Description

You guys asked for it.   Here's what was suppose to be "episode 101" where Andrew Trimble turns the tables and gets me on the other side of the mic.   We chat about selling Tayto crisps to Norn Irish people living abroad, starting up t-shirt businesses at 16, leaving Northern Ireland "forever" and coming back home to start Best Of Belfast.   (As well as dreams, short stories, mental health, burn out and tape cassettes).   Enjoy!   // P.S. I'll be doing a follow-up Q+A podcast with The Producer's Club online over the next few weeks where we'll get to questions submitted by you.   Watch this space. In the meantime, we're putting out a podcast every single day during the COVID Crisis.   "Quarantine Phone Calls" are an opportunity to take a break from screens and get outside while listening to me chat the ear of to someone interesting from this part of the world.   Check it out.   // To see a 'treasure trove' of all things related to Andrew (including a photo) please visit https://bestofbelfast.org/stories/matthew-thompson-belfast   Best Of Belfast is Northern Ireland's #1 Interview Podcast. We've shared 100+ hour-long conversations with incredible people from Northern Ireland.   To find out more, or join 'The Producers Club' please visit https://bestofbelfast.org/   Cheers!   — Matt
