Shh...its Colm Williamson of Waterford Whispers News
About this episode
On this episode I meet the man behind the brilliant satirical news site Waterford Whispers News, Colm Williamson. Since launch, WWN has garnered international attention and viral popularity many times over. Some of the stories are just plain fun, but some are doing their bit to hold people and institutions in powerful positions to account, when Colm and the team feel it’s needed.
In out chat, Colm shares the fascinating story of how an idea he had just after he found himself unemployed back in the recession of 2009, has grown into a comedy institution , and all the highs and lows along the way. Make sure to check out the team's 10th annual - Waterford Whispers News 2023
COMEDY – we revisit a David McWilliams classic as he reminisces on his trouble-making school days in the ‘Dalkey Tech’.
