John ‘Jumbo’ Kierans – Ireland’s King of the Tabloids

John ‘Jumbo’ Kierans is a legend of the print world, specifically the ‘red tops’, the tabloids. You might associate tabloid newspapers with scandals, sex, showbiz, celebrity exposes, paparazzi chasing stars down the street and all that – and you’d be 100% correct! Jumbo, with vast experience as a journalist and editor in this industry, reveals exactly how it all works, the good, the bad, and the ugly. He also tells me fascinating stories about being the first journalist to enter Kuwait after its liberation, chasing Julia Roberts around Ireland, drinking with Boris Johnson, and a whole lot more.    Also..Happy Birthday to Us!!!!
