No doubt many of you who are into podcasts are well aware of Jarlath Regan. His show 'An Irishman abroad' hit the ground running when his first episode topped the iTunes charts, and since then he's gone from strength to strength, interviewing people like Boy George, Niall Quinn, Aidan Gillen and loads more.

Jarlath was in town last week for the Vodafone Comedy Festival where he recorded his latest shows (a two parter with Tommy Tiernan), and he was kind enough to come to the Castaway studios for a good chat about his life as a stand-up comedian and as a podcaster – roles that he views as quite separate from each other.

We discuss why he moved into the world of comedy after a career in graphic design didn't fulfill him, how and why he started the podcast, his process in preparing for interviews, and loads more. If you're a podcast junkie, this is going to be one you'll really enjoy.

You can find Jarlath on Twitter @Jarlath and you can subscribe to An Irishman Abroad on iTunes.

As ever, hope you enjoy the show. If you like it, a rating or a review (or both!) on iTunes would be greatly appreciated.
