How Is He Podcast Episode 111 w/ Dave Walsh (Walshunit, Viral media-Creator & Comedian)

How Is He Podcast | Ep. 111  Podge's guest today is one of the internet’s great Irish chaos merchants. If you spent any time online in Ireland during the Facebook-video years, you definitely heard his voice coming out of a cartoon character at some point.  Dave Walsh or better known as "Walshunit" is an Irish social media creator and comedian, best known for viral comedy voiceovers and sketches, with a strong Limerick flavour. He originally gained attention on Facebook and YouTube in the mid-2010s, having millions of views across all platforms for dubbing children’s cartoons, especially Peppa Pig, with exaggerated Irish slang and adult humour.  More recently he launched The Unit Podcast, described as “unscripted, hardly thought out nonsense.” The show is currently active with regular episodes released in 2026.

How Is He Podcast Episode 110 w/ Nikki Hayes (RTÉ, Spin 1038, East Coast FM, Mental Health Advocate)

How Is He Podcast | Ep. 110  Joining Podge in Ampifi Studios today, is someone whose voice many will recognise, but it’s her story behind the microphone that’s truly extraordinary.  Nikki Hayes is one of Ireland’s most well-known broadcasters, with a career spanning decades across SPIN 1038, RTÉ 2FM, and East Coast FM. She’s also an author, DJ, and a powerful advocate for mental health and addiction recovery.  But beyond the success, Nikki has lived through some of life’s toughest battles—struggling with mental illness from a young age, navigating addiction, experiencing homelessness, and ultimately rebuilding her life from rock bottom.  Now in recovery, Nikki is using her voice in a completely new way—speaking openly, connecting people to help, and reminding others that no one is beyond hope.
