Our inaugural guest on Behind The Lines is Malachy Clerkin of the Irish Times.

We talk about he got he broke into journalism, what makes a great intro, the “insane discipline” of live reporting, the best piece of advice he has been given and the cliché he avoids like the, er, plague.

The pieces Malachy brought along were: an interview with Daniel Timofte by Paul Howard of The Sunday Tribune that, sadly, is not available online; Rick Reilly’s 1994 piece for Sports Illustrated called When Your Dream Dies; and Denis Walsh’s report of the 2018 All-Ireland hurling championship final for The Sunday Times.
