Brendan O’Connor is used to being the one who asks the questions on his radio show. But in the very first episode of Conversations with Parents, the tables are turned on the RTÉ broadcaster, as host Jen Hogan queries him on all things parenting and discovers he is suffering with a touch of Imposter Syndrome.


He's the proud father of Anna and Mary and husband to journalist, Sarah Caden. We're not used to seeing such a personal side to O'Connor, who opens up about the realities of raising two teenage girls, his attempts at 'teachable moments' and how parenting a child with Down Syndrome has changed him.


Produced by Aideen Finnegan.
