Dr Sabina Brennan takes a deep dive into the life and brain of one of Ireland's most respected broadcasters, Mark Cagney. In this the first of a two-parter, we talk about his life growing up in Cork, running away from home, family rifts, the tragic loss of his young wife and making difficult decisions. In part two, Mark walks me through his own recent brush with death, his ongoing recovery, his thoughts about the future and his reflections on his past, with Mark speaking candidly about his cocaine use, and the straight talking that made him quit.
