Suffice to say that readers coming to this book for some juicy gossip and behind-the-scenes backstabbing will be sorely disappointed. From colleagues in broadcasting down the years to the guests she has interviewed, Miriam \u2013 who has reached the iconic status of being known on the cover by her first name alone, like Madonna or Michelangelo \u2013 is effusively nice about them all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Memoir RTE broadcaster Miriam O&#8217;Callaghan.
