In this episode, I sit down with Roderic O’Gorman — Leader of the Green Party, current TD and former Minister for Children, Equality, Disability, Integration and Youth.

We reflect on his political journey, from early activism to serving in Cabinet during a historic coalition government. Roderic shares insights from his time in office including the Green Party’s decision to enter coalition in 2020 and what it was like taking on one of the most complex ministerial portfolios.

We also discuss the emotional toll of public life, his experience coming out and how leadership has shaped him.
