Frankie Gaffney, writer​ and ​activist​ was our guest for Episode 2 of Green Rebel. ​He speaks passionately ​to us ​on subjects close to his heart such as dialects, reading books, creating art, class equality and the curse of social media. ​

In this ​short ​interview, he ​manages to cover everything from Shakespeare through Joyce​,​ via Marxism, Maya Angelou, Roald Dahl, politics, discrimination, racism, misogyny, Irish Twitter and accidentally emailing filthy sex scenes from his book 'Dublin Seven' to his mother. A Freudian click if ever there was one.

​Frankie has gone from getting into "scrapes" with the Gardai​ to DJing to ultimately releasing a novel which ended up at the Number 1 spot in Hodges Figgis and is now lecturing in Trinity and completing a Ph.D. He is an outspoken activist both online and in real life. He truly believes that the love his Mother gave him for reading books from a young age has saved him from a life that could have gone differently. Frankie made for a captivating guest on this episode.

Presented by Emily O'Callaghan and Irina Dzhambazova.
Produced by Irina Dzhambazova.
