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 interviews including former Taoiseach Leo Varadkar, Fr Peter McVerry, Christy Dignam and many more.

In this week’s episode of Getting to Know You, hosts Chris Hitchcock and Tony Maycock welcome acclaimed artist and designer Robert Ballagh for an insightful and wide-ranging conversation. Taking inspiration from classic programmes such as This Is Your Life and Desert Island Discs, Getting to Know You reveals the personal stories behind public figures.
Robert reflects on his artistic journey — from his early influences and formative years to his celebrated career as one of Ireland’s most recognisable visual artists. Along the way, he discusses the people, music, literature, films, and moments that have shaped both his art and his outlook on life.
This thoughtful and nostalgic chat offers listeners a rare opportunity to explore the man behind the canvas — his inspirations, his passions, and the creative spirit that defines his work.
