One of the lovely things that has occurred as a result of Gabriel Byrne’s book, Walking With Ghosts, is that I, a reader, have been introduced to the wide world of book podcasts and audio interviews. Gabriel has talked to so many wonderful interviewers over this past year or so and it’s been so much fun for me, and probably you, too, listening to him elaborate on his book and his experiences, and learning more about his writing process and his thoughts on theater and screen acting.

And look! Here’s another one!

Thursday, February 24 will see Gabriel talking with Peter Sirr and Enda Wyley, hosts of Books for Breakfast. Peter Sirr explains: “Gabriel Byrne discusses Walking With Ghosts and talks about his love of reading, his favourite writers, and the importance of memory for both acting and writing…”

And according to host Peter Sirr, the podcast will be out at 7:00 AM Irish Time.

I will add a link to the podcast here in this posting once it is available. My pile of podcasts to transcribe is pretty big, so I’ll get to this one when I can!
