‘I have a bag on my head. Deal with it!’ Is Blindboy the perfect podcaster?

He wears plastic bags as an ‘autistic protest’ and makes podcasts about everything from fish fingers to the Baileys sex cult. The former Rubberbandit talks about turning his ‘weirdo’ world into millions of hits

“Childhood curiosity has genuinely never left me,” says Blindboy. “I’m curious about everything. All the time. Whatever it is, I’m always wanting to know: Why? How? What if?”

This ceaseless curiosity is what has made The Blindboy Podcast such a sensation in the world of audio. Written, recorded and produced by one man in Limerick and released once a week like clockwork, it regularly pulls up to a million listeners a month from around the globe.
