Tommy, Hector, and Laurita celebrate as podcast hits 5m downloads
Tommy Tiernan, Hector Ó hEochagáin and Laurita Blewitt, three friends who got together in the height of lockdown, sat around the table in a henhouse at the bottom of a garden in the West of Ireland and started having the chats.
These chats quickly became the ‘Tommy, Hector and Laurita Podcast’ a No 1 smash across all podcast platforms.
This week the trio are now celebrating another incredible milestone of hitting over five million downloads, listened to in 175 countries, all in less than nine months.
Navan funnyman Tiernen said: "To hear about the joy and laughter that the podcast brings to so many people is incredible. We hope to keep ploughing on until we hit 50 Million. Thank you so much for listening."
Mayo woman Blewitt - who has family links to US President, Joe Biden, added: "It's an honour for me to be working with two individuals from Meath, after what they did to us in '96.’!"
Hector, another Navanite, said: "The reaction has been unbelievable and we're so proud the podcast is reaching so many parishes, both here at home and abroad."
