Joe Duffy, a prominent figure in Irish broadcasting, hosted Liveline for 27 years and announced his retirement after almost four decades with RTÉ. His final show, which aired recently, featured heartfelt farewells from listeners who expressed their appreciation for his ability to connect them through shared stories and struggles. Duffy emphasized the trust built with his audience and reflected on the privilege of hearing their life experiences, concluding that it was time for him to move on after so many memorable years in public service broadcasting.
I’ve decided the time has come to move on. It has been an incredible honour and privilege to be part of a programme that relied entirely on trust.
People felt they could pick up the phone, ring Liveline, and share their lives, problems, stories, sad, bad, sometimes mad and funny, their struggles, and their victories.
