Fergal D'Arcy: "The PC brigade has ruined Irish radio"

Fresh from winning Best Radio DJ in our 2020 Readers’ Poll, Fergal D’Arcy occupies the Hot Press Interview slot in our new issue, out today with a suited and booted Niall Horan on the cover.
“The endorphins will be running wild in there!” Fergal says of his Today FM afternoon show. “I don’t want to sound pornographic, but I’d almost be on a raging semi coming out of the studio. Often times I’d come in and be thinking, ‘Mic, you and I are going to do great work.’”
In a searingly honest interview, he goes on to talk to Stuart Clark about losing his father whilst a teenager; the mental health struggles that followed; and his recent brush with cancer.
Plus, we get Fergal’s thoughts on Caroline Flack, Mary Lou McDonald, Tony Fenton, Dave Fanning, Matt Cooper and what’s right and wrong about Irish broadcasting.
It all adds up to an unmissable interview with a broadcaster who's not afraid to raise his head above the parapet, and ruffle feathers.
