Episode 56 - Tracy Clifford

The 738am podcast - talking to people about stuff

My guest this week is 2FM presenter Tracy Clifford. She began her radio career, like so many of us, in the pirate world – this was the era of the 90s dance stations. She went to Ballyfermot to 'study', and almost immediately after leaving there landed a job as a news presenter/editor on East Coast radio. From there she worked on the breakfast show, and the morning show with the legendary Declan Meehan – someone who played a major role in her broadcasting education. Already doing 5 days a week in East Coast, she did weekend news on Spin 103.8, which led to a job as news editor, and then a very successful breakfast show 'Fully Charged', co-presented with Ryan Phillips. She landed a big gig on 2FM last year, so we chat about her career progression; how she spent three hours a morning laughing on Spin; the difference between being part of a duo and solo presenting; her dislike of early mornings; and loads more.
