may live a quiet life now but she's faced the kind of challenges you could expect to see in a Netflix drama. From an against-all-odds love story (she met her husband Tom Savage while he was still a priest), living on the breadline, raising their son Anton Savage while they worked, to surviving a catastrophic car accident that dashed her hopes of having more children. In this episode, the communications expert speaks to host Jen Hogan about parenting in a patriarchal Ireland, how the family coped in the difficult years after her accident and why she now regrets compromising including Anton in her 'publicity act' when he was a child. Produced by Aideen Finnegan Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
