INQUIRE - Michael Harding In Fairness

Our last episode of the season!
This conversation marks the final episode in our Inquire series. This week we are joined by award winning Cavan writer Michael Harding. Michael worked as a teacher, a prison social worker and as a priest before leaving the priesthood and studying buddhism for a few years. Michael is a regular columnist with the Irish Times and has written memoirs, novels, plays, and has toured the country doing live talks on his books. Michael has also worked as an actor on screen and stage, and has performed as the Bull McCabe in the Field. You can listen to his podcast, the Michael Harding podcast, on Spotify, Patreon and Audible.
In this episode Michael talks to Molly about work, mental health, theatre, God and masculinity. This is an enveloping and philosophical conversation that gracefully fails to understand what it means to be human, like all good theatre should.
You can keep up with Michael’s podcast on Twitter @hardingmichael. You can find his podcast, the Michael Harding podcast, on Spotify, Patreon and Audible, and you can find his columns in the Irish Times. His newest book, A Cloud Where the Birds Rise, is available to buy now from all book shops. This is a collaboration with illustrator Jacob Stack, where Michael’s most memorable musings on the human condition are brought to life by art.
