Broadcaster Whelan reflects on colleague Joe Duffy's retirement from RTÃ after 37 years, expressing surprise at the decision. Whelan emphasizes his ongoing passion for radio and the enjoyment he derives from entertaining audiences. He acknowledges the impact of personal life changes, such as becoming a grandfather, which he describes as enriching and transformative. Whelan remains committed to his work and expresses no desire to retire, crediting his health and happiness for his continued enthusiasm.
He is considerably older than me by about five months... But we all make decisions based on where we are in life.
I know Joe obviously well over the years and I was surprised that he decided to make this decision.
If you are lucky enough to love what you do and have your health and happiness... I have no intention of stopping.
I am sadly obsessed with my granddaughter... I can't wait to get home and see her every day.
