Shaun Keaveny's Daily Grind

By Global

Welcome to the world of Shaun Keaveny’s Daily Grind. It's a show of contradictions, it's about anything and everything but it's definitely also a show about nothing. It's a bit like a daily radio show but it's a podcast. It’s disorientating, but it’s also reassuring! The Daily Grind is a comforting accompaniment to help you through the week, as Shaun Keaveny returns to the studio in this daily podcast. Listen everyday from 5pm. A Global Original and Radio X production in association with APX Content Venture

Shaun Keaveny's Daily Grind - The Trailer

"Did you think I was dead? Did you think I was off living in a cave? Did you think I was working as a waitress in a cocktail bar? Do you even know who I am? Maybe the answer to all those questions is no, but I hope you say YES I WILL LISTEN TO YOUR PODCAST because I honestly think it's going to be great. WHAT’S IT ABOUT, SHAUN?? Good question...I can’t answer that. It is a podcast essentially about nothing and everything. Will there be guests? Yes, in a weird way. Will we be in the studio? Yes, but also everywhere...on a canal towpath...in a pub. Will there be features? YES...Will you stop asking questions? YES OKAY. If nothing else it will be a mildly diverting daily piece of daft to counteract the daily dread. GO ON GIVE IT A GO!!The first episode of Shaun Keaveny's Daily Grind goes out on October 16th.
