Show Notes

It’s the Rewind 1984 with Henry McKean, where he speaks to the change makers from that year.

In this episode:

  • John Treacy on winning silver in the marathon in the LA Olympics.

  • What was 1984 like in Ireland at that time with MT USA and Bill Hughes?

  • Pop culture expert Dave O'Callaghan, host of the ‘Here And Back Again’ Podcast, on films like Beverly Hills Cop, Gremlins and Ghostbusters. 

  • How a Dunnes Stores worker refused to handle South African fruit, which led to the Irish anti-apartheid movement. 

  • And Michael Buerk's BBC Ethiopian famine report, which spurred on Sir Bob Geldof to organise Band Aid and Live Aid.
