Getting to Know You is an hour long show on Dublin 15's community radio station 92.5 Phoenix FM, produced and presented by Chris Hitchcock and Tony Maycock which takes its inspiration from shows such as ‘This is Your Life’ and ‘Desert Island Discs’ – a programme during which they endeavour to get to know the private side of a person as opposed to their public image or persona.
It is an interview type show in which local and prominent personalities are interviewed about their life and times, and their musical, literary, cinematic and sporting preferences are discussed. It takes the form of a friendly ‘chat’, and it is a pleasant, nostalgic, reminiscence of the life stories of a diverse group of people.
92.5 Phoenix FM is delighted to bring Getting to Know You to all podcast services for the first time. We will release a new episode from the extensive archives lately, with interviewees including former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Fr Peter McVerry, Christy Dignam and many more.

In this episode of Getting to Know You, hosts Chris Hitchcock and Tony Maycock welcome one of Ireland’s most distinguished public figures — Senator David Norris. Known for his lifelong advocacy for equality, culture, and heritage, Senator Norris joins Chris and Tony for a deeply personal and entertaining conversation that reveals the man behind the public persona.
Inspired by classic programmes such as This is Your Life and Desert Island Discs, Getting to Know You explores the private side of its guests through stories, memories, and the art that has shaped their lives. Senator Norris shares candid reflections on his upbringing, his time in public service, his passions for literature and history, and the music and films that have accompanied him along the way.
With warmth, wit, and plenty of nostalgia, this hour-long chat offers listeners an intimate portrait of a remarkable Irish life.
