Series 2: Episode 6 - Keith Walsh

YEAR OF THE SELFIE with Amy De Bhrún

Today’s guest is Irish Broadcaster and Writer – Keith Walsh. Keith has been an open book in the media about mental health and our chat was no different. I chatted to him, just as he had taken a ‘leap of faith’ upon leaving RTE 2fm, after 7 years at the radio station. We explore everything from his years on Breakfast Radio to what it felt like when it ended and how he started to re-evaluate his career trajectory, to how dealing with his mental health opened up his creativity in a new way. He is on a journey and allowing himself to create without any huge agenda, led to him writing and performing his own one-man theatre show. It is a testament to his ability to be vulnerable and genuine, that we fitted so much into a short space of time. What an exciting time for him and what an honour it was to be so open and honest about those very important links between our mental health and creativity.
