What Guests Have Said
Musician (Hothouse Flowers)
"……Fender Jackson Podcast has become an institution in the world of the spoken word. There is no limit to where the conversation might go and to whom he might chose to sit and discuss life and vision. I thoroughly enjoyed being interviewed and feel I have recorded a valuable chapter in the telling of my story. He deserves wide recognition and to be heard.”
Irish Language Advocate
"I do a lot of interviews and meet many interesting people but doing an interview with Fender is one that stands out.
He is warm, friendly, great fun and very easy to spend time with - by the time he left I felt like I had made a new friend. And I think it’s this laid back style that makes his podcasts so great to listen to. He creates a natural rapport with his interviewees and then allows the listener to join in the banter."

James Joyce Centre
"Fender interviewed me in May 2024 for his podcast The Ireland Podcast in the James Joyce Centre about Joyce, the Bloomsday Festival and Ireland's relationship with writers.
Fender was thoughtful and conscientious. He showed a genuine interest in what we do at the James Joyce Centre as well as Joyce's work and legacy. The two episodes he published based on our interviews are intricate, professional and accessible. He is a pleasure to talk to. I would highly recommend his podcast to anyone who wants to learn more about Ireland."
Author & Journalist
"My experience of The Ireland Podcast was unreservedly positive, an interview that was intelligent and searching but at the same time civil and allowing time for careful reflection. Fender gets the best out of people without intrusion or aggression. It was a pleasure."
