The Green Island Radio Show Airs Final Episode March 19

This month we say goodbye to a staple of GPB Radio, The Green Island Radio Show, which first began airing in 1992.

With each program, host Harry O’Donoghue, a talented Irish folksinger, storyteller and humorist, has featured the very best Irish and Celtic music. “I have very much enjoyed co-producing and hosting the show all these years and will miss it,“ said O’Donoghue. “We had some fun times, some great co- hosts, some talented musicians who stopped by and some enlightening and informative phone interviews with major Irish entertainers and writers.” The last broadcast of the Savannah-based program will air on the GPB Radio Network Sunday, March 19 at 9 p.m. O’Donoghue plans to continue to perform and take tour groups to Ireland each year with his company, O’Donoghue Tours.

“Harry’s passion for Irish and Celtic music and the depth of his knowledge has made for a rich experience for our listeners,” said GPB Director of Radio Programming Ellen Reinhardt. “We are grateful for all the years his dedication has allowed GPB to bring such a wonderful program to our listeners, and we wish him much success as he spends more time focusing on his career.”
