Gavan Hennigan shot to national prominence this month when he completed a solo row across the Atlantic Ocean.

The obstacles the Galwayman has overcome in his personal life are no less immense – he talks to us about struggling with his sexuality, dealing with drug addiction, and testing the limits of his endurance.

We also investigate the secret past of Eoin’s grandfather, Ireland’s film censor in the 1950s, and his ongoing battles with Elvis and abdominal dancing generally; the ‘other’ Anastasia, and Walt Disney’s recipe for Irish coffee.

It’s the third of six shows this week, and the first members-only show of the new world service!

Don’t forget to join The Second Captains World Service now for access to all our shows. The Player’s Chair with Richie Sadlier debuts tomorrow.

Needs more wit of the land
