Our take on The Witness: In His Own Words podcast

The Witness: In His Own Words follows Nicola Tallant's book The Witness. This podcast is about Joseph O'Callaghan and how his testimony helped convict two gangsters who plied their trade as drug dealers. This took place in 2005, and by then, he was the youngest person ever to enter the Witness Protection program in Ireland. O'Callaghan, otherwise known as Joey, tells his own story in The Witness: In his own words. This podcast is an emotional rollercoaster, and it reveals the courageous story of a brilliant, brave boy whose boldness saved many lives.
