Ep 182 Bibi Baskin

Bibi Baskin, who, back in the 1980s, was the first woman to host her own television chat show on RTÉ, has been told her voice is like "vocal viagra". During her career at RTÉ she was seen as the natural successor to Gay Byrne, but she left Montrose and headed to New York and England for various jobs in the early 1990s. She went back to RTÉ later in the decade, but then what was meant to be a three week holiday in India turned into 15 years and saw Bibi become a hotelier. She spoke to Kathy Sheridan about her love of the Indian Ayurvedic medicine, her broadcast career and why she would love to be back on the national airwaves, but RTÉ won't have her.
