If you're of a certain vintage you'll remember Mike Moloney as one of the mainstays of late night radio in Dublin, and in Ireland. As presenter of The Night Train, when Mark Cagney wasn't doing it, and later Moloney after Midnight, his voice and music choices were an essential part of the radio landscape for years. Mike Moloney began his radio career almost by accident, starting off with a jazz show on ARD, before he did just about every job in there, on-air and off. He moved to Kiss FM and Radio Nova, before ending up on 2FM where he stayed for many years. We chat about his beginnings in the radio industry; how he built a massive radio collection; the fun and games of pirate radio at that time including raids, parties, drinking, armed police guarding studios, SAS involvement, and DJs beating up members of the IRA who were looking to use the popularity of the illegal broadcasters to spread their message. We talk Nova, Chris Carey, being fired at 2am, his move to RTE, phone calls with Mark Cagney's 'brother' and lots more. It's a very entertaining chat, hope you enjoy it, and don't forget you can hear Mike every weekend on Nova.
