My Hometown....with Ian Noctor

The Founder of Waterford Whispers News Colm Williamson

Ian Noctor Season 1 Episode 6

Waterford Whispers has been a cultural phenomenon in Irish life for more than a decade. With over half a million Facebook followers and 2 million hits a month on the site, WWN is Ireland's answer to The Onion. The creative powerhouse behind the headlines is my guest on this episode of My Hometown, Colm Williamson.  
WWN has had some of its 'stories' carried in mainstream media around the world including ' North Korea  Lands First Ever Man On The Sun',  poked fun at religion, 'Jesus Not Coming Back Anytime Soon Admits Vatican'. But perhaps most importantly it's story 'Dozens Injured In Stampede After 2nd Aisle In Lidl Is Opened' led to the discount retailer to change it's policy on how many aisles it has open for shoppers........well sort of.
