Comedy writer Graham Linehan joins Episode 67 of The Michael Anthony Show for a fascinating and honest discussion, in which he speaks of how he created the most successful Irish TV Show of all time in 'Father Ted', working with Dermot Morgan, his fight with "ball cancer" and his other successes with shows such as 'The IT Crowd' In recent years, Linehan has also become heavily concerned with the cancel culture that has began to dominate the arts. As a man who has always identified on the left, the fifty one year old who brought Craggy Island from brain to screen, doing so much in helping to modernise Ireland away from the clutches of the Catholic Church, Linehan now finds himself abused online and daily vilified in the media for his stance on women’s rights. Although this pursuit is negatively impacting the writer in not just his professional but also personal life, he cannot stand back and let something he deems as detrimental to the future of humanity be not only tolerated, but also encouraged. Whether in agreement or not, like so much of his work in the past, Linehan's take on modern society is undoubtedly compelling. Listen now on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts and more. If previous listeners on SoundCloud, find it now on other platforms.Support the show
