Henry McDonald

Henry McDonald left us far too young on 19th February 2023. Henry was central in shaping Constructive Voices, with his brilliant interviewing technique, creative input and journalistic ideas and contacts. As well as being an immensely talented writer, journalist and broadcaster, Henry was a very kind and sensitive human being.

Once again, Henry had the patience of a Saint with me and not only agreed to record that same interview but also introduced me to some other top journalists and authors, including Malachi O’Doherty and Jan Carson. Both of whom i went on to interview for the podcast.
