Today FM presenter Dermot Whelan has picked up an award in New York at the Festivals Radio Awards.
The Limerick native won the award for one of his Today FM for his open and honest podcast The Booze Chronicles.
“New York was fun! Delighted to have picked up a trophy at the New York Festivals Radio Awards for my series, The Booze Chronicles,” he shared on Facebook.
The funnyman found he was having terrible hangovers but struggled to stay awake from alcohol so he decided to test hypnotherapy to see if it would help him sway away from the booze.
Booze: Dermot battled to beat the booze
“Last month, I decided to use hypnosis to cut down on my drinking. I don’t really drink more than anyone else but the hangovers were really wrecking my head.
“I also felt like there were two versions of me – a “good” side that loves exercise, early nights and porridge aaaaand a “bad” side that likes to drink dirty big pints, open wine on a Wednesday and occasionally, after a few shots, wear traffic cones on my head,” he said.
The first part of the podcast is available here.
