Donncha O Callaghan Says Irish People's Best Superpower Is The Craic And We Need To Keep Teaching It
Weekend Breakfast with Alison CurtisShow Notes
Alison Curtis is joined on Weekend Breakfast by “Disaster Dad” himself, Donncha O’Callaghan, to chat about book number three: Disaster Dad: Animal Antics — inspired by real-life parenting chaos, trips to places like Fota, and that dreaded moment when you realise you didn’t close the door properly…
Donncha has some great advice for our young people - we need to teach them it's okay to make mistakes and get it wrong ---social media is making them think they have ton be perfect and Alison reminds Donncha of the legendary red underpants incident (it's the 20th anniversary!!) And his brand new TV show on Sunday evenings - Donncha’s Away Games which sound like brilliant chaos from wife-carrying in Finland to bathtub racing in Belgium with Tommy Bowe.
