IRISH AMERICAN DREAM: JOHN AIDAN BYRNE extols America's freedoms & liberties as he shares his journey from Ireland to America covering Bernard Madoff & fraud and also having a rollicking good time.

Despite a history of political and social chaos, wars and economic catastrophe, the USA is still the land of opportunity and freedom, says John Aidan Byrne, award-winning journalist and host of the DIG LIFE DEEP! podcast. At a crossroads in our polarized nation’s history, Byrne in a recent talk at the Library of the Chathams, N.J. looked with hope to the American future. Recalling his life and career with laugh-out-loud moments and adrenaline-fueled deadlines, Byrne describes his journey as a young reporter in rural Ireland, to his life as a media man in America writing for the New York Post, National Catholic Register, Wall Street Journal and other major outlets. He was a foreign correspondent; editor of Traders Magazine for Wall Street traders, and was on staff and a reporter at McGraw Hill’s SecuritiesWeek; Securities Industry Daily; The Irish Echo; and The Irish Voice. This episode is an edited version of John's talk at Chatham Library, NJ.
