Chapter 37: David McWilliams, What’s the Story?

This week on WTSpod Danny sat down with one of Ireland's greatest minds. David McWilliams is an author, broadcaster and economist to name but a few of the strings on his bow and we had the pleasure of welcoming him to Fitzpatrick's Castle in Killiney to discuss his story. 

David describes a recent trip to the Caribbean as well as telling us what it was like to have then Minister for Finance, Brian Lenihan, call to his house at the height of the now infamous banking crisis. It wasn't all doom and gloom however, there was plenty on the table as we talked about festivals, growing up in the borough, a positive idea for solving the housing crisis and the potential for a follow up podcast in the not too distant future... 

On top of all that we hear about Mero being on death's door, Blackfish wins, and with thanks to our friends over at PodSkwod we give our top 5 fictional characters who would make a better President than Donald Trump.
