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 special episode of Getting to Know You, hosts Chris Hitchcock and Tony Maycock are joined by one of Ireland’s most iconic entertainers — Dickie Rock. Beloved for his legendary showmanship and timeless voice, Dickie sits down for an open, heartfelt, and often humorous chat about his remarkable life and career.
Taking inspiration from classics like This is Your Life and Desert Island Discs, Getting to Know You goes beyond the spotlight to uncover the person behind the public persona.
Dickie reflects on his early days in music, the highs and challenges of fame, and the memories that have stayed with him through the years. Along the way, he shares some of his favourite songs, films, and cultural influences that have shaped both the man and the performer.
Join Chris and Tony for an hour of laughter, nostalgia, and storytelling as they celebrate the extraordinary journey of a true Irish music legend.
