Trinity FM

So 2 thursdays ago (this shows how far behind I am with this blog) I went into the city to meet up with one of my friends from Cork who I worked with at Camp Marist last summer up in Ossipee, NH.  She was up visiting family and going to a lecture while on holiday, so we met up to catch up.  Turns out that one of her friends has a radio show at Trinity College every Thursday night.  So we headed over to Trinity, up to the top floor of one of the buildings just inside the gates into a small, two-room station outfitted with 4 mics, headphones and a switchboard; not very different from the Radio station at Holy Cross where I’ve had a show for the past two years.  So we get into the studio and jump onto the air as if we’ve been part of the show the whole time.  “Two Sirs” was the show’s title.  The two DJ’s, Darragh and Donnagh, met each other when they literally bumped into one another at a park in Dublin, and both excused themselves to the other by saying “sorry sir”, and a beautiful radio friendship was born.  I never would have expected for my night to turn from a quiet pint in the city to “havin’ some feckin’ banter” with two hilarious DJ’s and their friends.  It has been one of my favorite experiences in Dublin thus far, and if I’m lucky, I’ll be back on Trinity FM again soon.
