About this episode

Nicky Byrne and Jenny Greene discuss their time on RTÉ 2FM and the journey of music and creativity.

Nicky sits down with one of Ireland’s greatest DJs and his former radio partner, Jenny Greene, for a nostalgic and honest conversation about chemistry, chaos and chasing music from a young age. From growing up in Shankill with a Walkman and a love of Paul Simon to five unforgettable years together on RTÉ 2FM, Jenny reflects on creativity, confidence and why the best radio moments can’t be scripted.
