As part of the MTV for Dublin campaign that I’m currently involved with (Yes, it’s still going on), I was invited to come onto Spin 1038 yesterday and appear on The Spin, the daily talk show with Clare McKenna and Jonathan McCrea.

After rushing down the cobbles, thinking I would be late, on the way to The Malt House, where the station shares premises with Dublin’s 98 (which I was on last week), I chilled out in reception with a nice ice cold glass of water, and caught my breath back before being brought upstairs to the studios where I was greeted by Vinnie O’Dowd (Listeners: The one who is ‘in the crowd’) and got ready for the interview.

As the time approached I entered the studio where I met the two presenters, who were very nice and easy to talk to. After a bit of a chat and defence by me at all the texts from friends piling into the inbox, slagging me, we got ready for the interview.

2.34pm: Live. Interview begins.

2.40-something: It’s done.

2.53: Photo time. (See below)

Overall, it was great to drop into Spin 1038 HQ and meet the guys and get on the air for the interview. I’ll post a copy of it on this website, and the campaign website, as soon as I get around to it.

Thanks to everyone who sent texts into the studio, and everyone who showed their support. You make me smile.

And, cheers to Vinnie, Jonathan and Clare, Sam (who brought me upstairs) and all at Spin. Good on ‘yas.
