Doireann Garrihy has revealed what has been the lowest point of her career so far, as she explained she was ‘so sad’ after The Podge and Rodge Show was taken off the air.
Back in 2018, many people were delighted to hear that the show was making a comeback, with Doireann taking over from Lucy Kennedy to present the revamped version. Although the show ended up cancelled after just one season.
During a Q&A on Instagram, Doireann opened up about both the high points and the low points of her career, saying, “Pit was probably when Podge and Rodge was discontinued…”
“Just because I enjoyed doing it so much, and I was just so sad it wasn’t brought back for a second season.
“In my mind I was like, ‘This was such an iconic show in its time, it’s been brought back, I’m the new addition and it hasn’t worked. Am I to blame?’ I don’t know, I’ve made peace with it now.”
Doireann continued, “I think everything happens for a reason and when it wasn’t brought back for a second season that’s when I was like, ‘OK I really want to make this podcast thing properly happen now. I’ve had the idea in my head for ages’.
“And look I’m so happy with the podcast,” she said, referring to her popular podcast, The Laughs Of Your Life.
Doireann then added what her career highlight has been so far, saying, “Peak was probably getting 2fm because I had read the traffic on Eoghan’s drivetime show when I worked in AA Roadwatch, and to go from that to being on a show was just massive.”
